   • Flash Mob Of One

   @FlashMobOfOne I had a lot of ethical, good teachers in high school, and then, in college, professors all seemed only to be interested in themselves. I didn't have many who cared much about what happened to me. Several professors at my school dated students, so you either had to deal with sexual harassment or being ignored if their attention was on someone else. That was an awful feeling. I've taught college for 23 years and everything I do is about students getting education and opportunities.

     • Flash Mob Of One

     @FlashMobOfOne I got recruited from Biochemistry into English by a professor who at first put me in her doctoral courses as an undergrad, which flattered me, but later I realized she was just using me to humiliate her grad students. When I did an MA there, she dramatically rejected my thesis to punish me for not making her the lead professor, and the rest of the department shamed her into changing her mind. Power games, mind games, sexual humiliation. I never want students to feel any of that.
