OPINION: Instead of panicking over test scores, let’s rethink how we measure learning and student success - The Hechinger Report
For decades, education policy has lurched from one student test score panic to the next, diverting attention from what truly matters. Instead of obsessing over test scores, we should focus on the broa...

Keep sharing your JOY ✨ Keep celebrating your PhD defenses, job offers, and awards! Keep telling us ALL the good things. Joy & Hope are what keep us going when things look bleak. They are also forms of resistance.

As a Sociologist who has studied families and schools for nearly two decades, there are many things I want to say (or yell) about the new EO on Education. But for now I'll just say--if you want to achieve the (longstanding GOP) goal of privatizing public schooling, this is a great place to start. 1/

From an op-ed I wrote for Newsweek on the role elite schools played in creating people like Vance by promoting the meritocracy myth. www.newsweek.com/time-america...

I am seeking a coauthor who wants to write about jokes in preschool classrooms. Must: love Spencer Cahill's work and have a symbolic interactionist sensibility. Preferred: a qualitatively-included graduate student seeking coauthorship opportunities. I'm not joking!!!!!

My workplace just basically banned departments from making public statements, UNLESS they follow a highly articulated process. I have a lot of thoughts***, including that the policy prescribes an unusual amount of collective action for a place with no shared governance.

Spotify Wrapped feels like a mirror for our narcissism. They know we love learning things about ourselves. It’s genius, really: make people feel special for having the most generic habits imaginable. Wrapped is a data-driven ego boost for a society desperate to feel unique.

HOLDING IT TOGETHER made the @npr.org Books We Love list! It's tagged as a staff pick, a book club idea, and an eye-opening read. As Erica Liao wrote: "Some of the interviews may ruin your day with how angry they make you... [but there's] also a healthy dose of hope." apps.npr.org/best-books/#...

Maybe it’s the age I’m in – seeing friends and peers become parents while also caring for their own parents, seeing how it radically changes their lives, seeing the price of child care! – but this book hit home. Drawing on surveys and in-depth interviews, Holding It Together clearly lays out how the U.S. forces women to fill in as society’s support system through both written policy and cultural norms. Some of the interviews may ruin your day with how angry they make you. There is also a healthy dose of hope, as this book points us toward urgent institutional changes to pave a better path forward.

Amari has mostly adapted to NH, but he had a recent complaint. He used to love walking to a corner store that gave free healthy snacks to kids. He said, "in Denver we could walk to get yogurt parfaits, but here we have to make them ourselves." We DID make some Ina Garten quality shit though....

This paper has been in my mind for many years, it is emotional to see it in print. My core motivation has been to test the hypothesis that privatized care services generate class inequalities, in addition to generating gender inequalities as we already know.

1) I'm working on analyzing segregation in the Denver private child market. 2) I keep thinking about what Arlie Hochschild would think of the push for mothers to foster socio-emotional skills in children. (would love to know if folks have studied this or want to).

In an effort to be better about celebrating myself (thank you, therapy): I got a teaching award from the College of Arts & Sciences at UAlbany! This was particularly meaningful honor because it involved the submission of letters of support from actual students.
A picture of a slide that reads “Dean’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in Teaching Excellence Award Recipient. Congratulations Kate Averett, Department of Sociology.” The slide also includes a photo of Kate, a white woman with short brown hair leaning artfully (lol) against a cement wall.
