"In 2020, there were only six programs in the U.S. that sent unarmed responders, such as mental health clinicians, to certain 911 calls instead of police officers. Now, these programs — sometimes called alternative or community response — are in nearly 100 cities." www.npr.org/2026/09/22/n...

Alternative response programs, where mental health clinicians respond to 911 calls instead of police, have proliferated since George Floyd's murder. What does it take to do this work well?

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

It goes without saying but just in case: You absolutely do not have to hand it to JK Rowling. Even if she DID mean what she says about trans adults (which she doesn't, she is constantly attacking trans adults just trying to live their lives) it doesn't mean anything given the HARM she has caused

Classics friends, a colleague and I are trying to put together a pedagogy panel for CAMWS on working with grad students specifically - if you teach in a grad or post-bac program we'd love more submissions!
While pedagogy panels are a common feature of Classics conferences, most focus on instruction at the K-12 or undergraduate levels, with comparatively little discussion devoted to the way we teach graduate students. Many undergraduate programs operate under the reasonable assumption that their typical student will not seek graduate training, meaning that those who do continue often need dedicated support while they adjust to a new set of duties and expectations. At the same time, recent changes in the higher education landscape have inspired a great deal of reflection on the nature and purpose of graduate training in Classics, with the result that many programs have significantly altered their degree plans. While goals and priorities continue to evolve, numerous factors affect the successful implementation of strategic changes. This panel seeks to bring such ongoing conversations to the level of praxis and investigate how best to meet the needs of today’s graduate students both in the classroom and in the supervision of their developing research and teaching skills.

We seek papers from instructors with recent experience teaching and mentoring graduate students. Papers should be practical in nature and may include such topics as: differential language abilities in graduate classrooms, assignments that introduce professional research/teaching skills, effective preparation for qualifying exams, strategies for fostering independent learning, integrating diverse career preparation into coursework, special considerations for post-bac students, etc., and (if you must) AI in graduate research.
If you are interested in participating in this panel, please send an abstract of approximately 300 words to Dan Leon (dleon@illinois.edu) by Wednesday August 5 at 5:00 PM Central Time.
