My take on what #Congo’s recent army reshuffle means (or not), and why US reactions to it have been dangerously ill-guided—both for Congo and with regards to sanctions more broadly.

På mitt jobb sägs det ibland - halvt på skämt halvt på allvar - att vi i första hand anställer 47-åriga kvinnor som läst statsvetenskap i Uppsala. Klart är att vi på Sids definitivt kan bli mycket bättre på mångfald. (1/5)

Reflects a sad and typical trend in current discourse: the indulging in the hardship endured by a privileged (heroic) researcher self. A troublesome failure of recognizing privilege in relation to the people you "do research on" or hire as assistant…Change is needed.

If u do #fieldwork pls reflect on #PRIVILEGE. U r not saving anyone n only furthering ur careers. N if #fieldwork is so hard, don't do it. It is not a form of self indulgence, a feel good thing. There are some real people out there, suffering. @MariaEBaaz @Mats_Utas @dsfactories
