After lunch Sarah Liu Sarah Liu (she/her) delivered a great session on Feminist Quantitative Methods, encoraging us all to dwell on what makes a question feminist.

An *extremely* important piece by asheeshksi.bsky.social which demonstrates clearly how universities, far from being left-wing bastions, are completely run by the corporations & rightwing trustees/donors, right down to brass tacks. teenvogue.com/story/campus-c…?

What a gorgeous day to run a half marathon in Queensferry just for fun. 😃

Super engaging sessions on feminist quantitative methods by Sarah Liu (she/her) and on disrupting coloniality by rashné limki from The University of Edinburgh GENDER.ED @ University of Edinburgh 2/3

Being a man also seems to be a criterion for being a minister in incoming Taiwan president 賴清德Lai Ching-te’s cabinet.

It speaks volume of the dire situation of the UK higher education sector when this thread of advice needs to exist.

We live in a world which assumes that women's ideas are there for the taking. This data shows both men and women are more likely to take credit for women's ideas than for men's. Kieran Snyder

It's been 1.5 years since I started my job as Lecturer in the History of Sexuality at the University of Edinburgh. When people ask me how it's going, I can save my breath and share these 2 articles with them instead. thetimes.co.uk/article/transp…
