Powerful, inspiring new book by Adriana Aldana, Counterstory Pedagogy: Student Letters of Resilience, Healing, and Resistance. This (open access/free) book (to quote book site) introduces "a tool to challenge dominant cultural narratives & amplify marginalized voices in HE" doi.org/10.36284/cel...
Counterstory Pedagogy
Counterstory Pedagogy showcases the richness of experiences and self-reflection that result from engaging students in counterstory letter writing.

This is a fascinating read, and the authors are clear about the limitations of what they're able to discern. Still, lots to chew on. www.science.org/content/arti...

I've been thinking about a post a fellow librarian did about executive function theft since she posted it. (hedgehoglibrarian.com/2023/08/14/e...)

And the ways she points out that someone not doing that work dumps it on someone else, as well as all the places it doesn't actually need to exist.

After a few years of grieving the academic community I lost when tw*tter collapsed, I'm so excited to have found a new place to build connections and learning.

Hi! 👋 I'm Sophia. I'm interested in co-creation and partnership in higher ed, faculty development, SoTL, and feminist pedagogy!
