Everyone loved the impromptu concert Mrs. Brolin treated the Valley to, during Midge's "Women's History Month" Party.

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes It’s not just #WomensStudies *programs* that are being terminated at #American #universities. After the anti-#DEI #ExecutiveOrder issued by #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump last year, weak #HigherEd administrators also shuttered support centers, such as the June Anderson Center for Women and Non-traditional Students at Middle #Tennessee State University.

Who was June Anderson? Glad you asked! www.sitnews.us/MacDougall/060706_macdougall.html

#TexasAM Ends #WomensStudies & Overhauls Classes Over #Race & #Gender

[this on top of the bizarre ban on the #philosophy department from teaching #Plato — seriously]

New policies limiting the teaching of race & gender issues led administrators & professors to change hundreds of courses. #School leaders say the rules could hurt A&M’s reputation. [ya think?]

New York's governor orders college to remove #PalestinianStudies job listing

For Social Justice Sunday, we're celebrating Rebel Hearts, the inspirational documentary about an order of Catholic nuns whose radical commitment to social justice put them in conflict with the church itself.

The Rebel Hearts trailer still gives us chills every time we watch it. Let us know if it grabs your heart, too.

Inspire your learning community about advocacy, activism and courage with Rebel Hearts + our free film guide. Link in bio.

AN EXTRAORDINARY MEMOIR OF BETRAYAL combines the power and insight of a poet’s voice with a clear-eyed look at how society marginalizes female experiences, but celebrates the strength found in women’s friendships. Searing and beautiful. A MINUS

📢New Publication Alert!

🔵🔴Access 'Thinking Blue/Writing Red' by Stephen Tumino—an exploration of contemporary #culture through the lens of #Marxism.

'Thinking Blue/Writing Red' interrogates contemporary culture across a range of texts, from the #pandemic (‘#Covid’ and ‘#TrumpSpeak’) to high theory (#Melville's narratives) and popular culture (#Beyoncé's ‘#Formation’ and #SuperBowl performance, #TwinPeaks, metamodern ‘cli-fi’ films). Inspired by #Derrida’s idea of the secret, Tumino examines the significance of social movements (#BLM, #Occupy, alter-globalization) and naïve art (#Darger, #Ryden) to argue that these texts speak of the secrets that capitalism cannot.

This book will be of interest to students in several disciplines, including #philosophy, #literary and #culturalstudies, #filmstudies, #womensstudies, #criticalrace studies, history, #LGBTQ+ studies and #environmentalstudies.
