Friends, the mathematics department @hmc.edu is looking to hire a new tenure-track operations researcher who would feel at home in our department. Please spread the word: math.hmc.edu/tenure-track...

People who teach in the mathematical sciences, please look at this open letter to modernize our field and consider lending your voice. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Sorry for the dreadfully slow reply. This is for a climate change (California Wildfire) course that I co-teach with colleagues.

Ph.D. students Devan Mackenzie and Hajra Fayyaz plus @dyong.bsky.social and I have a new chapter out. We worked with a group of teachers to work out what culturally sustaining pedagogies might look like in math and computer science classrooms www.igi-global.com/book/cultura...

Today in our team-taught class, my colleague Vivien Hamilton posed this question: what if all of our knowledge production enterprises were centered around care for each other and our more-than-human kin, rather than on control or commodification?

Part of me doesn't want to capitulate early, since the RfP is still stands and if they are going to reject our proposal based on the new EOs, then all the RfPs need to be rewritten first to give people a fair shot. But OTOH I wonder what it's worth to just submit and force them to say no to equity.

Academics who are in the process of writing new NSF proposals: How are you responding to NSF's announcement today? new.nsf.gov/executive-or... I was working on something that involves broadening participation in STEM, because that was what the RfP asked for. Due in a few weeks. Advice?

Nikole Hannah-Jones wrote a long piece about how conservative groups have “co-opted both the rhetoric of colorblindness and the legal legacy of Black activism not to advance racial progress, but to stall it. Or worse, reverse it.” [nytimes.com]

My college (Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA) is hiring a Director of Learning Programs, who will oversee our Writing Center and Academic Excellence Program and contribute to the teaching of our first year core writing course.
