New semester and sometimes my cynicism is palpable due to *gestures vaguely at everything*
Yet it also feels like an acutely important moment to help foster empathy, critical thinking, information literacy, and extoll the value of diverse perspectives and organic forms of knowledge. #AcademicSky

One of my favorite things to do on Bluesky is politely lurk while other academic disciplines discuss stuff they're excited about.
E.g., marine biologists and ichthyologists sending cool pictures of fish to each other and being very geeked about it.

Hello #criminology and #criminaljustice folks!
Inspired by the BookSky horde, I'd love to hear about supplemental texts you have successfully utilized in your courses.
I have been using Rios' Punished (2011) for a few different classes and found that it resonates strongly with my students!

A year ago, Bluesky didn't really have the numbers to be a viable social media platform, and it fizzled out for me. So glad to come back and see so many rad people doing important work. <3
