Do you have experience conducting #qualitativeresearch? Do you wish we knew more about researchers' experiences in the field, especially those that are awkward, uncomfortable, and dangerous? Do you wish we knew more about how these affect our research and careers? Please

"Sex with underage girls" is rape. Because children can't consent to sex. "Underage sex" = adult raping a child. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, so why do these headlines persist? https://t.co/tQOuKo9TWh

When organizations or Universities preface an outcome by saying âThis decision was not easyâ it 100% of the time means they chose money over principle.

Some of the recruiting letters my husbandâs parents withheld from him until he was 24 because âwe didnât want to have travel far to home meets, and you arenât that smart anyway.â I was there when they handed him these opened letters. He was national champion in high school. He

Oh look.. a HYPOTHETICAL open source step by step plan (where average citizens could air drop food to starving people in #Gaza in the event that we lose contact with the few aid organizations on the ground) is just lying around in our google drive. đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸đ¤ˇââď¸đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸ https://t.co/RhjhOPdGVF

My university has informed us that we are moving to a âcustomer serviceâ model. Not a joke.

I heard a number of stories like this while on the faculty job market, often told in good humor. But it's not really funny, is it? You shouldn't have to feel like you have to drink or go back to someone's house/hotel to land the job or network. I am so tired of this culture
Sometimes I think about how in grad school a professor (who I liked and handled this with grace) did a professionalization session on conferences and was like "just be congenial! One time I met an academic I admired and we went back to his hotel room for beers. Networking!" (1/2)

I hope folks grasp that universities & research orgs offload crisis to free external coalitions who themselves are unfunded survivors- then celebrate how they have pathways set up. You canât pat yourself on the back for help you didnât provide, nor did you support financially.

This is the paradox: those most aware of how exploitative academic labor is are often the ones doing it unpaid. We need to stop normalizing this. Gratitude and potential opportunity doesnât pay the billsâand neither does prestige. Poor students canât afford unpaid internships.
@MeTooFieldwork The entire academic service structure is built on that exploitative grammar - editorships, publishing, etc. - that's not an excuse, but it is a reality. I'm sorry that we can't/don't pay people for their labor - including myself!
