Maybe consider this intervention and see where it takes you solution-wise. Nice to see they finally recognise 'mainstreaming' as a phenomenon though . even if they don't know who's doing it and how it works. 4/.

I'm often told I don't offer solutions, but it's only problem-solving if the problem doesn't get worse on your watch. That is impact . 3/.

Some of us have been writing about the role of this legitimisation, mainstreaming and emboldening of racism, the far right and violence for over a decade - while the media and politicians reproduce it, and extremism and terrorism researchers look anywhere but there. 2/.

Do something serious and helpful.
We’re cracking down on migrants working illegally as food delivery riders. We'll share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats so they can take action if riders are staying there. We will do what it takes to ensure fairness for British people.

Not even citing any of the genocide scholars who call Israel out. The series Adolescence got more attention from the field and it was fiction. 3/.

It's almost as if they don't have capacity or willingness to see the state, particularly an ally and Israel specifically as a perpetrator. Sure, they'll evoke genocides of the past and possible future when worrying about the impact of extreme actors, but here nothing. 2/.

Frequently reminded how little those working on hate, extremism and political violence acknowledge Israel's genocide in Gaza . except to remind us of Hamas and October 7 (including as justification) or criticise pro-Palestinian protests. 1/.

There's a widespread assumption academics are in an ivory tower/bubble where they aren't friends with those outside. Maybe some but we live in the world. Could be elitism from a different era or lack of time now. The latter as many are stretched & precarious public sector workers.
Unsolicited advice for incoming PhD students: . Maintain your friendships with people who aren't academics.
