But as a longtime researcher in cognitive science and linguistics, I bring a perspective from these sciences to an understanding of the Trump phenomenon. This perspective is hardly unknown. More that half a million people have read my books, and Google Scholar reports that scholars writing in scholarly journals have cited my works well over 100,000 times. Yet you will probably not read what I have to say in the NY Times, nor hear it from your favorite political commentators.

But keeping self and writing apart is hard because publication thrusts performative anxieties into what should be a practice space.

Literatures, a broad term covering anything from the scholarly works to popular texts, social and print media and policy texts...

“So, without further ado, let me share what I have learned about how research gets into Parliament.”

“Yes, I do schedule self-care every day (I go out with my friends, with my parents, I schedule naps). But even daily self-care isn’t enough in academic life. Because it’s not a job that is 9 am to 5pm, as most jobs would be. In academic life, you are on 24/7. Your brain is always thinking about your research (at least, mine is).”

The holidays are a busy time—but many of us also paradoxically read more this time of year, thanks to travel, time off, and a slowed-down inbox. If you’re looking for your next big read or a gift for a food-minded friend, look no further. We asked our editors and contributors to recommend some of the books they enjoyed... Read More

“Homework assumes that the student has a safe and quiet place to do it in. @Jessifer @audreywatters #nwelearn”

#culturally relevant assessment #culturally defensible assessment #homework #pedagogy

I haven’t read the book yet, but I would love to see some real discussion of the importance of the unwritten cultural aspects of class in higher ed -- unfortunately this interview suggests that this book focuses on individual choice and easily countable things like “extracurriculars” and “connections” without really digging into it beyond that.
