    "For the more than seven million people in California's Bay Area living through historic wildfires, it's been hard to breathe for the past month. For 29 days the region has been under a "Spare the Air" alert, which means inhaling outdoor air presents a health hazard. Air quality is even worse in Oregon and Washington, and by this morning smoke had stretched all the way to the East Coast and even to Europe. Wildfire smoke contains a variety of gases and particles from the materials that fuel the fire, including ozone, carbon monoxide, polycyclic aromatic compounds, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter-pollutants linked to respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses, according to a study in the Journal of the American Heart Association."

    Recommended by Sheri-Lynn Kurisu "The ideas captured on this website, very much a work in progress, have been developed to support White people to act for racial justice. It draws from ideas and resources developed mostly by Black, Brown and People of Color, and has been edited by Black, Brown, and People of Color.  I recognize that categorizing actions under the labels of Actor, Ally, and Accomplice is an oversimplification, but hopefully this chart challenges all of us White folks to go outside of our comfort zones, take some bigger risks, and make some more significant sacrifices because this is what we've been asked to do by those most impacted by racism, colonialism, patriarchy, white supremacy, xenophobia, and hyper-capitalism. I believe that for real change to occur, we must confront and challenge all people, policies, systems, etc., that maintain privileges and power for White people."

    "Now more than ever, it's important to look boldly at the reality of race and gender bias -- and understand how the two can combine to create even more harm. Kimberlé Crenshaw uses the term "intersectionality" to describe this phenomenon; as she says, if you're standing in the path of multiple forms of exclusion, you're likely to get hit by both. In this moving talk, she calls on us to bear witness to this reality and speak up for victims of prejudice."

Intersectionality, explained: meet Kimberlé Crenshaw, who coined the term - Vox - 1 views

shared by Dennis OConnor on 25 Sep 20 - No Cached
  • The current debate over intersectionality is really three debates: one based on what academics like Crenshaw actually mean by the term, one based on how activists seeking to eliminate disparities between groups have interpreted the term, and a third on how some conservatives are responding to its use by those activists.
  • the American legal and socioeconomic order was largely built on racism.
  • Crenshaw argued that the court’s narrow view of discrimination was a prime example of the “conceptual limitations of ... single-issue analyses” regarding how the law considers both racism and sexism.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Judge Harris Wangelin ruled against the plaintiffs, writing in part that “black women” could not be considered a separate, protected class within the law, or else it would risk opening a “Pandora’s box” of minorities who would demand to be heard in the la
  • Crenshaw’s theory went mainstream, arriving in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2015 and gaining widespread attention during the 2017 Women’s March,
  • “What was puzzling is that usually with ideas that people take seriously, they actually try to master them, or at least try to read the sources that they are citing for the proposition. Often, that doesn’t happen with intersectionality
  • Beginning in 2015 and escalating ever since, the conservative response to intersectionality has ranged from mild amusement to outright horror.
  • When you talk to conservatives about the term itself, however, they’re more measured. They say the concept of intersectionality — the idea that people experience discrimination differently depending on their overlapping identities — isn’t the problem.
  • the idea is more or less indisputable.
  • What many conservatives object to is not the term but its application on college campuses and beyond.
  • “Where the fight begins,” French said, “is when intersectionality moves from descriptive to prescriptive.”
  • “There have always been people, from the very beginning of the civil rights movement, who had denounced the creation of equality rights on the grounds that it takes something away from them.”
  • To Crenshaw, the most common critiques of intersectionality — that the theory represents a “new caste system” — are actually affirmations of the theory’s fundamental truth: that individuals have individual identities that intersect in ways that impact how they are viewed, understood, and treated.
  • But Crenshaw said that contrary to her critics’ objections, intersectionality isn’t “an effort to create the world in an inverted image of what it is now.” Rather, she said, the point of intersectionality is to make room “for more advocacy and remedial practices” to create a more egalitarian system.
  • She wants to get rid of those existing power dynamics altogether — changing the very structures that undergird our politics, law, and culture in order to level the playing field.
  • efforts to eliminate gender disparities would require examining how women of color experience gender bias differently from white women (and how nonwhite men do too, compared to white men).
  • Once we acknowledge the role of race and racism, what do we do about it? And who should be responsible for addressing racism, anyway?

On Teaching: Learning From Black Educators - The Atlantic - 0 views

shared by Dennis OConnor on 23 Sep 20 - No Cached
  • “You need a sincere love for children,” Grenell liked to remind Moore. “Never give up on a child.”
  • firm and demanding, but also warm and encouraging.
  • She was named Mississippi Teacher of the Year in 2001 and won the prestigious Milken Award.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Students will go to great lengths to hide from me what they don’t know.
  • I do that very intentionally at the beginning of the semester to signal: “I see you as a human being. I’m paying attention to what you say to me. You are a unique individual with skills and ideas that matter.”
  • That’s important, because a lot of students have told me that no one’s ever actually read what they wrote. What they mean by that is that their writing has been graded, but it’s never been read.
  • Then, at the end of the semester, I give them the introduction letter back. And the final exam is an essay where they have to reflect on their portfolio: all of the written pieces they produced in the course of the semester.
  • they’re not used to measuring it in terms of actual skills and knowledge. They're always stunned at how far they’ve come.
  • The students have been so used to having their grammar criticized that they over-censor themselves when they’re writing.
  • The message was always, “When you go to college.” It was always, “You can do it.
  • “You get educated for the benefit of the community and the race.”
  • Today we have wasted a generation, telling young people that the primary reason to pursue education is to get into a well-paying career. In rural or economically depressed areas like Delta, looking at education chiefly as a path to social mobility—rather than a path to full citizenship, one’s sense of agency and freedom—can actually depress achievement and increase hopelessness. B
  • By attaching the dreams and aspirations of African American students to a higher good, their expectations are infused with a meaningful purpose.
  • For a lot of the kids now, school is just drudgery from beginning to end—particularly schools that serve poor Black students. There’s no music curriculum, no arts curriculum, no vocational classes.
  • They congratulated me, because I was going to Washington, D.C., to receive the award. These women had taken up money among themselves, put it in a handkerchief, tied it, and handed it to me, as a way to celebrate that I was going to see the president—and represent Black people in a society that questions Black intelligence. I cried. They cried. It was the most touching thing.
  • I am a reflection of the accumulated wisdom these teachers passed on to me. All of these great teachers who had preceded me, who taught in segregated schools under horrible conditions, with no equal pay.

  • I hear the term synchronous learning in education a lot to refer to Zoom calls where the teacher is on with a class of students and they’re learning live. But synchronous might not be so synchronous after all?

  • We agreed not to have our cameras on anymore. And it was pretty amazing. Just that little thing. We started reporting to each other that we weren’t as tired after the Zooms.
  • So when you do a Zoom call, you’re automatically drawn to those smiling faces, but you need to really be looking at your camera.
