The slides from my @ihr_asu presentation on Designing for Care and Embracing Ungrading. Thanks to @AsaoBInoue for the amazing conversation. As ever, the questions from him and the audience pushed me to think about this work in new ways. #DesignForCare

ALT Most of our assessment mechanisms in higher education don’t assess what our institutions say they value most. Glancing at even just a few college mission statements, I see none of the following: We pit students and teachers against one another. We rank students in fiercely competitive ways. We measure output with little concern for the learning process. We demean student work by crudely quantifying it. We start from a place of deep suspicion of students. We assess in ways that reinforce bias against marginalized students.

Grateful for a governor who champions working people - not the wealthy or corporations - and is committed to #FundOurFutures and #SharetheWealth by making sure the richest 1% pay their fair share so all Minnesotans can thrive! #mnleg

Our budget is how we care for one another. But instead of pitching in their fair share, the richest among us have used this pandemic to get even richer.
Minnesotans are calling on #mnleg to make sure the people on top #ShareTheWealth, so we can #FundOurFutures.

Essential workers, especially immigrants, have been hit hardest by the pandemic and have received the least relief. We must make a commitment to get these workers vaccinated and provide them with economic assistance.

Temple lanterns are one of those things learning Japanese ruins for your a bit; they look so beautiful and mysterious when you can't read them. Then you find out they say things like "Tanaka's Shirts and More!"

Hey grad students who took seminars via remote learning this spring, thoughts on what worked or didn't work for you? Things profs should or shouldn't do when teaching grad seminars online? Thanks!

This semester I put together a zine for my "Video Games and Japan" class featuring student haiku and artwork. (The cover is from an illustration I commissioned from the fantastic @VisiColors.) I'm lucky to be able to work with such talented students, and this was a lot of fun!

I'm thrilled to share this CFP for an upcoming symposium addressing the impact of railroad construction in Indian Country. Please share widely! This is meant to provide space for healing and frank conversation on the 150th anniversary of transcontinental railroad construction.

I'm giving a panel called "Japanese Urban Legends" on Saturday evening from 6:00-7:00 in the Workshop 2 room at #Katsucon2019. I'll talk about famous ghosts, haunted locations, disturbing creepypasta, and fun games... although by "fun" I mean "awful and cursed."
