In little time, Hamilton has been an exceptional mentor who sees and adds value to my work. And her ethnographic & political economic research on higher ed has been instructive! We share interests on racialized equity labor, student debt, predatory inclusion, and more! 5/n

From my vantage point, it appears that universities only concede living wages if/while we work ourselves to death. One of the problems is not that sufficient income is absolutely unattainable.. itโ€™s that the universityโ€™s terms of attaining it will be the death of us. 1/3

#WritingBlackness This morning, I was paraphrasing transcripts with #MAXQDA . I felt like I was onto something, and then remembered that I might have written something long ago that resonates. And I found that early insight in a free write in #OneNote from Feb 2020! ๐Ÿคฉ

This tweet helps me consider the difficulty of "productivity" for Black folk who try to work amidst the racialized suffering of today's killings of Black folk alongside the pandemic... S/o to one of my fav economists @drlisadcook !

This fall, Iโ€™m presenting my research on negative implications of lynchings + other hate-related acts in late 1800โ€™s + early 1900โ€™s. Effects are pernicious + persistent for all, especially African Americans in MS. These acts are still horrible, as is language that promotes them.

#WritingBlackness I had many intentions but am still proud of differentiating #labor from #work . Though it may seem reductive, I settled on work as a subset of labor that involves performing certain duties for compensation. All work is labor but not all labor is work.

Students at UC Berkeleyโ€™s new Gaza solidarity encampment are drawing inspiration from a similar sit-in that happened in the same spot almost 40 years ago. As @Dena reports, that protest helped lead to an end to apartheid in South Africa.
