For every day I spend systematically answering e-mails, I leave dozens of books unread.

I already have an email policy in my syllabus, which says that I prefer to answer questions in class, since we see each other several days a week.
What other tips do you have that have worked for you?

I'm working on an academic book and need some help. I need to translate some Russian passages into English. My publisher does not allow the use of computer tools to do this, it must be done by a human. I'm not being paid for this work, so unfortunately don't have any budget to pay for this, but you would certainly be acknowledged. Please let me know if you help! @academicchatter

@jjsylvia @academicchatter have you tried already to contact Russian language departments?

Today I have been notified that I am the recipient of a $10,000 grant. The American Council of Learned Societies award was very competitive (more than 150 proposals).
My research project will analyze the (mis)representation of Black bodies in Spanish museum iconography.

I am pleased to share that this Thursday, February 22 I will be speaking at Anne Arundel Community College (Baltimore, MD) on how to promote Language Justice in the curriculum. One of my students will also be participating to talk about empowering communities to speak their own language. @academicchatter

Would any of you like to share an article with me?
I would like to read this one: "Genomic Analysis of the Individuals from El Mirador Cave", but all my access doors are closed.
Once I get it, I will delete this post. If you still can read it, I have not received it yet. Appreciate it.

The Politics of Rage: Outlines Towards an Affective and Feminist Theory.
In this lecture, Dr. Ana María Miranda Mora will explore the role of rage in feminist movements in Latin America. She will analyze and present
some elements for formulating an effective feminist theory of rage understood as a political emotion. The aim is to explore how rage and indignation are transformed into political action.

From a survey of @penn_state : "72% …reported they had not purchased a course’s required , and 33% said they had not registered for a specific course because of its cost of required course materials. In addition, 33% said they had earned a poor grade because they couldn’t afford to purchase a course textbook, and 17% dropped a course because of the cost of materials required for the course."

@petersuber @penn_state @academicchatter This is why I wrote my own textbook for my Spanish class. It is for free for them and they all have access before and after the course starts. It took me some time to write it, for sure, but it is great to feel that you do not collaborate with the rotten textbook system.

Hey, academics! What'a news story about your school or field or both that you think more people need to know about? Can be breaking news or ongoing news.

Let's share and elevate each other's discoveries, research, whistleblowing, and other news!

Reply below with links if you have them:

@DrOinFLA @ml @academicchatter that is systemic racism.

Happy to share that today I received the Instructional Innovator of the Year trophy at Morgan State University.

I guess my work with virtual language exchanges and open educational resources have also contributed to this award.

I am excited about it as this is only my third year at Morgan. I wanted to share my happiness with you. @academicchatter

How is it possible that books entitled "Decolonising Curriculum Knowledge" or "Decolonial perspectives in international education" are protected under a prohibitive paywall for students, the community and many researchers? If you really want to decolonize knowledge, use . @academicchatter @hello

@j @academicchatter @hello I agree. It is very important to remind this in a global context. The scholars that published those books are based in theUS.

All the privileges we have here should be used to expand decolonial thought and not to boost private gatekeepers.

@academicchatter Excluding Black feminist thinkers while talking about Black feminism is problematic and misleading since it suggests an uncritical approach to the theme and naturalizes a lack of thinking or idea-generating skills within the Black scholarly production.

@StephanieMoore @academicchatter Hi, Stephanie! Some universities require a number of published works for each career segment. If a faculty member has more than the required number of publications, it is possible that the extra publications may not weigh in the balance and therefore have little or no value in the evaluation rubric.

@jjsylvia @academicchatter Yes, J. J., the work time for each article has been subtracted from family and social life. Now that I have completed the requirements, I think it's time to spend more time with loved ones, something crazy like one Sunday per week.

@JeffreyJDean @hello @academicchatter yes! This sounds better. Thank you for clarifying my doubt, Jeffrey!
