Teaching is hard. Yet, there are moments when you are inspired by your students. Check out this sign a group of students made for this year’s handball tournament.

Three photographs of Wampanoag people on the National Day of Morning with this text above it, “The false narrative of Thanksgiving simplifies the complex history faced by the Wampanoag and the surrounding tribes in this region. For many, Thanksgiving is a National Day of Mourning, a platform to speak out about the realities and impacts of colonization. As you enjoy your meal today, consider this holiday as an opportunity to unlearn the myths and replace it with the true history behind this national holiday and how it continues to shape where this nation stands today.”

So many things! One highlight was spending time at African Studies Association’s Booth. I was already familiar with their resources from the Boston University African Studies center but learned so much more. I am excited to bring my new knowledge back to my students.
The Logo for the African Studies Association Outreach Council. It includes a red silhouette of the continent with what looks like half the rays of a sun in the eastern part.
