New zine drop on https://t.co/stChodo1BU! "The Words They'll Use Against You: A Glossary for Navigating White Cishetero Institutions" provides resistant definitions of the keywords of straight white academia: diversity, inclusion, professionalism, civility, progress, etc.

Reading Higher Expectations (@rohawkins @LellyK) with a small group of early-career feminist scholars. The intro prompted conversations on how emotional it is to see so many of our experiences published in words and validated. Excited for the chapters/ advice/ examples to come!

India's rich bend housing & land laws with impunity. Meanwhile the poor in cities like Bengaluru are kept in a perpetually precarious state without services in so-called 'undeclared' slums, reports @RishikaKashya19 for @DeccanHerald. Great video featuring @clifroz and @LIAselva2~
Must've heard of the situation of BLR slums in general, but did you know of undeclared slums? People in such slums in the city have been living in inhumane conditions, worse than the declared ones. Are they bearing the brunt of a definitional crisis? Watch https://t.co/X37wf8YASY

This thread = one aspect of academic work that I love - getting to read/be inspired by fascinating work and sharing praise with the authors 🥰👏🏼
I worked on this book for almost a decade, spanning fieldwork, writing and revising. Publication Day was anti-climactic, to put it mildly. But I'm so happy to hear that scholars I follow and admire are beginning to engage it! Recycling Class is Open-access via @mitpress
