Academic associations: when you are looking for graduate students to do work for a conference, perhaps don't offer an honorarium equivalent to less than minimum wage in 12 out of 13 provinces and territories.

That's not even counting the unknown (uncompensated?) time for the mandatory orientation session.

big day. two presentations down at #OTESSA23, one #CSSE talk left to give. proud of my grad RA team & happy to be here with them.

here are the slides from my OTESSA invited talk, Digital Ed in an Age of Data: What Do We Do NOW?

it's built on my #OER23 talk from April but includes AI - & the hype cycle & gold rush it has generated - in its literacies lens. SPOILER: it has zero answers. but i think it raises a call for change & offers some paths i'm taking :)

the idea of 'modesty' as hegemonic heteropatriarchy, clothing as small acts of resistance.

fabulous #CSSE presentation by Melissa Keehn on how high school dress codes impact queer & trans youth, against the backdrop that schools in NB are increasingly anti-queer, anti-gay, & anti-trans.

policies are full of gender/sexuality biases & queer visibility is coded as deviance.
