I dreaded the trip; the free trip to Northwestern University to give a paid invited lecture. On the first day, Dr. Mary Pat Brady (Cornell University NY) opened the conference with a keynote address entitled, "Scaling Dispossession: Latinx Literature and Gentrification." In her talk, Brady connected numeracy and systems of fiancé to the colonial project of slavery and racial capitalism as a way to discuss a current moment of Latinx literature deeply concerned with gentrification of Latinx neighborhoods.

Class connections As my students and I explored in class, Plessy declared racially separate and "equal" accommodations constitutional.

Driving Diversity "As an educator, I have always talked about the multiplicity of identities, ethnicities and race in my classrooms", Buchanan says.

The use of metrics to track and reward academic research has unintended consequences, according to B Dr. Jo Ann Oravec b , professor in the Information Technology and Supply Chain Management Department in the College of Business and Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Faculty stars, rewarded by gaming and manipulation practices, "are somewhat shielded from the kinds of scrutiny that would inform academic participants and onlookers of what is going on", Oravec observed.

New York University now allows students to list their own pronouns in the registration system, so the pronouns will appear on the class roster. [Extracted from the article]

Use different passwords for different accounts - otherwise, if a password gets leaked on one site, cybercriminals can access all of your accounts. The average cost of a data breach in the education industry is $3.79 million, and the average cost of ransomware attacks in education is estimated at $2.73 million, which is 48% above the global average and the highest among 13 industries, Barthel added.

A Charrette at OPG At OPG, a charrette is a predetermined period (usually a week) during which all employees stop regular operations to dedicate themselves to creating or implementing one innovation for the company. Organizational Performance Group (OPG), my consulting firm, undertook charrettes as an experiment in 2017 and 2018, to test its impact on team creativity, productivity, and staff engagement. To protect each staff member's time during charrette week, while acknowledging that client work at a consulting firm is necessary and ongoing, people check emails and respond to urgent client-related work before 8:30am and after 4:30pm.

I read an article last week about Einstein's first wife, Mileva Mari'c, writing his early publications and doing his calculations for him - apparently, he was actually kind of a weak student in Physics, and almost didn't pass his program. He and Mileva were working on their thesis together - despite the fact that the institution hadn't awarded her a degree, she persisted in the field, and Einstein was determined to finish so he could find work to marry her. Einstein needed to find work before he could marry her, so as the story gleaned from their preserved letters goes, Mileva continued to write articles and allow him to publish them under his name.

The idea of professionalism is even more ingrained in staff culture in higher education. As we return to in-person work, it's an opportunity to support the whole person, which is essential for staff morale and mental health, instead of focusing on what you consider professional or not. It's the work that people with both visible and invisible disabilities do to "mask" their disabilities to both fit in within the social norms (in this case "professionalism").

When I picked up I Rapt: Attention and the Focused Life i (2009) by journalist Winifred Gallagher, I was suffering what many of us have been suffering for a long time - a tremendous overwhelming of the senses.

Gallagher spends a lot of page space quoting psychologists who are white men, and, unfortunately, David Brooks, who disparages "ADD" as though it were a fad. [Extracted from the article]
