Check out my interview with @blackagendareport.bsky.social, where I got to describe my @ucpress.bsky.social book, connect it to what’s currently happening in college sports, and pitch the idea of un-learning the “football team as family” and “student-athlete” narratives

Here’s testimony from a walk-on power four college football player that his coach doesn’t know his name or number and the team has the the wrong birthday listed for him such that they wish him happy bday non the wrong day.

Pretty fucked up!

“The aim of my resignation is to break free of powers that seek to limit knowledge and silence voice. To signal that certain boundary lines have been crossed. To insist that advisory roles must expand knowledge and be more than appendages to predetermined decisions.”

"[I] will not be travelling to the United States right now because it feels very dangerous to do so.”

Academic organizations are changing their conference plans to deal with the threat of the US border.

www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7531255

Several conferences relocate north of the border as Canadians refuse to travel to the U.S.

Conference organizers say they made changes after members expressed concerns over U.S. travel
