🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I stand in solidarity with Tufts full-time lecturers (non-tenure-track faculty) both because I rep them and know them well, and also not for that reason at all. (thread) 1/
With 1 day to go, Tufts full-time lecturers (FTLs) have hit 93% in their work stoppage authorization vote. Admin has yet to propose both livable salaries & manageable workloads.
Use our template to tell admin: they can stop this at any point by making a fair offer. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I want to say this again: Fall and Winter 2016 was a terrible time for authors with new books. Books just vanished into the Trump news cycle maw. Please consider buying some Fall and Winter 2024 books so we (including me) can keep writing. Here's a list of authors with books to consider:
