Outlined below are my thoughts towards a new faculty diversity training workshop to be given in the fall. A liberal arts education places importance on the diversity of learning. We are required to study a variety of disciplines in order to be truly educated, so shouldn't it be followed that diversity education for professors and othe academic support people would already be in place? I am submitting my proposal for  the faculty taining here as my second web event because the only way to be ecological is to be intersectional. 

I really appreciated your points about how teachers and teachers' unions are portrayed by the media. Teaching is increasingly being treated as an unskilled profession, and teachers' agency and creativity are being taken away. As teachers are being portrayed as unskilled workers and are being blamed for the failures of their students on standardized tests, teachers' unions are blamed for making it difficult to fire "bad" teachers.

Eduroam wouldn't let me post this all night and it was so annoying, but the internet is back! Yay!

This is my first attempt at changing how I write site sits, these are the songs that I wanted to listen to after sitting at my site sit for a while, put on a photo I took there earlier this semester

I've linked them at the bottom: enjoy!

What voice do we speak in? Our site sits are in what genre?

In writing all of my site sits, I feel like I'm writing a book report. The voice doesn't sound like me, or even like anything I care about.  I think we emulate the voices we think are appropriate for academic work. That feels pointless to me, to be bored and continue to do an activity that bores you, even for the sake of academics. 

I really appreciate you bringing in this experience as an example of how much schools can mean to a community and what roles they can occupy, and I totally agree! I spent this past summer at a high school in New York City, and being there made me realize how much school buildings can just become hubs for all kinds of activities.
