Deniers of racism, casteism, sexism love to reduce them from the systemic/structural level to the individual level, n say "but not me"

[Dr. DaShanne Stokes @DaShanneStokes]

We must show the world that even though we are about to install a fascist, fascism will not prevail.

[Blu Buchanan @BluBuchanan]

Refusal is a political act, and not to be confused with apathy. Don’t get the two twisted.

@ScholarshipfPhd YES

[Dr. Sylvia Karpagam @sakie339]

People who give up on Indian citizenship to milk benefits off other countries shouldn’t be acting like the vanguards of Indian nationalism or questioning the loyalty of those who actually hold Indian citizenship.

Focus on your own country. Bye.

as a mixed method researcher…we don’t talk enough about how you need the kind of nuance provided via interviews, ethnography, focus groups etc…to be able to form and ask the right questions for your quantitative surveys.

As a non-Jew married to a Jew, one harsh thing I learned over the past year is that I had severely underestimated how much antisemitism exists in Canada and especially in my lefty academic bubble.

[Martez Files @Dr_Martez_Files]

Lol, not y'all asking for a material analysis!

Antiblackness is more than a material analysis; it is the analysis of the material. You, the Black, are not simply a metaphor but the fundamental unit of capital, the site of fungibility, as Taija Mars McDougall asserts: Black people are money. Blackness is not just marked by debt but constituted by it, embodying, what Denise Ferreira da Silva terms, "unpayable debt." It's also an ontological status that can never be reconciled within modernity. This debt is not just financial. The Black body, commodified and capitalized, represents a structural debt that remains open because it is essential to the formation of social and economic order. It is an endless extraction with no prospect of settlement, where Black life is continuously expended. This means no closure is possible in an antiblack world.

india is such a stellar example of why the postcolonial is not decolonial. Less than a few decades after “gaining” their own independence their is a complete erasure of the collective memory of what imperialism is what solidarity means who the aggressors are what is colonialism

[Justin Huft @ProfHuft]

At the end of class about race and racisms, a student talked about how important the class was for giving them language to describe their experiences.
They said, "sociology is a tool for survival" and I cannot stop thinking about that. Pedagogy is a moving experience.

The judicial killing of reservation has happened and they strategically included the only Dalit judge as a conspirator in this murder.

If you're wondering why landlords are charging double and triple the rent for security deposits, that is the easiest (legal) way for them to exclude potential tenants who are receiving government assistance.

[Harvard Grad Students Union-UAW Local 5118 @hgsuuaw]

Our campaign for a living wage launched seven months ago. Though the University refused to work with us, today Harvard University GSAS has announced it will raise the minimum compensation package for all PhD programs to $50K.

@lyft is a horrible service. After chatting with the customer support for over half n hour, they refused to refund my $5 cancellation fee and just apologized for the inconvenience. I'm not using Lyft again if this is how they treat their customers.

[Desi Sociologist ✊ @Fierce_Alien]

@lyft driver refused to give me a ride as I had my cat with me.He refused to cancel the ride and asked me to cancel the ride. Lyft charged me $5 cancellation fee. After talking with Lyft customer support,they told me my cancellation fee won't be refunded

[Cornell Graduate Students United @Cornell_GSU]

Across Cornell, graduate workers teach, produce research, and do service work that enriches this university. Today, hundreds of graduate workers are coming together to build a better Cornell: we are officially kicking off our campaign to form a graduate employee union.

[Diane Mendoza Nevárez, Ph.D. @DiNevarez]

Your university is designated as a “Hispanic Serving Institution,” but is it a Hispanic Hiring Institution?

[Amanda Roberti, PhD @ProfARoberti]

I started calling “office hours” “student hours” and explained why that is. The overall reactions of my students seemed to be really positive. I wonder if it’ll change the level of engagement or communication. I’ve gotten a lot of email inquiries…
