Salt of the Earth (1954) Last year i had a lil mini-marathon of Worker's Rights movies for Labor Day, starting with this one, Salt of the Earth from 1954. A fascinating, under-known, and crazily prescient movie that doesn't get enough love. Salt of the Earth begins by telling the story of a miner's strike. Despite being pro-worker's rights and, often, Socialists, racial and gender politics were still messed up, and this movie delves into it all. First the men miners were forbidden from picketing through a legal loophole but the women were under no such obligation, so they took up the mantle of the picket line. Along the way, they also start advocating for the rights of Mexican and Mexican-American workers who weren't paid as much and lived in far poorer conditions than their white counterparts. The making of the movie is even more fascinating than the film itself. First off, it features almost no trained actors. Secondly, it's one of the few movies that was outright banned in the United States, coming out during the height of McCarthyist fervour. The actors and crew themselves were even harassed by local law enforcement, with some of the actors being deported and others arrested, while cops did everything in their power to ruin the filming. It's a fabulous film which i highly recommend! And let this serve as yr regular reminder that we need to work together to ensure a fair and just life FOR EVERYBODY, that we may stem the ever-widening chasm of inequality and ensure a life of dignity and respect, which we all deserve. Happy Labor Day, dear comrades. солидарность!

🔸 Happy May Day! In 1907, dancing and flowers and a Maypole were involved in May Day celebrations. For millennia before, the Celts celebrated Beltane which was the holiest day of the year. In the 19th century, it became International Workers Day. 🔸victorianchap #oldphoto #goodolddays #retro# 1900s #mayday #vintage #edwardian #fashion #nostalgia #victorian #workersoftheworldunite https://www.instagram.com/p/B_uOnncg-UU/?igshid=m3hcqpvz8k3w

A letter to my students as they enter my classroom each semester. From a sociologist.
College (or university) is not a means to an end. It is an opportunity to grow intellectually such that you have the intellectual, personal, and social skills to succeed in a professional environment upon graduation. What this means is that college is not a means to an end nor does college serve the purpose of job training. Job training is the purpose of vocational schools. University education serves students in a different capacity. It serves to elevate intellectual capacities, to allow time to reflect on various fields of inquiry, engage with different approaches to knowledge, and to develop as a person through exposure to diversity of thought. The education one receives in a college or university is very much a space of social exclusion based on race, class, and gender (among other axes of inequality and privilege). The costs of attendance at university are prohibitive for the majority of this country’s people and even more so for people of other countries. The United States has one of the highest costs of university education in the world. It is a privilege to attend university and you should take every opportunity available to you.
Being a student is your job. It is a form of work you signed up for. You should view yourself as an employee in the classroom. Treat the classroom like a workplace. Most students are taking on incredible amounts of debt—a form of negative income that you will work for a wage for years, if not a lifetime, to pay off. You are not a customer of the university. Customers can do whatever they want with the products they buy. As a student and employee of the classroom, you are gaining a skill set denied to most of the worlds people and in not embracing the opportunity you diminish the quality of the institution you attend and the institution of higher education. Wage-paying employers do not want uneducated customers turned employees, they want professionalized individuals with the skills to help their business succeed.
Developing the intellectual skills required in the waged workplace requires you go through a period of learning where you earn a negative wage (debt) that is intended to prepare you for an income-based job. Bridging your time as student in the required public education system (or privately acquired public education as the case may be) is the college experience. You have much more freedom in college. You are free to choose to go to class, to use electronics, to go to the bathroom. These freedoms are important but as the axiom goes: with freedom comes responsibility. Show respect for yourself, peers, and the professor by not using electronics in the classroom, except when asked. Remove headphones, avoid consuming food, and spend time thinking about the subject prior to arriving in the classroom. You are responsible for your education. Your final grade in this course will be interpreted through the education-is-a-job frame of thought wherein you are evaluated based upon your ability to adhere to professional standards associated with classroom conduct. This breaks down into social and intellectual components. It means coming to class on time, prepared to discuss course readings, having done independent research as necessary, having identified difficult concepts and ideas, prepared with a discussion question, able to identify important points, and with a personal reflection on the subject matter under investigation.
My classroom is a communist space. You have power over your learning, individually and as a group. I seek to create a learning community, where diverse voices have the opportunity to express themselves. Even so, if you are advocating oppression—tacit or explicit—and someone calls you out, accept the critique with poise and grace. Avoid defensive behaviors or assigning blame. Your voice matters. If you think something is worth spending time in discussion, be prepared to explain what that point is and how you understand it. Bring a question to get students thinking about that point. I am a guide, a facilitator of your learning. This is how I teach. I do not have dominance over knowledge; I am an authority in my field of expertise. I can help you understand that material and the data behind a sociological analysis but I cannot dictate how you understand or interpret sociological data. If you want to change the trajectory of the course by delving deeper into a certain subject, bring it up to the class so that as a community we can determine whether that is the best course of action for your learning. As facilitator of your learning, I am open to altering the course structure in ways that better serve student interest and ability.
Intellectual honesty is a virtue. It must be buttressed by expertise over the subject matter, an understanding of diverse perspectives, and effective communication. Knowing your audience in the immediate but also respective of the diversity that exists in society broadly is important to effective communication. Being precise in your use of terms demonstrates clarity of thought and helps others understand you. Make use of theoretical concepts as appropriate. Some concepts are intended to frame how we think about the subject matter, other concepts are intended to be used in the course of conversation. Professionalism in the classroom means acknowledging your colleagues, addressing your colleagues, and not exclusively relying on affirmations from the professor. You are bright people! If you are misguided and colleagues do not correct a misinterpretation I will interject. Do not assume you are wrong. Do not engage in self-deprecations. Study to the extent that you are confident in your abilities. Discuss ideas in class to deepen your understanding of concepts and ideas that you are less confident with.
As a student in a sociology course, you are expected to practice the discipline of sociology through your ability to communicate the subject matter in the professional context of the classroom. Sociology is not a course rooted in the memorization of facts. Many sciences rely on the memorization of facts and inserting data into formulas for several years before they introduce the rigors of analytical thinking necessary for data interpretation. Sociology utilizes facts for analytical thinking from the start. Data is important, facts are important. The foci of sociological analysis are meanings, practices, characteristics, qualities, and behaviors. These can be researched using qualitative or quantitative methods. The profession of sociology thus utilizes empirical data collected with the intention of demonstrating the existence of phenomena (the more quantitative side of sociology) and explaining why it exists in the way it does (the qualitative side of sociology). As with all academic scientists, sociologists are subject to peer-review which maintains the professional standards of the discipline. In the classroom, peer-review manifests as collective engagement with course materials as we work through the information and develop a critical understanding of the social world.
