at ALT/Jisc event today. The last time I was in Birkbeck was in 2010, when I decided to retrain as a psychologist and took evening classes here. It was also a turmolous time when student riots were taking place. Birkbeck will be a special place as incubator of my academic dreams ❤️

Highly recommend this read to anyone working on workplace culture, equity, or simply wondering why things feel "off" even when everything looks fine on paper.

We hear a lot of buzz about “interdisciplinary work” these days. But how can we truly be interdisciplinary when we discourage curiosity beyond the boundaries of a single field? When we view people with wide-ranging interests as unfocused, or worse, unserious?

It’s a quiet kind of exclusion. As if we are welcome—as long as we don’t speak too loudly, or at all. Many choose to stay quiet, to blend in.
