Hyped to share an article that just dropped in English Teaching: Practice and Critique. In it, we examine how participating children in the Coastal Climate Kids Collective "voiced" climate action through drawing & dreaming about new climate futures. Read it here! doi.org/10.1108/ETPC... #literacies
Honored to receive the 2026 Early Career Award from AERA Division G (Social Context of Education). Thank you to my nominator, @kevinkumashiro.com, who both inspires & advocated for my STEM ed. research committed to intersectional justice. Excited for the Annual Mtg in LA! @aeraedresearch.bsky.social
Grateful for a recent spotlight of my work as a Latino STEM educator in the Aug 2025 issue of "Hispanic Engineer & Information Technology" magazine. The feature article is titled "Latino Educators: Where Innovation Meets Leadership." Thx, Gale Gay, for writing the article.

You should confuse them & start using "rofl" instead... And then proceed to put up an "away message" with font using impeccable HTML code. ;)
It's the "three syllables" that had me. 🤣 This post gave me travel-buddy FOMO.
Grateful for this beautiful review of our book, "Teacher Learning of Ambitious and Equitable Mathematics Teaching: A Sociocultural Approach"

You’re looking at your 2026 Cecil Memorial Lecture speaker at Smith College!
Grateful for the opportunity to speak to young people and those who uplift them about these times of peril and hope.
Let’s get into it!
Excellent perspective from @thejosevilson.com pushing back on community-building as a ‘soft skill’ in math learning:
“There is nothing 'soft' about trying to build community. It’s actually hard to figure out what’s going on w/ a particular student that isn’t allowing them to connect to a problem.”
Durand Bernarr’s GRAMMY distinction includes all ingredients to my happiness:
—Celebrating Black queer/queer of color representation & excellence ✅
—Elevating the power of neo-soul music into the 2000s & beyond ✅
—Bringing your proud mother to share special moments of life/career achievement ✅
How do signals in professional settings shape confidence for Black women from #HBCUs in #computing? This segment of #Ed_PERCInsights: BIG ideas. Small bites shares a key finding from Proving Our Worth on how industry environments can reinforce #impostersyndrome. #ScholarGrind

In this segment of #Ed_PERCInsights: BIG ideas. Small bites, we examine the double-bind—how #racism & #sexism intersect to shape how #Black women from #HBCUs experience #computing in industry & university partnerships.

Grateful for the opportunity to read an early draft of
@ilanahorn.bsky.social's first editorial as JRME Editor. She writes about math education research during precarious times near & far in the world. I always value Lani's metaphor use in her writing to make sense of complex ideas. cc: @nctm.org
Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future.
Amplifying a new feature highlighting scholarship from my STEM higher education colleagues — Ebony McGee, Christopher Jett & Devin White.
Congrats, Doc!

✈️ 📚 Honored to be selected as one of 60 mathematics education scholars around the world to deliver an Invited Lecture during the 16th International Congress on Mathematical Education. Grateful for members of the Programme Committee who recognized my scholarship through this special opportunity. ✨ ✉️
Hi, Gina! Yes, it is published in AERA Open. Thanks so much for bringing servingness to the field. It played a foundational role in our research study. Here is the article link: doi.org/10.1177/2332...
Congrats, Jon!
list 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep
1. Music videos and MTV programming from the '90s
2. Intersectionality theory & its relevance to STEM education
3. Why Skeeter from "Muppet Bubbies" should be a muppet
You are a trooper. I only went to 1 of 3 days at the Outstide Lands Festival this year. Thanks for the text updates! 😀
My book on rural, poor and working-class college students is now available to purchase! THANK YOU to folks who supported me in this journey, the amazing students who shared their stories with me, and of course my fantastic publisher #RoutledgeBooks!

📢New Pub Alert📢 Thrilled to share our our new article, "Promoting sociotechnical perspectives of engineering during a summer bridge program," published in Journal of Engineering Education onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...
May be of possible interest to: @aeraedresearch.bsky.social, @aeradivjgradnet.bsky.social, @aerasiglatinx.bsky.social, @justequations.bsky.social, @joinmaa.bsky.social, @nctm.org, @rume-sigmaa.bsky.social, @todos-math.bsky.social
You can also learn more about TIPS research during an episode of the "¿Qué Pasa, HSIs?" podcast (@quepasahsis.bsky.social), which amplifies HSI research & practices for servingness. TIPS team members joined Dr. Garcia for a convo about disrupting intersectional oppression in math across HSIs. (5/5)
The analysis comes from a collaborative project btwn Sonoma State U. (HSI site) & Vanderbilt U. titled "Transformative Inclusion in Postsecondary STEM" (TIPS). Our research lab's website offers for more info re: TIPS & other projects on intersectionality in STEM: lab.vanderbilt.edu/prismlab/ (4/5)
We found that a racially-affirming community (a key element of campuswide servingness) was critical for Latin* Ss' equitable access to classroom participation. Building such a community, thus, was a "mechanism of instructional servingness." The figure presents a visual summary of our findings. (3/5)
Applying an adaptation of @ginaanngarcia.bsky.social's servingness model as our analytical lens (see figure), we examined journaling and interview data for Latin* Ss' perceptions of math instructional practices that limited or promoted support for their racial & intersectional identities. (2/5)
