With the news that the US is openly weaponizing space, I’d like to reshare this essay I wrote for The Baffler: “Without the capacity and the will to live in good relations with our local ecosystems and each other, wherever we are, we will be on a suicide mission.” 🔭

My pedagogical philosophy begins with the premise that I am helping students become better thinkers than they were before and that doing this effectively will best prepare them for whatever life throws at them, intellectually, economically, and otherwise.

Couldn’t agree more. The skill that will last any student the longest is being able to solve problems and adapt to new information. We must also remember that billion dollar industries exist to prey on people without critical thinking skills.

I will also say this. There is a real, authentic cohort of poor and working class people in higher education. They can speak to the complexities of being in and not of a class position without making broad, provocative generalizations. One day, someone should publish those people.
