Really need to get off social media and continue in Sara Ahmed's Living a feminist life.

This week’s Philosophy Unleashed (the last before the Easter break) looks at the institutionally racist, misogynistic, and homophobic London Met police force and calls out their commissioner, Mark Rowley, for refusing to use the word “institutional”. It also looks at institutional prejudices baked into schools. https://www.philosophyunleashed.com/theblog/151-institutionally-afraid-on-the-importance-of-acknowledging-institutional-prejudice

Oooph, going through Sara Ahmed's Complaint! about "blanking" (stonewalling) and it hits close to home.

Senior faculty and admin don't even need to contradict you, they can just ignore you.

It happened to me when I was a sessional. They know you are disposable. The long silence and moving on as if you've not even spoken makes you feel like you must be the crazy one, but it's very strategic and very intentional.

"In Complaint! Sara Ahmed examines what we can learn about power from those who complain about abuses of power. Drawing on oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have made complaints about harassment, bullying, and unequal working conditions at universities, Ahmed explores the gap between what is supposed to happen when complaints are made and what actually happens."
