I always feel the normalisation of framing international students as a homogenous and deficit group, either in their home or the destination country. I love the way my respectable supervisors @SE_Lomer @JLMittelmeier elegantly yet powerfully brought it into attention.

Lit review by @SE_Lomer & @JLMittelmeier finds little effect on pedagogy despite increasing number of international students in UK. Deficit models and assimilationist practice predominate and contribute to 'epistemic exclusion'.

I can feel this struggle EVERY SINGLE day. People say things like “anyone can do a self-funded PhD”. I think about quit after hearing the ludicrous amount of financial support my colleagues receive. But seriously, doesn’t “researching without funding” prove our enthusiasm?

While I don't understand my brilliant friend Yongxuan's article in every detail (basically none), he's the most enthusiastic and insightful sociologist I know!! Glad his talent got acknowledged.

Delighted that my article 'Towards Relational Sociology: Space, Relation and Simmel’s Modernity' is out (OnlineFirst). I introduce space into the epistemology of relational sociology to construct a relational spatiality. @sociologyjnl @MCRSociology

I am in academia. I know theories. Yet my mother still refuse to have a serious talk with me and treat me like an adult who is able to make decisions after all these years. I'm outraged.

"(The use of theme-emerging) can be misinterpreted to mean that themes ‘reside’ in the data, and if we just look hard enough they will ‘emerge’ like Venus on the half shell." (Ely et al.,1997: 205-206) Thanks @JLMittelmeier for the invaluable readings on thematic analysis!

Two cancellations in a row. I am appalled by the inhumane way @British_Airways treated its customer. They apparently do not understand how hard it is to fly internationally - and just so u know, an unapologetic text simply inform about cancellation DOES NOT WORK. (More in thread)

It’s been nearly 24 hours after I checked out from Boston Hilton Hotel. And I will be arriving in London 36 hours late than planned. Also the tedious paperwork for compensation…I am not sure if I still want to travel internationally, this is not the risk I am willing to take…

They got me a flight to London tonight, arriving at 10pm. Only if it did not cancel, I will be in London too late to get a train back to Manchester. Not sure if @British_Airways would cover this for me. My plan disrupted, mental health condition worsen, myself drained.
