“‘The University killed me. Don’t let them do this to you.’ – Professor Barbara Christian” (471) “What is important about my case is not that I was mistreated, but rather that the macroagression of police violence is part of a continuum of racist homophobic patriarchal violence that all women of color experience on various levels. Women of Color professors experience macroaggressions as serious assaults on their physical safety while also enduring microassaults in the profession. The end result is that women of color often leave the university or are forced out. The Research Institute for the Study of Intersectionality and Social Transformation.

This fall I’m teaching a new graduate seminar on scholar-activism. Since it’s limited to enrolled students at UW-Madison, I’m going to attempt to broaden its reach by blogging on the class a bit here. If you’d like to follow along, here’s the syllabus. I encourage the students in the class — and all of you — to add your comments to this blog as well since it will help us to extend, clarify, and enhance the discussion we have in person. The title of this blog was the topic of this week’s class. Islands in Between Conference. The UWI-Cave Hill and the University of Puerto Rico collaborate in the holding of an annual conference which focuses on the literature, language and culture of the Eastern Caribbean.
Known as the “Islands In Between” Conference, it takes place on different islands where there is no university campus, and the basic motivation is to bring a university presence to each island, make contact with local students and scholars, engage them in joint discussions on Eastern Caribbean literature, language and culture and to encourage research in these areas. Occasionally, the conference takes place on larger Caribbean islands and in countries on the South and Central American mainland that have a significant Eastern Caribbean presence.
Conferences have been held in: 1998 – Nevis 1999 – Carriacou 2000 – St. The 2015 conference will take place Nov. 5-7 on St. For more info, click here . Related Links:

Everyone gets a trophy, and everyone deserves to be praised just for showing up. As one author put it: “Parents have moved from feeling they should give their children everything they need, to giving them everything they want.” You can debate how much truth there is here. But plenty of professors have told me that when many of their students get to college, they lug into the classroom a sense of academic entitlement—a belief that their papers and exams should be graded on how hard they’ve worked, not how well they’ve mastered the material. When they don’t receive the grades they think they deserve, many take the matter up with the graders. When that happens, one thing becomes clear: Their feelings about the quality of their work often don’t match the reality of their performance. For many professors—especially faculty without tenure or the job security that comes with it—this poses a problem. GoFundMe: #1 for Crowdfunding & Fundraising Websites.
