I have worked on diversity in faculty hiring for several years and have studied racism for decades. I can thus tell you with confidence that the #1 reason Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people are under-represented among faculty is that people on search committees are racist.

I am White. I have studied racism for over 2 decades. I still can't claim to fully understand its impacts. If you are White, you have a lot to learn about racism, even if your spouse/children are non-White, even if you have read several books, even if your best friend is Black.

Writing a book is an iterative, not linear, process. You write a draft, stop, figure out what your argument is, rewrite the manuscript to fit your argument, and then revise your argument to fit your manuscript. Repeat until it works.

I hiked 10 miles in Yosemite today for my birthday. Made it to the top of Nevada Falls. Nature soothes and heals.

@FLImmigrant @CustomsBorder In the video, I only see CBP asking one person. Did CBP ask everyone or was this a targeted stop? It's a tense time and it's better to avoid spreading fear - if unwarranted.

If I do these 4 things every day, I can stay centered even during extremely busy times: 1) Sleep 8 hours. 2) Exercise 30 minutes. 3) Write for 1 hour. 4) Have dinner with my family. What do you need to stay centered?

Requiring job candidates to submit statements of diversity, equity, and inclusion is not an affront to academic freedom. It is a reasonable attempt to gauge their ability to do the job they are being considered for.

I mentioned to my very smart and successful friend that I do not give exams when I teach. She was overwhelmed with emotion for what that would have meant for her as a student. If you require exams, I encourage you to think about why and if there are any alternatives.

Hey teachers/profs! I created a series of 8 short videos for teaching race and racism. I encourage you to check them out, as they may be useful for teaching - either for a race class or a module on race and racism in a more general class.

Steadfastly holding the moral high ground on social distancing won’t diminish the spread of COVID. Pushing for policies that allow people to survive financially without risking COVID infection will.

As a UCSC parent, I am disappointed UCSC has fired 54 graduate students. My daughter's future education will depend on UCSC’s ability to attract stellar graduate students and faculty and this decision will negatively impact that. #COLAStrike

It ain’t over ‘til it’s over. But, today, I am celebrating completing a full draft of my book manuscript and sending it to UC press for review! I have been working on this book manuscript since 2016 and am so looking forward to it being out in the world.

When Black people bought homes in cities in the 1950s, their neighborhoods often became majority-Black as White people fled to the suburbs (which were still off-limits to Black people).

The recent proliferation of the phrase “racial capitalism” among race scholars is good, but race scholars need to actually analyze capitalism not just analyze racism and call it racial capitalism.

I am in 2 Facebook groups designed to share information with parents of college students. Despite the label “parents” only mothers participate in these groups. Another way household labor is clearly gendered.
