I joined the editorial team of an amazing journal committed to equity work. I'm surprised and disappointed: assistant professors say yes to reviews, and associate and full professors decline or don’t respond. Everyone is busy. But if you’ve climbed the academic ladder, steady it for others.

I just donated to Pasadena Humane Society in honor of my best buddy, Kozmo who passed last March. If you have the means, see if you can help too, as they support those who can't evacuate with their four-legged family members!

I miss you, Koz!

My latest on the lie that won't die, and why we're still talking about autism and vaccines.

Tracing the history back to "refrigerator mothers," I argue that to answer this question, we have to grapple with our culture of mother-burden and mother-blame.

Can the the "math warriors" lay their weapons down? Rachel McClam and I wax poetic in this Kappan piece.

Thanks @clconaway.bsky.social and EdResearch for Action for encouraging me to branch out and coauthor this piece!

I'd been meaning to read Sami Schalk for a while — Black Disability Politics is a really sharp, intersectional analysis: stefanicox.substack.com/p/7-black-fe... #BlackSky

Now more than ever, we need to rethink how to make schools safe, healthy, and inclusive. My colleagues just came out with a must-read book on the topic #EduSky

If you haven't read The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates...what are you doing? Go read it.

"What we were being taught was less a body of knowledge than a way to be in the world..."

What happened after California banned suspensions for willful defiance in grades K-3?

Short answer: suspensions didn't decline faster than they already had been, and large disparities by race/SES/IEP remained.

Longer answer: read the newest Learning Curve essay! www.urban.org/research/pub...

Hi! Just wanted to introduce myself. I’m a special ed prof primarily interested in literacy for multiply marginalized students with dis/abilities. I spend most of my free time with family, watching TV, or reading. Happy to see both new and familiar faces over here and hoping to post more!

My latest, for the Mississippi Free Press: Project 2025 Provides a Blueprint for the Return of ‘Separate and Unequal’ Schools

Neurotribes, by @stevesilberman.bsky.social was my first introduction to challenging normative assumptions about disability. His work was deeply transformative for me and he leaves behind a powerful legacy.

My colleagues and I are working on a special issue in Behavioral Disorders, looking at critical perspectives for understanding and addressing disproportionality in behavior-based outcomes. Abstracts are due 6/30

Just signed my first book contract! I guess now I have to go write the book. Friends, what are your best tips and tools?

Two years ago @drthema posted something I've read every day since:
May stillness find you. 
May ease flow toward you. 
May you give yourself the gift of boundaries. 
When you get pulled in a million directions, may you discover the gift of cutting strings.
I will read it again every day in 2024
