Symposium: Little acts of #decolonisation: finding the cracks in the #whiteness of #AcademicWriting

16 June 2023, 10:00–15::00, #OxfordBrookes

This symposium positions the whiteness of academic writing norms as an object of inquiry. Keenly aware that as subjects we are acted upon as much as we act, we position our inquiry within the cracks of modernity’s rationalised structures, surfaces, and subjectivities

Organiser: Juliet Henderson <jhenderson@brookes.ac.uk>

Took the day off publishing work. And spent a happy, peaceful productive day in academic work, tracking down research materials I used for a keynote conf paper I gave in 2019, that now needs to become a much more respectable book chapter. So nice to be in academia again. And my visiting research fellowship at Oxford Brookes has finally been renewed. Yay!

#Introduction

Hello everyone!

I am currently an #MA student in #journalism at #OxfordBrookes University in #Oxford (UK)!

As a journalist, I focus on #China's #subcultures and #indiemusic communities. Most of my work can be found at chinatemper.com.

When not writing, I enjoy #poledancing, #travelling, exploring China’s #craft #beer industry, rocking out at music gigs, learning new things, and studying #Mandarin #Chinese and its #dialects.
✌️ ❤️ 🍻

Hi @academicchatter I am a #journalism MA student at #OxfordBrookes looking to interview an expert in #greenenergy regarding the use of #escooters and their impact on cutting #CO2 #emissions. If anyone would be willing to comment on these technologies or similar trials on reducing #transportation -related #carbon, I would be very appreciative! Thank you! @geography #climate #climatechange

Found out today that #OxfordBrookes has #AraNet4 in their classrooms with clear indicators when to open windows or leave the room - when will #oxford follow?

#CovidIsAirborne and #FreshAir is good anyway #Durchlueften

Excellent Uni open day with the youngest son at #OxfordBrookes looks like a very good #photography course.

#Introduction post (tl;dr: I'll be posting mostly about how people write about sexy stuff)

Hi folks! I'm Alon and I am a researcher using #CorpusLinguistics to do #PornStudies — or, less abstractly: investigating how people talk and write about sexual desire, fantasy and identity

(A frequent partner in crime is @mixosaurus)

I teach about writing, editing, online communication, branding and research methods at #OxfordBrookes, where I'm also a union rep for #UCU
