The lack of Black/mixed PhDs in UK unis (see HESA data) really isnt getting enough attention. There is (rightly so) a lot of talk abt decolonising our curriculums and institutions, but this convo shouldn't be seperate from these stark inequalities at postgrad research level.

- Solidarities are ours for the taking in these moments. Some of us have more space to engage with this process than others. You will not convince people by repeatedly telling them they are wrong.

So happy to see @AcademicDiary & Bev Skeggs on this! Both have played such a crucial role in my own journey as a public sociologist. Backed me when no one else did, told me I was good enough when countless people had told me to give up. Reparative & loving scholars✨ #britsoc23

Disappointed at another Black mixed-race woman accepting a role that clearly should have been for a dark-skinned BW. The persistence of this structural & interpersonal colourism(s) DOES require an acknowledgement of personal responsibility.

Antiblack racism, whiteness *AND* colourism made JK possible. Please do more reading, look around at the visible Black people in your institution and consider therapy. It is enough.

Please can we stop normalising voluntary unpaid labour/actual jobs for postgrads! By doing this you are literally contributing to structural disadvantage in HE. Short thread -

I just want to say that I am extremely lucky to have a 3 year position post PhD, but also to reiterate that there is nothing individualised about my achievements. Everyone is working hard & I'm not an exception! Loads of help, aquiring capitals & some luck have been crucial!

@redrumlisa @LindaJaneLewis Lisa delete this now. This is not your story to tell. I haven't even spoken publically about the instutional racism &classisn I experienced at LSE sociology, so for you to talk about this to your 14k followers is a disgrace. I will speak when I'm ready, this is not yours.

I wish they would stop talking about the 'prospect' of the NHS being overwhelmed when it has in fact been overwhelmed for a good number of years. Keep calm & save the economy 🤪

But there's also about 30 people (minimum!) who have been integral to my scholarly development. Guidance, mentorship, sponsorship and people literally breaking outdated (racist & ableist) traditions about academic excellence have enabled me to get a job.

This is not a defence of her, but more abt the fact that there needs to be a collective recognition of the role 'good people' play in creating environments that nurture racism. The gaps in scholarship, knowledge, structures & what is upheld as valueable enable all of this.

Literally one week ago today I was teaching bell hooks x Stuart Hall to sixth formers and any one who has used her work knows the magic it creates amongst students. What's love got to do with it? literally, everything. RIP to the greatest x

It'll be some time before I have the words,space&time to articulate just how transformative bell hooks has been for my (Black) sense of self, my own scholarship & how I approach all of my relationships. The 🔑 was to try to find ways to love even in an abundance of lovelessness

This is quite an emotional one for me personally as I started my postgrad career in @bbkpsychosocial and was kept on track despite severe financial & MH difficulties by the department & Yasmeen Narayan @Aaaqilah . Lets go HE! Put the money in!
