So excited to have been part of this project (and really looking forward to using it for POL 336: Pop Culture & Politics during a winter/summer session)!

My first ever WAKS mention is a pretty fun surprise on a dreary Friday!
Want to engage students in democracy? Read @APSACivic Katherine Robiadek, J. Cherie Strachan & @IUSBennion on student orgs buff.ly/3JVd5VW & using personas for civic communication by @AD_Rank & Rebecca Mushtare buff.ly/36Jbp3j #WomenAlsoCivic #WomenAlsoKnowStuff
I'm very excited to be co-chairing this year's TLC at APSA with @JulioFCarrion1. The TLC community is the best - I hope you'll join us!
Colleagues #PoliSCi, just want to call your attention to the CfP for the 2022 TLC at APSA. @AD_Rank and I are co-chairs for this year's conference. The deadline is January 18th at midnight PT. Thanks to @APSAtweets for its support

This week of classes features one of my favorite activities - the course post-mortem. I briefly review the objectives of the course with students and ask them to let me know where the class succeeded/fell short. It (almost) always starts off slow with only compliments. (1/4)

Often, the gates open and students start to share smart, insightful critiques regarding how I structured the course, how different readings contributed to their experience, and about specific assignments. Of course, not all students feel comfortable joining the discussion. (3/4)

Today 10 students stayed in Zoom 20 min after class ended. I repeatedly said class was over. It was the online version of students gathering by the door at the end of class and walking all the way back to your office because they just need! to know! the answers!

I should also note this stemmed from an animated discussion of Four Threats (Chap 4) from @SuzanneMettler1 & @r_lieberman. I cannot recommend this text enough for helping students see how knowing America's political history helps to understand the political present.
So far I've earned 2 new dessert cookbooks and some new winter running gear through the #MHAWS-inspired rewards plan. I'm incredibly excited to spend part of this weekend making selections! (Plus, you know, I got some work done.)

Today's low-level pandemic irritation: I can't just go get my voter reg week Wendy's. Nothing caps off multiple 14 hour days like a spicy chicken sandwich and a frosty.

Planning time! I never remade my scrum board after leaving my campus office as priority work kept changing in unpredictable ways. *Fingers crossed* that life is settling down enough to add more structure to my work plan. @RPR_Agile
