Too often, I hear student share critiques of neoliberalism that have been taught to them, in ways that intentionally omit any attention to coloniality. How long do folks think that lie holds up?

Pursuing a PhD seemed so much cooler 3 years ago….good times

I wrote a thing :)

We Go, Just Now: (Ex)Changing Time in Caribbean Feminisms and Diasporic Inheritances (by Maddi Chan) https://t.co/nK7UAR1WJo

[Journal of West Indian Literature @jwilonline]

What is your "heart-shaped star"? The "stone" on your "tongue", the beloved name "blossoming" anyway, even if "distorted." What is the speechlessness those of us of/from/with the Caribbean need to offer up to poems?

[Journal of West Indian Literature @jwilonline]

The poem "Speechless" seems to take us from a fairy-tale populated dream into our own inarticulate utterance, or failure to speak. Students of Lorde know "it is better speak," (litany for survival) but is it always possible? What if there is a stone on your tongue?

I co-wrote an article with 31 co-authors in a peer-reviewed journal. This is what collaboration & research in the humanities could look like if incentivised. Check out “The World We Became” an underwater speculative design atlas of climates in the year 2350! #worldbuilding #DH

[maddichan @maddichan1]

Still can’t believe I get the opportunity to teach with @ToPoliticise and @space_femme this term. What a blessing 🥹

Diaspora is a love letter via air mail- the postage stamps alone tell a story of intimacy in absentia, beyond nations.

2023 resolution: clap roti like Grandma Chan used to, with absolutely no indication that fresh-off-pan clapping might just hurt 😂

As we confirmed again and again that the institution does not care about its workers, the MacStrike ended. As drivers became more violent, speeding towards picket lines, & after the administration made the bargaining team sit for 25 hours, the MacStrike ended

[maddichan @maddichan1]

To be clear: the MacStrike ended yesterday, not because a fair deal was reached, but because the administration spent weeks spreading misinformation and enabling/ promoting the coercion of TAs to continue work.

[Shelby @pagingdrdaddy]

@McMasterU cornered us—encouraged strike-breaking, kept our bargaining team at the table for 25 hours, threatened not to return until March, and gave us a deal w/ a big ‘f*@k you’ written inside.

Im proud of my union but I am ashamed to say I work for this uni.

Fk u Susan.

[Ameil J. Joseph Ph.D. (he/him) @ajesusjoseph]

I hope McMaster does not expect TAs to do 3 weeks worth of additional work beginning December 14th in one week & dishonestly express to everyone that everything is fine.
