Had my Intro students take what we learned about theories of social movements and apply it to issues, causes, and concerns they have.

Really interesting to learn about their worries (mostly housing and parking!)

Today in our social theory seminar, my students and I did some concept mapping of Hardt and Negri’s Empire, Pts I and II.

With all the “will he, won’t he” rumors swirling around our football coach, just here to say no college football coach should be paid millions of dollars per year while full-time workers at the University struggle to pay rent.

In this Washington Post editorial, the board begins with Jim Ryan’s claim that the DOJ threatened to block “hundreds of millions of dollars in funding” if Ryan didn’t resign. They follow that with, “College campuses have become epicenters of left-wing excess.”

Friends and colleagues,
Please encourage your undergraduate students to apply for our 3rd annual summer REU program centered on the interdisciplinary study of race, power, and the politics of place, all set within the context of the dynamic and vibrant American South.

Volume 11, Issue 4 of SRE. End of an era, as this issue brings to a close our run as co-editors.

Honor of a lifetime. The journal and the field are in excellent shape going forward.

Onward.

Thankful for the students who organized last night’s event to counter the JDVance/Turning Point White nationalist rally on our campus.

Our campus will not be your staging ground for fascism.
