New article out today! Would love to hear your thoughts about how we can meaningfully disrupt white supremacy in teacher education (and the neoliberal university broadly!)

Also, connect with friends who graduated before you and landed jobs. Ask about their application process, but also about their daily lives. How many hours do they work per week? How much time is research vs. teaching vs. service? Do they have friends? Are they happy? Would you be happy in that role?
Start dreaming of the life you want after grad school. Be clear about what (R1, R2, SLAC, alt-academia), where, and with whom you'd like to work -- and what/where/with whom you really DON'T want to be. This will prevent you from applying to a bunch of jobs you don't actually want!

“There is no way to put your head down and survive this moment,” says Palestinian scholar Noura Erakat. "The only way to protect yourself is to protest in this moment. Your silence will be a target, not a shield."

I love @schooldaves.bsky.social's newsletter, especially this week's. He discusses Trump's threats to revoke federal funding to universities, and why they would be near impossible to carry out. Great examples of meaningful resistance and how not to comply in advance: buttondown.com/davidibacker...
"This is not incidental; sowing the seeds of chaos and accumulated despair is part of the president’s fascist agenda. We are afraid, and as a result, the imminent threat of violence forecloses our ability to imagine. And yet, as soon as we cede the territory of the imagination, we’ve already lost."
"Every headline, every urgent text and furtive conversation and terrifying social media post comes with an insidious whisper lurking in the back of your mind. Give up, it says. Give in. Let go."
