✍️ 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...

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!
