Today is Sámi National Day throughout Sápmi – the Sámi homelands. ⬇️ I discuss Sámi struggles for rights in the Nordic states, ongoing truth-telling, backlash and 'history wars', how the education sector can play a key role.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Hey #academicsky any #advice on whether or not to negotiate book royalty % with publishers? Do you bother? Or is it all so negligible anyway as to be not worth the hassle? Advice appreciated! #academia #publishing

My entry in the Palgrave Encyclopedia of Sexuality education has been published - in it I briefly discuss social media as a site of informal sexuality education for trans and nonbinary youth, and how we might understand it as legitimate pedagogy 🌈🎓
