After my class today, I walked with students to the peaceful demonstration and teach in. We were met with this and state troopers on horses.

The Centering Race and Disability in Histories of Eugenics was such as a joy to attend. On a personal level, the conference helped me rethink my relationship with my mother, who is disabled. On an intellectual level, the conference truly centered praxis. @ProfLiraN @MinnaStern
We loved reading your important work @Prof_galarte ! Excellent discussion led by @XavyRRamirez and classmates 💕
This week I had the pleasure of reading, and presenting on, Brown Trans Figurations by @Prof_galarte in my grad seminar. Our class discussion started even before entering the classroom and went on throughout our presentation.
Gracias @ProfLiraN for having this on the syllabus!

loved talking with @AliMuldrow today as part of this month-long series of shows on #reproductivejustice
For today's show, @AliMuldrow talks with @ProfLiraN about her research on the forced sterilization of Latinx in California and how it connects to today's #reproductivejustice debates at the intersection of race, disability, and the policing of bodies.

If you don’t see how family separation and forced pregnancy are connected forms of state violence, notice how adoption is being promoted as the “solution” for both.
