Eval advice: 1) look over the lang ur dept/campus eval uses: build it into your class vocab; do this 2) do ur own evals mid way—ask what prof/class/*they* cld do better, what’s going well. 3) *remind* them to write about what they *love* in final evals. #WomenInSTEM #trynagrad
First year profs and future first year profs - as evaluation season is coming up, know that almost all of us will get at least one bad student eval. If you're like me, no matter how many good ones you get, that bad one will keep you up at night. My recommendation - [1/2]

Black scholars gave me a framework to understand and love myself, but I have grown to recognize that not every part of my existence needs theorizing. Some things are important because they can’t adequately be captured, they just are.

A loving nod to the teachers/scholars/grad students that took a to-do list of work home over the break and literally did none of it. It’s fine. We needed it. Rest up 👌🏾

There was a time in the not too distant past when higher education was seen as a public good. Then the country grew more diverse. chronicle.com/article/When-C…
