I’ve had great success using Perusall for collaborative annotations. Students were mixed in liking/disliking it, but there was consensus about its positive impact.

The Practice of Ungrading Ungrading inspects the inequities of schooling, asks hard questions of the structures of our schools, and offers a critique of the labor conditions for teachers at all levels of education.

Can we do assessment differently, in ways that increase access, support greater inclusion, improve learning outcomes, and enhance the experience of teaching and learning?

Wide-eyed woman stares off screen. Frame from Cemetery of Splendor.

My piece draws from an ungraded assignment for a course on International Cinema at @comatbu.bsky.social, for which I asked students to curate a film festival that challenged traditional film canons.

Taught @brunoguarana.bsky.social 's interview with Lynn Spigel from @filmquarterly.bsky.social again yesterday. What a great, teachable text that gives students new ways to think about TV history! Also a fine example of the academic interview genre.

I love MFA Boston's relatively new Center for Netherlandish Art because they don't shy away from the history of Dutch slavery and colonialism.

For example, the gallery of still-lifes has map & ledgers of the Atlantic trade routes and ugly truth of the sweets and "exotic" fruits in the paintings.
