America is not pro-life and I've never known this more than through my experiences as a parent. If they wanted more babies, they would do the obvious like address maternal mortality, parental leave, child hunger, etc. 1/x

Allison Lombardi@allisonlombardi.bsky.social · 3y agoWhat are the unique needs of disabled grad students? Our exploratory study shows Disability Services be inadequate. Over half of our sample chose not to disclose due to lack of awareness and fear of stigma from other academics: osf.io/fqxey/

We argue that this is a misleading question. Why? See ⬇️ or read www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

No one is running opposed in my small town and it hurts 🫠

Now that it's job market season again Could hiring committees PLEASE recognize how It reinforces inequality to require grad students to pay for their market travel upfront? Unless they have rich parents they are ILLIQUID and this is SUPER STRESSFUL
