Editorial: U of A Tomorrow undermines advanced education - The Gateway

U of A Tomorrow should be rejected as a failure. If this process is the U of A’s future, then we should truly pray tomorrow never comes.

Kristen Welker, the second Black woman to moderate a presidential debate on her own, asked the candidates about the conversation that Black parents have with their children, telling them how to behave so police officers will not shoot them. #Debates2020 nyti.ms/35ncFVq

There’s much talk about faculty attitudes toward non-academic PhD careers but little hard data. Now, in this @ps_polisci article, @loleen_berdahl, @jlisayoung and I report English-Canadian polisci faculty views of the oversupply of PhDs relative to academic positions. 1/5

There are more #PhD graduates than academic jobs, but most programs train students for academic careers. @loleen_berdahl @JonathanMalloy & @JLisaYoung asked #PoliticalScience faculty what should be done. #AcademicTwitter bit.ly/2DZRbUt

Important read!! “Becoming an anti-racist is not a self-help endeavour, akin to donating household objects that do not spark joy; it is a political ethos and a political movement.” - Chimwemwe Undi cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/… – at Calgary, Alberta

There was a woman in the room with the expertise, training, skills, medical degrees & public trust to deliver complex health modelling information to Albertans. So naturally @jkenney, a man with none of these attributes, pushed her out of the way to talk for 45 minutes. #ableg

Replying to @markusoff
Update: 45 minutes or so. Kenney has a habit of being excessively verbose. This was utterly and completely not the best time to fall into that habit.

We would like to send a big thank you to all those who submitted abstracts to our annual conference. In response to provincial and university recommendations regarding public gatherings, we have decided to postpone this event until September 2020. Take care, everyone!

Every system in the U.S. is about to fail because every system is built against caregiving. Caregiving was always supposed to exist outside of the workplace, handled by an army of unpaid women that no longer exists. This isn’t just a disaster of capitalism, it’s patriarchy.
