This is one of four excellent articles intended for use in the classroom. The others in that special issue focus on decolonial, phenomenological, and critical participatory action research. They are student-friendly and historically embedded descriptions that make clear how to do each one well!

I continue to be horrified that he acts with overt cruelty, impunity, and immaturity and that we struggle to stand up to him in the moment or to hold him accountable after. Where is the video of this moment? Why isn't it everywhere?
I'm not surprised that Trump said "Quiet, Piggy" when an unnamed woman in the White House Press Corp asked him if there's anything incriminating in the Epstein files, and my lack of surprise is because he's a misogynistic dickwad.

We publish so many phenomenal articles in Qualitative Psychology, but this is one that really touched my heart... It is scholarship-activism in action and I wanted to post it today when so many people have acted to reject anti-trans legislation. It affirms this caring.

When the government moves to punish those who say things that are offensive to the feelings of the government, that is a crystal clear violation of First Amendment protections. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is asking you to give up your own First Amendment protections.

Trump is launching a full blown attack on free speech while his harem of billionaires buys up every media platform. This is no coincidence. It’s a coordinated attack on your fundamental right to speak freely without worrying if you’ll lose your job or worse.

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.
And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

1. Earlier this year, Trump erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument webpage, digitally burning the history we helped create.
Now, he's doing the same to bisexual people.
