Doctoral defence in Sámi today, in Sámi allaskuvla in Kautokeino: Anni Magga-Eira defending her dissertation in political science examining the laws and legal principles related to the land in reindeer husbandry/herding. 🙌
Sámi University of Applied Sciences is the only all-Sámi university in the world and one of very few all-Indigenous higher education institutions.

Which #mastodon instance would you recommend to host the institutional account for an interdisciplinary academic department in the UK?

scholar.social would be great, but it's not admitting more users. Other alternatives I've considered: sciences.social/ (although not all of us are social scientists), h-net.social (not all of us from humanities) or datasci.social (not all of us are data scientists)

Mastodon hosted on sciences.socialsciences.socialNon-profit, ad-free social media for social scientists. Join thousands of social scientists here and across the fediverse.

Now, a different university I worked got very crossed for an illustration of comic-style characters for a recruitment flyer, as they worried about (mis)representation and that they illustration could be offensive (though I had large discussion with the investigators and it was shown to some representative of the community for feedback).

Now in the case of my graphic ethnography, I think an comic-style document is nice

Have to say, the new ASA Career Center is exponentially better than the previous job bank system. No login required to search, nice interface that rivals other job sites, and email alerts that take you straight to the job ad.

Kudos to whoever got this done!

"The real deficit that workers from lower social-class origins suffer in school is not intellectual but cultural: They know less than those from higher class origins about what the pathways to education are and how to make the most of them. Evidence from elite colleges indicates that cultural capital matters more than financial capital in predicting which students will succeed."

Harvard Business Review · The Forgotten Dimension of DiversityWorkers who come from lower social-class origins in the United States are 32% less likely to become managers than those who come from higher social-class origins. That represents a disadvantage even greater than the one experienced by women compared with men (27%) or Blacks compared with whites (25%). Social class disadvantage in the workplace prevails in every major economy around the world. In discriminating against people who come from a lower social class, we’re discriminating against a majority of the workforce—a grossly harmful indulgence, especially when you consider what happens if you don’t discriminate. According to the author’s research, GDP is higher per capita in countries where more managers come from lower social-class origins. Companies pay a lot of attention to issues of gender and race, and for very good reason. In this article, the author argues that it’s time to focus equally on social class disadvantage. In doing so, he notes, firms reinforce their efforts to combat other forms of disadvantage. He explores the root causes of the problem and lays out the most promising interventions that are emerging from research and practice to help remediate it.

BoD: 'Take down this dangerous article magisterially framing the taboo of taboo 'Nakba' as a legal concept'

CLR: 'It's valid and serious scholarship, we won't take it down'

If it wasn't tragic, it would be hilarious.

If you've led or attended a Power Hour for a GRC, I'd like to hear what strategies worked well and what didn't.

I'll be running one later this month. One issue I've seen in past power hours is power differentials. Specifically, PIs dominate in small-group discussions. Did you do anything to address this?

If you are a trainee/ECR, did the power hour empower you? If so how, or if not what could have been improved?

Please boost.

"We call upon our colleagues in the homeland and internationally to support our steadfast attempts to defend and preserve our universities for the sake of the future of our people, and our ability to remain on our Palestinian land in Gaza. We built these universities from tents. And from tents, with the support of our friends, we will rebuild them once again."
