Interesting read on positionality in fieldwork on LSE blogs. Also another on deconstructing the power dynamics at play when doing fieldwork in the global south, both regarding access in a security setting and between researchers and local people/NGOs. https://t.co/vX3hYsWBIh

Researchers may actively participate in the structural and physical power dynamics they aim to critique. They need to unlearn whiteness.

It’s been a learning curve teaching two classes in the first semester of my PhD, but receiving new board pens as a ‘thank you’ from students made it worth it! They’ve exploited my love of stationery (and noticed my weekly frustration at needing to steal pens from next door) 👩🏻🏫✏️

Always seem to dip back into these poems before starting to write. With each read, the words seem to take on different notes and provoke new interpretations. Post-memory stood out this time around. And now back to writing... @KPutuma
