As a PhD I was told that my work wanders too far, beyond the disciplinary boundaries. Now, as I apply for grants, my proposed projects are rejected because they fall between (disciplinary) chairs. I’m tired of this authoritarian, disciplinary gatekeeping. Just want to give up!

I’ve reflected a lot on the German “never again” lately. When I was a child I remember asking my grandma how they could let the genocide happen. Her answer: “We just didn’t know”. She said while in her home town the Jewish people were deported, right in front of them. /1

Indeed. When it comes to Palestinians, there is no right wing, left wing or centrist in Israeli politics. It’s all settler colonial and premised on the assumption of Palestinian non-existence.

Israeli political parties are completely polarised. Except when it comes to Palestinians. Across the political spectrum there is general consensus on"out of sight, out of mind". For some, "out of sight" means behind high walls & imprisoned, for others it means total erasure.

Shocked and what a loss. But a sign of how bad things have gotten in the UK university sector!

Last week I resigned my post at QMUL. Although the sector as a whole is becoming inhospitable & I loved my students & colleagues, QMUL managerial decisions made staying untenable. For me the last straw was the cruel, craven call by management for students to snitch on us.

Surely, the new fans of the resistance of the oppressed will understand if Palestinians resist.

Student Eval 1: Fantastic supervisor. Student Eval 2: Fantastic supervisor. Student Eval 3: Fantastic supervisor. Student Eval 4: Awful supervisor. Guess which evaluation I’m obsessing about at the moment?

THAT article needs to be taken down. It’s not just BAD methods. It’s PEDOPHILIA. But funny to see quant poli sci scholars going “finally we can openly criticize qualitative methods”. Surely, you don’t need/haven’t ever needed pedophilia to bully qualitative researchers 😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂 Danes condemning all the racism faced by 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 players. Will I see you also standing up for your POC colleagues when they face racism in their everyday life and/or workplace in Denmark. Or is it just Danish humor then? Or do we need to keep the office conflict-free?
