Naomi JacobsI'm at a fantastic webinar on the Politics and Practices of University Exclusion, sharing findings from #SocialResearch with/led by marginalised researchers in universities - beginning with a research project on LGBT+ staff on the rainbow lanyard & experiences of support/exclusion in universities. Talks coming up from racially minoritised & disabled researchers on their work/networks. One theme coming through is the extra labour of #MarginalisedResearchers that #Academia relies on from them but doesn't compensate. Another is a lack of accountability e.g. when trying to navigate anonymous systems. Loved one participant's call for solidarity between academics from many oppressed groups. #AcademicRacism #AcademicTransphobia #AcademicAbleism
Sadaf Siddiqui-AliA job candidate asked about the challenges faculty face at EMU. We mentioned budget and enrollment. I held my tongue, but RACISM is a big one too. Especially because the meeting I was in also included a whyte women that's been harassing me since I've been at EMU. #AcademicRacism
haven4books"50 Reasons Why There Are No Māori in Your Science Department" | Tara McAllister
From the introduction:
'“Why are there no Māori in our science department?” is a question I often get asked by well-meaning non-Māori scientists. I often try to coax them towards some inward
reflection, but the reality is that there is a very long list of reasons. This list touches on some of those reasons. Professor Chelsea Watego, in reference to a tweet about the lack of Black people in certain university departments, said that “Those absences tell a story, and it isn’t one of Black lack but white violence” (Watego, 2020). The reasons I present here are also not about our lack of ability to be scientists, we did navigate across Te Moana nui a Kiwa after all. Instead, here I encourage people to think about the workplace environment they are expecting us to exist in.'

c0nc0rdanceI want to tell you the story of Vivienne Malone-Mayes, Texas-born mathemetician and professor, but I don't think you can understand her journey without talking about the #AcademicRacism in which she existed.
