I'll bite. When I made full prof at UChicago 10 years ago I got a raise that brought me to $100K. Annual raises around 3% and one very lucrative move have me now over $170k.

The GOP just proposed new restrictions on the types of food eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits, putting even more pressure on families with children.
In addition, they would aim to keep families with more than one vehicle from receiving help. 👎

I hear you but I also think internalized racism has a specific meaning (people subjected to racism who internalize it). I think it's worth taking the time to spell out the meaning you want, because it helps to understand where we have agency in changing it.

Why isn't Merleau-Ponty read and taught more? "It is certainly right to condemn formalism, but it is ordinarily forgotten that its error is not that it esteems form too much, but that it esteems it so little that it detaches it from meaning."

I was a kid of a professor and as a first-year student at an R1 I brazenly asked a professor to do an independent study with me and he agreed. It was a game-changer for my education. I see other kids with cultural capital familes do similarly and most first-gen kids would NEVER.
