My book “Laboring in the Shadows: Precarity and Promise in Black Youth Work” is now out! I center Black youth workers (community based educators) as essential caregivers, mentors, + educators whose labor sustains youth, + our economic + family systems. @stanfordpress.bsky.social

Our EEPA paper on the media's role in shaping our understanding of student loans, race, and racism is here! Email me if you don't have access & want a copy. One of my fav papers for a few reasons but, most of all, it's my first paper with my husband 😍 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/...

Screenshot of the top of the article published in Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis. Title is Race below the fold: The absence of race in the news media's coverage of student loans. Written by me, Lauren Shook, Jaime Ramirez-Mendoza, and Christopher Bennett. Abstract reads: The media discourse on student loans plays a significant role in the way that policy actors conceptualize challenges and potential solutions related to student debt. This study examines language that explicitly indicates race and racism in student loan articles published in eight major newspapers from 2006 to 2021. We found that 18% of articles use any of this language, though use has accelerated since 2018. This increase appears driven by terms that denote groups of people instead of structural problems, with 8% of articles mentioning “Black” in a racialized context but less than 1% mentioning “racism.” These findings emphasize the importance of treating the media as a policy actor capable of shaping the salience of racialization in discussions about student loans.

A basic red line for defending academic freedom would be not turning over faculty data because they signed an open letter.

The Trump administration is hoping that faculty steps back in fear. But we will rise together in solidarity—it is the only way. On April 3rd at 6pm CT/7pm ET, join our Emergency Town Hall and fight for academic freedom. Register: bit.ly/42hRlPK

We are so thrilled to introduce our new FAJI Fellows--seven early-career scholars whose work brings activism and the Abolition Reparations Investment Safety (ARIS) framework into the academy. Read about their projects here: bit.ly/3WXHonE

an extremely long tweet from the President of Colombia roasting the United States and the Trump administration. "the US sucks except for Black people, Walt Whitman, Paul Simon, and Noam Chomsky" is just the beginning of what we in the business call a rich text

screenshot of the first 1/3rd of the tweet. the text reads:

"Trump, a mi no me gusta mucho viajar a los EEUU, es un poco aburridor, pero confieso que hay cosas meritorias, me gusta ir a los barrios negros de Washington, allí ví una lucha entera en la capital de los EEUU entre negros y latinos con barricadas, que me pareció una pendejada, porque deberían unirse.

Confieso que me gusta Walt Withman y Paul Simon y Noam Chomsky y Miller

Confieso que Sacco y Vanzetti, que tienen mi sangre, en la historia de los EEUU, son memorables y les sigo. Los asesinaron por lideres obreros con la silla eléctrica, los fascistas qué están dentro de EEUU como dentro de mi país

No me gusta su petroleo, Trump, va a acabar con la especie humana por la codicia. Quizás algún día, junto a un trago de Whisky qué acepto, a pesar de mi gastritis, podamos hablar francamente de esto, pero es difícil porque usted me considera una raza inferior y no lo soy, ni ningún colombiano.

Así que si conoce alguien terco, ese soy yo, punto. Puede con su fuerza económica y su soberbia intentar dar un golpe de estado como hicieron con Allende. Pero yo muero en mi ley, resistí la tortura y lo resisto a usted. No quiero esclavistas al lado de Colombia, ya tuvimos muchos y nos liberamos. Lo que quiero al lado de Colombia, son amantes de la libertad. Si usted no puede acompañarme yo voy a otros lados."

Not just the National Institutes of Health, now the National Science Foundation is put on pause. Reminder: research is a multi-step process. Pausing the peer review panels by itself creates months of delay.

I’m coding some student protests and am so inspired by Black student activists from UNC in 2015. I love that their vision for tuition-free college included “financial aid that is loan-free and labor-free.”
