Going back to Boston for #CUFA24 has me all in my feels about #CUFA14 and the parallels ten years later. As program chair for the conference, I wanted to build community in the field, and was learning to play with the nascent social media tools at the time…

Hey Bluesky fam. What’s up? Just here to share about the things I care about. Other humans. Cultivating caring social studies teachers. And random other things that make me happy. Glad to still have others around to read/listen. ❤️
