Looking beyond the fact that I am seething with rage, this is the time to nurture and develop community-based dual language / heritage language education programs. Resist erasure and forced assimilation. Maintain and grow your heritage language(s), and support the growth of others.
Getting informal reports that as part of the mass layoffs at the Department of Education, the International and Foreign Language Education (IFLE) Office has been "abolished."

I'll share what I conveyed to a grad student recently:
There is much that remains unknown and out of our control right now. The future is extremely uncertain. Multiple job markets have already imploded. Focus on what you can control. Can you finish the dissertation? Then finish the dissertation.

Also them: How can we make college almost completely inaccessible?
It's already near-impossible for many to afford undergrad, and many work multiple jobs to survive grad school (I was in a STEM program and could only live comfortably by working part-time at a winery!). This would make universities spaces solely for the wealthy. This cannot pass. #AcademicSky ⚗️
Tucked into a long list of programs and tax breaks that Republican lawmakers are considering cutting, to help pay for extending tax cuts that largely benefit wealthier families is a proposal to make scholarships and grants fully taxable.

I have a feeling that the next several months are going to be major for me within my doctoral student journey. Is there a word for being both excited and yet nervous about what’s to come without implying a negative feeling? Maybe aufgeregt sein? I’m gonna go with that. Ich bin aufgeregt!

What's true: There are dozens of new state laws attempting to control the curriculum. Trump has said he will bring this approach to the federal level. What's also true: Social studies teachers are often able to ignore, soft-pedal or even subvert these limitations: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/20/u...
