The first paragraph was a facetious telling of the Neoliberal position– a type of insouciance I feel Rodríguez is responding to. Perhaps the idea of de-colonizing does not exist in the neoliberal […]

I absolutely agree with your skepticism of being Harvard-centric, and I wonder (although maybe this is optimistic) if Harvard were less Harvard-like, if we’d speak about it less. Are we all just in […]

I love your response and agree with your points about PR and the emotional labor forced on faculty to increase diversity initiatives at a school-based on White Supremacy.

I am interested in your […]

Thank you! I think sometimes when we consider schooling, we forget the fact that it’s made of people with hopes, dreams, and goals. I don’t think it’s naive to think people who go into teaching, […]

I liked how you connected Cottom’s idea of the “education gospel” into your analysis of this week’s readings. It’s certainly true that the advocation of school being in person, or having a streamlined […]
