#ccli2020 keynote by @benicolebe: Euphemistic use of the word & #39;transformation& #39; already being deployed to inspire a false sense of hope, to sugarcoat devastating cuts, or to enshrine the continued drive toward neoliberalism & market approaches #feelingthis
goes on to say: this is not surprising considering the word& #39;s relationship w/ the mythos of American exceptionalism #ccli2020
the word "transformation" often defined solely in terms of changing the surface of the thing, rather than any lasting/structural change #ccli2020 #KeynoteSpeaker
but this understanding of & #39;transformation& #39; only serves to replicates biases, power imbalances, & inequities #ccli2020 #Keynote
fundamental transformation as the homonym to this prevailing meaning of & #39;transformation& #39; https://youtu.be/2-bAnF3cmgM ">https://youtu.be/2-bAnF3cm...
where "rejects the myth of choice" is also extended to mean & #39;rejects the myth of inherent improvement& #39; #ccli2020 #keynote

in the face of current #pandemic and ensuing #highered crisis, "we can expect more desperate calls to demonstrate value, particularly as value relates to the global market" #ccli2020 #keynote
use critical assessment as a model to adjust to the changes we& #39;ll face AS POLITICAL ACTS and therefore with the potential to advance equity & justice #ccli2020 #KeynoteSpeaker
fundamental transformation is built into critical assessment, by its very requirements #ccli2020 #keynote https://youtu.be/9Kiz-F9Idns ">https://youtu.be/9Kiz-F9Id...
