- In 1982, inspired by the work of MO the National Lesbian and Gay survey began, it sought to capture what everyday life was like for queer people living in the UK. For our latest open call we're continuing the work of NLGS and asking what does it mean to be queer every day? #lgbtqhistory

- Macquarie is my alma mater & my former workplace. I loved working there with brilliant, dedicated teachers & researchers. Shows no care for the student experience either.There aren’t enough continuing staff NOW to teach the courses.
- More on the destruction of MqUni Arts. Every PoC in Sociology has been sacked or pushed into teaching only. Only 1 woman left in Politics & Intl Relations, & 1 in Sociology. At least 3/9 sacked academics are neurodiverse. Several successful researchers have been sacked or made teaching only. 2/2
- Shocking analysis of the gendered, racial & disability dimensions of the sackings in Arts at Macquarie University. 7 women and 2 men made redundant. 5 of the 7 women sacked are Women of Colour. 3 of the 4 people pushed onto teaching only roles are PoC. 1/2

- dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani? great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com
- It's such a pleasure teaching talented students in documentary filmmaking and podcasting. Very proud of my students who produced outstanding, original docos. They are also just lovely people to work with.
