one of the things i saw in the Fazlur Khan archives was that he kept meticulous notes about Indian scholars who were stateside and supported India against Bangaldesh's war for liberation

and i was like yes, we are the same

"women's work is so poorly remunerated that women are the majority of poor people in the world and this is only made worse by neoliberal policies...despite the emancipatory potential within the 'feminization of society', neoliberalism remains an inherently male paradigm."
