"These feelings and experiences of precarity, surveillance and non-belonging are a product of an institutional culture that views international postgraduate students as risks to manage." Brilliant point by my colleagues Heather Proctor and Tina Sikka. We👏are👏not👏risks

Myself and Tina Sikka on how university policing of international students damages the academic community, and more crucially, the students themselves. International students should be treated as equals and fully supported, not cash sources to be managed. timeshighereducation.com/campus/univers…

PGR picket Heather speaks for branch to BBC. Fantastic job. Proud of all our members today. Brilliant day of action. ⁦Newcastle University UCU⁩ ⁦NCL Student-Staff Solidarity⁩ #UCURising

Had a great time speaking about and discussing my Women and Equalities Committee placement experience today with MCH_Newcastle 🥳

Once again disappointed but not surprised by the assumption in HE that racially minoritised individuals should not only do emotional and intellectual work around anti-racism for free, but should also be grateful for this opportunity to do unpaid labour (!!)

Following our powerful keynote with really interrogative papers from Heather Proctor roni and Newcastle Politics Reader Jemima Repo. Their presentations offered incredible theoretical interventions on racial identities, neoliberal spaces and settler colonialism. #intersections23

A great pair of panels to round off my first #RGSIBG23

Very rude of Westminster to get the rumour mill turning when I have all these essays to mark

Just about recovered from jet lag after an amazing time at (and very delayed flight from) #CMRS2024 ❤️ it was so fantastic to have such a welcoming space to talk about all things mixed-race specifically!

I’m heartbroken that this even had to happen, but feeling slightly safer and calmer seeing this show of solidarity. ♥️
