"Discussion of #Israel and #Palestine has long fallen into a special category. Some have called it 'the Palestine exception to #FreeSpeech.' #BrooklynCollege, like other universities, has weathered many controversies in this area." - #MashaGessen

#Vernikov turned herself in after images circulated online of her w/a #gun tucked into her waistband while at the #BrooklynCollege demonstration.
Vernikov filmed herself in front of the protest that was supporting the #Palestinian people, saying she was part of a dueling pro-#Israel demonstration to “support the Jewish students that are in school.”
But one of the Brooklyn College rallygoers… believed Vernikov… was trying to #intimidate Palestinian supporters by having a gun at the event. -

Have you ever wondered who #HostosCollege is named after? Or other #CityUniversityofNewYork colleges like #baruchcollege, #Hunter College, #MedgerEversCollege, #Lehman College and more? Why do #QueensCollege #CollegeofStatenIsland #BrooklynCollege have geographic names?

The word from my PSC-CUNY Union this morning is that an arbitrator is suggesting NYC force retirees off of Senior Care and into privately administered Medicare Advantage program that is worse.
So, I found my local council member

And, I emailed her the PSC-CUNY plan to address the issue:

And Council Member Gale Brewer's plan too.

rain pounded the air conditioners so hard I couldn't hear my student's menschenlaut. In particular: The student presenting on Derrida, Animals, and muteness, w/ an eye towards Achebe and Ngugi on European languages (great little talk!). I pointed to the rain: that's the oppressor!
We had to decamp to an empty classroom in the lee of the storm

CW: USA Mastodon Teaching FERPA
I'm starting to think of possibilities for using #mastodon in my teaching at #BrooklynCollege. Without going into detailed use-cases, a basic one would be to create an instance for a class that students join.
My initial concern in attempting such a thing is respecting #FERPA.
If anyone has links to discussions of using #mastodon in the classroom and FERPA please let me know.

CW: #fediverse for #CUNY #BrooklynCollege
Wondering if #BrooklynCollege has any appetite for setting up an instance. How else will the sociology department verify itself, and be known to the #fediverse?
Asking for the #psych department :)

Quick #introduction post
I'm a professor in #psychology at #BrooklynCollege of #CUNY studying human #cognition. I post about #rstats and other rabbit holes.
I'm a big fan of open-educational resources, and I turn my own course material into #OERs when I can.
I cycle on and off social media, currently on. I :ac_heart: #synthesizers, making #music and #art, movies with #LeslieNielson, #scifi, my #cats, and eating good #food.
See ya round!
