I finished RADICAL HOPE by @thetattooedprof.bsky.social on the train last night, and I think Ch 10 “I Don’t Know…Yet” should be required reading for anyone who teaches, but especially in college. Building a learning space that allows for failure is just good pedagogy.

I desk reject manuscripts at Research in Higher Education if they don't engage with literature published in the field of higher education. If you're just citing psychology, engineering, or econ, send your manuscripts there. I can't find reviewers for interesting work in other fields.
