We're all anti-ableism until we have to make ourselves uncomfortable to accommodate those who are not able-bodied. We're so not used to making adjustments. It is the environment, but it's also us as communities. Creativity to come up with inclusive strategies should also be our political agenda.

I had the best experience as a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow. I hope many more people, especially from the Global South, continue to benefit from the intellectual freedom and protected time for research that this postdoctoral programme makes possible! media.leverhulme.ac.uk/video/leverh...

Insoportable vergüenza al ver al presidente de mi país estrechando la mano de un genocida y difundiendo islamofobia. Que sepa el mundo que en Ecuador mucha gente se opone y resiste.

Atención a estas graves denuncias. En las prisiones hay insalubridad, epidemias, extorsiones, torturas y otras violaciones graves de los DDHH. Con un gobierno autoritario y antidemocrático, mañana podríamos estar allí nosotres o nuestrxs hijxs.
