an important note to male profs: allowing students to address you by your first name makes ME the "other" who asks for my well-earned respect.— Shannon McGregor (@shannimcg) April 16, 2018
Be a feminist ally: address all colleagues by their title(s) in front of students & ask students to address you the same way.
