Excited to see the publication of this year's UX in Libraries Yearbook (including a chapter by me!) Well done everyone! 📚

Conferences are great for reconnecting with old friends. Always a pleasure so see the absolutely wonderful and much missed former Advance HE colleague Dr Arun Verma (he/him). A driving force in HE continuing to make the sector a better place to be. #AHEP2024

#intersectionality
#antiracism
#accountability

I’m sickened by the direction the UK is heading on race relations.

Recent alleged comments esp. re Diane Abbott MP are abhorrent, racist, misogynistic & alarmingly incite violence.

They encourage a blanket disregard for all Black women.

We need political leadership that unites.

How can we be truly sustainable if we don't apply an #intersectionality lens and framework to the problem? In this edition, I explore this question and an answer!
