Production meeting for @academicaunties will be happening in thirty minutes! Excited to plan this season, starting with episode 40 (!!!)!

I finally got my author's copies of "Care activism"! This book looks at migrant domestic worker activism, arguing that migrant domestic workers sought not only policy changes & material improvements to their lives but also created spaces of care for each other and their families. This book took me from 2009 to 2020 to write & covers activism in Canada and in transnational spaces!

Anyone else creating their syllabi? Teaching for the first time the PhD core class in Canadian Politics & this resource by the Reconciliation committee at CPSA has been so important in providing readings on #Indigenous politics: https://cpsa-acsp.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Indigenous-Content-Syllabus-Materials-November-27-2019.pdf #teaching

The fact that the British museum is doubling down and refusing to appropriately recognize Yilin Wang's work is infuriating. We need to #namethetranslator!
