Hi Bluesky, I'm conducting research on the opportunities and challenges in the #UKHE sector that involuntarily displaced mid-career/senior academics face. Particularly interested in speaking to those in humanities and social sciences, regardless of their current employment status. 1/4 #academicsky

The story is strikingly similar to Hong Kong immigrants (or high-skilled individuals from any Global south country) relocating to the UK - see if the 'lack of local experience' becomes a problem in employers' initial screening of job applications for them

Is 'deliberately making mistakes' a strategy too? Just like publishing shitty books as a public service for people to know what good books are... (ref from a recent film)

Muito gente como a gente

Print de um texto e fotos do goleiro do auckland city dizendo estar preocupado em ter feito uma combinação de suas férias pra dar um jeito de jogar a copa do mundo. Em uma das imagens ele dirige uma empilhadeira num deposito

Through gathering lived experiences from individuals to examine current structures and policies in shaping the workplace experience of displaced academics, we hope to formulate evidence-based suggestions to guide future work for universities as sanctuaries. Feel free to circulate, thank you! 4/4

Your involvement will include a 1-hour audio-recorded interview (online or in person). Your name, nationality and institution would be anonymised in future publications. After the interview, you will be offered a £25 shopping voucher to compensate for your time. 3/4

If you identify yourself as a mid-career/senior academic in your home country/region but had to relocate to the UK due to political and social threats in the past decade, or working on a role to support these academics, please message me to express your interest in participation. 2/4

Francis very much looking like he’s in a Pet Shop Boys video here

Pope Francis in civilian clothing on a bus in maybe the 90s? He’s wearing all black and looking directly at the camera. There’s a man with a full moustache next to him and a pensive looking suited man sat behind him.

II wrote about the Lib Dems' idea of stopping unwanted noise/music/speakerphones on public transport. No-one's said it yet, but this is a neurodivergence/autism issue maybeimamazed.substack.com/p/why-speake...

Why speakerphones and blaring music on public transport is a neurodivergence issue

The UK Liberal Democrats want to ban loud music, videos and phone calls on buses and trains. Respect to them

Jordan Henderson is a great English leader. But he has been encouraged and applauded for the very same acts for which minority ethnic players are castigated and stigmatised
