Congrats! It is great to see that someone doing liberatory work was recognized for their social impact.
I'm grateful to have been awarded the Institute for the Study of Societal Issues Thomas I. Yamashita Prize! They award a "person whose work transforms the existing social landscape - often in subtle and previously unappreciated ways - and serves as a bridge between the academy and the community.”

When people ask me why I don't care about my h-index, citations, etc., I point out that racism means that's a losing game. Cause this ain't just in economics.

When I travelled to Cuba in 2005, people there told me that they felt that we were not free, and oppressed by $$, propaganda and our “democracy”. Our “democracy” is one where $$ is speech and a corporation has the same rights as a person… and where Californians can vote to continue slavery.
Just because a country is considered a “democracy” doesn’t mean it is immune to committing crimes against humanity. Look at what the US has done and continues to do domestically and throughout the world

I wonder too. 🤔
I wonder how many other universities deployed the term “anti-racist” in their policy statements before replacing it with the much more tepid and corporate friendly “DEI” once they got around to actually reading Ibram X. Kendi’s Stamped from the Beginning

The Democratic Party is an active participant in genocide. What does that make its supporters?
