Last week, with two extraordinary colleagues, Lisa Dickson and @drjessicariddell.bsky.social , we celebrated the power of theatre with our students for a week at @stratfest.bsky.social. We watched three tyrants rant and harm and fail: Leontes, Duke Frederick, and Macbeth. And we saw the reactions.

The more intimate sessions broaden out to two large events. The first a keynote & workshop by Deanne Bell on the ruse of inclusivity in education discourse. The second a hope summit with @drjessicariddell.bsky.social featuring a range of perspectives on how to rewire higher Ed for human flourishing.

I’m writing an article for AAC&U magazine Liberal Education and I keep coming back to attentiveness. We must pay attention - and be intentional about where and how we focus our energy within systems designed to distract us. We REALLY need to pay attention to people as acts of radical humanization

I was in Boston at the CASE conference w/ 420 advancement folks where I talked about the difference between patrons & donors. While donors give money, patrons spend political + social capital. Right now, we need both as higher ed comes under fire. Champions, advocates, sponsors, defenders: Let’s go
