    Having a college education shapes women’s work and family trajectories—including their marriage, parenting, and employment patterns—but the effects of education differ among Black, Latina, and white women, according to new research.

    Here are 4 key takeaways

    Put together some promo flyers for the Honors' course The History of History that I am scheduled to teach in the fall. Because, who can say no to Dolores Huerta with a megaphone? No one can. No one, I say. 😆

    @histodons @academia @academicchatter

    Promo flyer with the text "Who writes history? Who is included in history? Who is excluded from history? Why? The History of History IDH 3034 U28 Fall 2024 Erika Harlitz Kern" written over a photograph of Dolores Huerta speaking into a megaphone.

    Good news everyone!

    "ChatGPT Edu, powered by GPT-4o, is designed for universities to responsibly integrate AI into academic and campus operations. This advanced AI tool supports text and vision reasoning, data analysis, and offers enterprise-level security."

    Based on everything we know about AI, I am sure nothing could possibly go wrong with this new tool to integrate it into our and campus operations more broadly.

    🧵 What is this? After pushing UC for 4 years now to quit designing buildings where inaccessibility is the default, a main entrance to a building is wheelchair accessible?

    What finally convinced UC Davis, one wonders? @disability @academicchatter

    What finally convinced UC Davis to make the main entrance accessible instead of putting a narrow ramp out on the side by a trash can?

    Oh.

    Ah, there's the UC Davis we know. Unnecessary steps because you weren't specifically PAID to do your duty under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act nor to actually make a public university accessible to the public.

    Aftermath of last week: colleagues are now sending emails urging the Academic Senate to take up the matter of on campus. Because there was a SERIOUS police presence/perimeter. A number of attendees dropped out in protest of that alone... & I don't blame them one bit

    I think it's gonna take a lot more than eloquent letters... And unf I don't think we should plan any more conferences for police state campuses, ever again

    With some universities canceling or modifying commencement ceremonies over protests or fear of protests, an anthropologist reminds us that there’s a lot more at stake than just a line of seniors getting a fancy piece of paper.

    Oh my. This is what happens when University presidents make decisions without shared governance. What a trip! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ohio-state-graduation-commencement-speaker-b2542310.html @academicchatter

    Fellow academic colleagues: please get involved in shared governance at your institution. I know, that kind of service takes up your time and is often thankless, but it is crucially important. And it is on the verge of extinction at many places. The rug is being pulled out from under us while we go about our teaching and research.

    If we value our work in we have to do the work to make the institution a place that is fair, equitable, and just.

    At Columbia University and elsewhere, law enforcement is displaying a growing militarization when it's sent in against protesters, according to a criminal justice historian

    The president of College lost a faculty-wide vote of no confidence on Tuesday, as criticism mounts over the school’s response to a pro- 🇵🇸 encampment

    It is the first no confidence vote against a president in the college’s history.

    What will change for academic institutions as the climate crisis is increasingly not some far-off future, but happening now? And are we preparing our students for these uncomfortable conversations?

    Many thanks to @jonippolito for recommending this book by @bryanalexandee ; has given me much food for thought. More ruminations found here: https://rebeccanordquist.edublogs.org/2024/04/29/universities-on-fire/
