This book offers a lived, analytically grounded account of non-academic women’s experiences in UK higher education, foregrounding structural exclusion and the racialised, gendered, and colourist hierarchies that shape institutional life.

This paper grew out of a symposium last year and is now published.

It asks what decolonising inclusion in higher education would actually require in practice.

Just published a new essay on Access Refusal .

Been thinking about how Britishness is talked about today not just in politics but in everyday language. In 2026, ideas once coded are now spoken plainly. Does national identity have to be conditional?

This is hate

When politicians turn a national budget into a racial story, it tells you everything about their real agenda. Farage’s “Somalian with 10 children” remark wasn’t about welfare, it was about who Britain imagines as undeserving. Cheap politics. Dangerous narratives.
