I am a critical migration studies scholar.
There is a need for more literature on how migration among Afro-Caribbean women migrants can foster a sense of queer liberation. Particularly, it is essential to consider how these migrants experience freedom in other areas.

Stim culture says “be yourself,” but the world still tells Black autistic women that our joy is “too much,” our emotions “too loud.” We deserve to exist unmasked, unjudged, and unapologetic 🦋

This article debunks the Canadian immigration rhetoric that "Canada is accepting toward immigrants." We also must consider how the politics of anti-Black racism ties into xenophobia within Canadian immigration regimes.

Beaman and Clerge (2024) further add that "This is where a
global Blackness approach helps to expand the categorical and experiential breath
of migration, racism, and the urban literature" (p.1739). @jean23bean.bsky.social
Beaman and Clerge (2024) write, "Migration scholarship is largely silent about the Transatlantic Slave Trade (1400s-1800s) and its centrality to modern migration processes" (p.1739).

"The detainees reportedly included a mix of Hyundai Motor Group affiliate employees and LG Energy Solution headquarters staff who were in the United States on business."

This all sounds awful and I really wonder what kind of reaction will come from this.

Excellent readings! Yes, Afro-Caribbean literature is a necessity that must be taught at every university!
Syllabus uploading! I love to teach Afro-Caribbean literature! Literature, in part, radically responds to the supposed objectivity of History

@huntercollege.bsky.social

Hence in my class we will also tune to Black poetics, including dancehall, for a philosophy of history itself. 🎶💿

Never be afraid to ask for help if you're unsure about something. Being aware of your strengths and weaknesses are important. And always embrace feedback from others. People wouldn't take the time to give you lengthy feedback if they did not care about you and your success.
