My first set of posts here are going to be about fantastic scholars who've taught me so much about reading, writing and research in the past couple of years. So grateful (and gleeful) to have learnt from them! @emendenhall.bsky.social @rituparna37.bsky.social

Before I taught tonite, I read Jina Kim's brilliant introduction and paused at this beautiful line: “I examine some of the ways that queer people have acted as infrastructure for one another through sickness and death, when nothing else in the world will hold us."

Next week on Thursday I'm speaking at UC Santa Barbara, at the new Pahl Center, for a book talk on Citizen Scholar. And they're giving away books!
Flyer text
THE PAHL CENTER FOR THE STUDY
OF CRITICAL SOCIAL ISSUES
Citizen Scholar:
Public Engagement for Social Scientists
Philip N. Cohen
What is the role of professional scholars in civic life? Drawing from
personal experience and in-depth research, Citizen Scholar explores
intellectual work on social media, communication on topical issues,
the role of political activism, and how to build trust while developing a
public intellectual identity. For social scientists seeking to reach a
wider public, Citizen Scholar provides tools and strategies for
intellectual engagement and imparts invaluable perspective on how
to lead a fulfilling professional and civic life.

This is what we get when we treat billions as a proxy for brilliance: men who know nothing but think they know everything because their money lets them do whatever they want.

There's is enough wealth in the US for everyone to have a home, but it's concentrated in the 1% who plan to squeeze everyone else to poverty and death to get wealthier. An 18% increase in homelessness due to unaffordable housing is a feature of the system not a bug. www.npr.org/2024/12/27/n....
npr.org
U.S. homelessness jumps to another record high, amid affordable housing shortage
The annual federal count finds more than 770,000 people living in shelters or outside. It cites rising rents and the recent surge in migrants as key factors behind the increase.
