Colleen @dalgal412.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My advisor at Iowa referred to one of my grad school colleagues as "the sexy redhead in the back" to undergrad students. Only my (female) friend and I batted an eye. This was early 2000s. Program was basically on the intersection of race/class/gender and education, so irony there. I left before PhD. 151

Colleen @dalgal412.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It seems to have led to Sen Marshall putting out a statement in which he tries to very lightly distance himself from the GOP on this issue.
