At AAAL, we will miss one speaker in our session, a scholar from another country, due to the immigration and political situation in the U.S. I see this as a call to at least return to hybrid conference access and perhaps rethink the goals of inter/national conferences in these times.

Sharing info on the 3/11 book talk of UC Berkeley alumna and CUNY professor, Ariana Mangual Figueroa. 'Knowing Silence' is an important read to examine ways to support children from mixed-status families. It draws on a critical and uplifting study of children's everyday language practices in school

Right, right, a microaggression for sure, when such folks could be asking other less traumatizing and now a more potentially dangerous question. at some level is such an irresponsible question to ask

"Where are you from?" is a common question in public discussions for its coded/explicit racist/nativist tone (it is a language and social justice issue for sure). I'd love to think w/others on how to write /educate folks about the trauma activated by the question. also any pubs you can share please?
