Stoked to see that one of the student-created books being written in English classes at our local currently has a 5 star rating on MERLOT… from someone very much out-of-state!

I flunked out of college. Twice, actually. I've carried around that shame for two decades. Having the chance to try again has been nothing short of life-changing, and the validation of being one of the folks in this article is just the icing on the cake. I feel like I'm not just getting rid of old baggage, but also setting it on fire and dancing around the blaze. templejc.edu/live/news/817-tem

15 minute recorded presentation for Federal Government class due tonight and my brain just. won't. go.
Stay in school and do this when you're young enough to have energy, y'all.

@AlSolano I spent time digging into our success data for Black students in our English sequence and found that while Black students were less successful that any other racial/ethnic group in developmental English and Comp 1, they Black students who make it to Comp 2 are the most successful of any group. It's an informal study, but confirms that it's the system and environment that's broken, not the students. @edutooters

This here Fediverse has my mind thinking about conjunctural analyses. So here's my narrative careen, with hastags.

I went to for a BA & MA in English. There my fellow students & instructors showed me how a influenced rhet-comp can be liberatory (+ why it's necessary but insufficient).

From there, I went to a VCS program in Upstate NY. After pursuing more & I received an MA (implied cluster of footnotes here), adjuncted a bit, then went on to .

From 2015 to 2022 I was a , mostly focused on instruction with critical & more general approaches, along with & . I also started a part-time PhD program in English & the Teaching of English.

Now I'm an at ISU. I'm trying to weave in & / systems thinking, plus working on my diss project on informatics/info systems in post-1945 US novels & media.

I joined Mastodon to see what it was all about and I'm digging it. My bird app lists were pretty carefully curated, so it'll take some time to get that going over here, but I'm also excited about the opportunity to find new folx with whom to engage.
