My guidebook, “How to Teach Contentious Issues in the Classroom” is now available for all #educators! Based on my @DukeU class, my hope is to guide teachers to address conversations of #diversity and #equity where it’s needed most—in the classroom. #edutwitter #education #edchat

In 2015, Assistant Dean @CiscoRamosPhD looked for guidance on tackling uncomfortable topics in the classroom and found the resources limited. Over the next 5 years, he worked on a guidebook for teaching contentious issues, which he published last week. bit.ly/3grMxOa

In conversations about career planning for doctoral students, "alt-ac" is so often a placeholder for unknown-- and navigating that unknown takes time, thought, and care. #PHtwitter #PhD #altac #postac #humanities

Big news! After months of uncertainty, I’m happy to announce that I’ve accepted a permanent position at my new desk in the spare room. I’ve enjoyed my time working at the dining room table, but in the end it just wasn’t a good fit for either of us.
