Every single professor or instructor of record or TA in higher education needs to start handing out way more 0s when students bullshit their way through an assignment. The "you get 50% for turning something in" asinine standard enables fascism. Do it for Mel, & for all our sake
Join us for the People's Special Meeting to discuss what BDS and solidarity should look like in the AAG!
What is the history of member-driven change in the AAG? Our archival research has shown that member-driven political activity has been common in AAG's history, including struggles around the Equal Rights Amendment; the US funding of contras in Nicaragua; and nuclear proliferation and war.
How have geographers, geography departments, and geographic thought been affected by Israel?
Re-appearing to ask a niche question: in 2015 Sara Ahmed wrote "Against Students," in which the "complaining" or "censorious" student was mostly left-wing/feminist. But now the largest % of student complaints are "against woke" -- any reading recs on that? thenewinquiry.com/against-stud...
Against Students
Complaining, censorious, and over-sensitive, university students are destroying their own institutions. Wait, seriously? People think that?

The other week I found myself telling my students Capital Vol 1 starts at the end but ends at the beginning, and using sweaters/"the sweaterizer" machine as my commodity metaphor. That's all Jclo. He lives on in many ways big & small but, I'll hold this small one with particular fondness.
