"Indian activists need to frame environmental inequities in ways that pressure governments to institute effective policies and programs," writes Roomana Hukil, PhD via The Conversation Canada Hukil's #InformedOps @ bit.ly/3AdqFhO theconversation.com/environmentali…

The #climate has always been a project for #colonial powers. It cannot be fixed without facing our #imperial past/present. #climatechange #colonialism youtube.com/watch?v=NZFkGe…

Global #climate summits are the whitest, most privileged talks ever with zero motivation to include southern marginalized voices. #Glasgow just reiterates this again by excluding #BIPOC from #COP26 and pushing them further to the margins. #COP26Glasgow. 😠 amp.theguardian.com/environment/20…

COPs just prove that words alone make zero difference. Slowing down #climatechange entails #decolonizing global #climate dialogues and #indigenizing more voices on ground if real action is truly desired. #COP26 #CopOut26 #COP26Glasgow #copolitics

The precarious nature of job markets these days shockingly depicts how hard it is to pursue a #PhD and make ends meet despite having to earn the highest degree at a university. #AcademicChatter Academic Chatter™ PhD Forum theguardian.com/education/2021…

#Winter2022 in-person attendance should be done on an opt-in basis only instead of mandating all students to return to campus. Many of us feel compelled to choose b/w #safety & #education as we risk contracting #Omicron & spreadng it to others The Atlantic theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

And yes, even a Nature publication didn't make me fancy enough for a faculty position. I've often been told, "you're from x country. You should be happy that you made it this far." Ok, thanks for the PhD and the 3 postdocs in 5 years. Now goodbye.

It is appalling to learn that more than 90% of #India’s population lives in areas where air quality is below World Health Organization (WHO) standards, according to Greenpeace India's latest analysis.🫁 #AirPollution #ClimateEmergency greenpeace.org/static/planet4…

What a great move by the UGC INDIA to further deemphasize the quality of higher education in India! 🤥 #UGC #PHD #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/education…

#TheKashmirFiles reminds me of the film “#TriumphOfTheWill” by #LeniRiefenstahl that not only justified #Antisemitism & eulogized #Nazi propaganda but also aimed to dehumanize, criminalize & demonize vulnerable minorities i.e., Jews. In KF, the intent is clear: fuel #Islamophobia

The question before Karnataka HC was NOT whether hijab is an essential religious practice. The question was whether the arbitrary ban on hijab by the govt satisfies the Constitutional condition of “reasonable restrictions”. The judgment is not just shocking but also bad in law.

Are fireworks on Diwali an “essential religious practice”? Nope. Cant find it in any holy book. The Karnataka HC has opened a rabbit hole today. Let sanghis now hold their peace & save the outrage when “non-essential religious practices” are duly challenged.

#Christianity in #India is also oft contorted to form a stronger #Hindutva nationalist sentiment intending greater sectarian division in the country. This myth buster is a good read to dispel some of these notions. chroniclesofbharat.com/post/top-five-…

So incredibly proud of this star Sam Chopra whose zeal for learning and dedicated hard work is ever-inspiring and indisputably worthy of adulation. 🤩
