✍️ In grad school, @courtneyboen.bsky.social and I talked often about the emotions that seemed to undergird racism. Trayvon, Tamir, Mike Brown and too many more changed us. Ten years later, our findings in @sfjournal.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

Policing shapes who is human and who is not. Check it out
Criminology and criminal justice prof. @k-till.bsky.social researches “punitive inertia,” which describes the everyday occurrences of policing of black people’s bodies to maintain race boundaries, and their response when met with resistance. Read more at @nuglobalnews.bsky.social.
Policing is about more than law enforcement, researcher says, it’s about who gets to be human
Northeastern’s Korey Tillman aims to redefine how people think about policing and its impact on Black motion.

Thank you for the invite bro, it was an honor!!
I just want to thank @k-till.bsky.social for being able to zoom into my Minorities in the CJ System class to talk about his article on coercive benevolence and carceral liberalism. I think students took away a lot!

@ranitaray1.bsky.social dropped some heat! Make sure you get your copy! The MacArthur genius, Reuben Jonathan Miller, author of Halfway Home called it "A beautiful and aching book...will change how you think about education."

I'm excited to get my copy. It's going to the top of my list!

I had my students draw an abolitionist world on the board in Feb. One student added me into the world. Today, that same student added that drawing to the end of their final presentation. I'm weak! I love my students! Look at my profile pic and it will make sense lol

What's wild to me is that academia can still demand the pressures of tenure while folks are getting kidnapped and offered up on a platter by institutions of higher ed
