Excited to share my op-ed on California's legacy admissions ban, discussing how this shifting standard moves the goalposts for upwardly mobile Black families. #HigherEd #EducationalEquity #LegacyAdmissions chronicle.com/article/how-th…

Happy to share that I am joining the faculty at Harvard University! I’ve accepted a TT position as an Assistant Professor in Studies of Women, Gender, & Sexuality and I start this fall on a fellowship. I’m so thrilled to continue my work on Togolese women’s history at Harvard.

It never ceases to amaze me the nooks and crannies that inequality will find. @_AdrienneCJ_ I always appreciate work like yours that compels us to contend with understudied areas of inequality and the following outcomes

I’m deeply affected when I think of society’s many ways of short changing and robbing youth of their childhoods. Schools should work to enhance & fulfill childhood. In addition to educating, it takes radical intentionality to protect youth from society’s harm in its many forms.

When I think of these situations, I think about the need to maintain clear lines for youth so as not to confuse them on safe and unsafe touch. By eroding their sense of physical boundaries, I think we can inadvertently make them susceptible to situations that can harm them.

An academic career progression can be perfectly linear: PhD - Postdoc - Assistant Professor. Here’s mine: PhD - Postdoc 1 - Postdoc 2 - Postdoc 3 - Instructor - Senior Postdoc - Scientist II - Scientific Director - Assistant Professor. And you know what? That’s ok. AMA ;)

In college I was a congressional intern. Seeing how white Capitol Hill was (except for the service workers) inspired “The Last Plantation”. I discuss with Jim Saska (@saksappeal) how unequal staff representation subverts democracy and how to fix it. rollcall.com/2024/05/29/con…

Kendrick really dragged this man and his woes all through the 6, to the n+1 to Wakanda and back again.

I’m starting to wonder whether the push to make things engaging and activity-oriented is actually helping students develop skills that require sustained focus like reading, writing, and thinking critically.
