“Recibí un premio y me dijeron que era una cuota”: escritoras denuncian machismo en el mundo del libro
Una escritora publica una novela infantil y le preguntan si lo siguiente “ya es una novela de verdad”. Todo esto relatan escritoras de diversos géneros literarios a elDiario.es.

Randy Pausch – The Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
A lot of professors give talks titled “The Last Lecture.” Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can’t help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

Linguistic Justice: Black Language, Literacy, Identity, and Pedagogy by April Baker-Bell
Bringing together theory, research, and practice to dismantle Anti-Black Linguistic Racism and white linguistic supremacy, this book provides ethnographic snapshots of how Black students navigate and negotiate their linguistic and racial identities across multiple contexts. By highlighting the counter-stories of Black students, Baker-Bell demonstrates how traditional approaches to language education do not account for the emotional harm, internalized linguistic racism, or consequences these approaches have on Black students’ sense of self and identity. Continue reading
