Today we celebrated partnership in my new community based program evaluation class. Students completed course assignments aligned with the needs of local nonprofits in education in Rhode Island. I’m grateful for their brilliance and persistence. @BrownEduDept @SwearerCenter
Major congrats to @ginid08 on this honor!
Congrats to 5 outstanding scholars welcomed into UW-Madison's chapter of the Edward Alexander Bouchet Graduate Honor Society this academic year! Meet them here: grad.wisc.edu/2024/12/03/fiv…
Yesterday, students in my course Critical Black Masculinities and Education course hosted an interactive showcase for a self-published zine curated and designed by them. Their theme was “Defining Love”. So proud of them. This creative work is truly a curriculum! @BrownEduDept
I am grateful for the responsibility to create, transform, and build alongside the brilliance of others. Always reminded of our collective abundance. This class will be amazing!

Also it’d be ridiculous if I didn’t shoutout some of those that have made my journey into evaluation work possible! @WECuwmadison @aeaweb @NSF and the GEDI family! This course is my mini contribution to a long legacy of culturally responsive evaluators.

The beauty about today is that we truly are at square one again and have to ask to everybody: What is change? What is a coalition? What is a movement? No lazy or shortcut answers will move us forward in any productive way about these. We are returning to the foundational work.

In-person and virtual talk at my alma mater
Hybrid: Th, Nov. 14 @ 12pm - “Good Boys, Bad Hombres: The Racial Politics of Mentoring Latino Boys in Schools” @MichaelVSingh - Center for Research on Social Change, Center for Race and Gender, @center_latinx , @berkeley_educ mailchi.mp/berkeley.edu/hybr…
We need to very honest that this cyclical genre of anxiety about Black men’s votes has little, if anything, to do with the trajectory of their material lives and all to do with drawing new lines around race-based political compromise. The state is speaking to more than Black men.
Kamala Harris unveiled new policy proposals aimed at Black men which includes:
-providing a million loans to Black entrepreneurs
-creating more Black male mentor programs
-a health initiative for diseases like prostate cancer
-protecting crypto assets

Again, Toni Morrison said, “I would like my work to do two things: be as demanding and sophisticated as I want it to be, and at the same time be accessible in a sort of emotional way to lots of people, just like jazz. That’s a hard task. But that’s what I want to do.” Lock in.
It was fun to ask students what they think should have been discussed in the presidential debate last night. The absence of discussion around educational issues was wild. All we got was some playful and haphazard reference to student loan forgiveness, smh.

Today marks the beginning of my teaching as Visiting Assistant Professor of Education at Brown. I’ll use this thread on class days to share a short insights along this journey for those that might find them at worst, amusing, and at best, helpful!
Oh and I get to teach this amazing class! I designed this course as an intervention. From the house rules we set, to the theory we engage, to the evidence of learning we produce, it’s about to go down!
📢 New Course! Fall 2024 📢 EDUC 1610: "Critical Black Masculinities and Education" with @jp_lesure, Visiting Assistant Professor of Education. T 4pm-6:30pm in Salomon Center 202.
My early days here at Brown have been full of amazing and welcoming people. From the students, to the faculty, to the staff. Excited to kick everything off next week as the semester starts!

➡️“Black men need support-such as social and emotional support, patience, grace, & close attention-so that we can explore a healthy range of our masculine selves.”
A powerful piece by my dear friend Dr. Derrick Brooms & his colleague @jp_lesure
