My book is here!

In the UK, women of #bangladeshi background experience some of the highest levels of employment disadvantage, although participation in #HE is increasing. I wanted to understand more about these inequities & the role of #class #ethnicity and #gender

🧵👇 ImageImageImage
Ch 1 outlines the history of Bangladeshi migration to the UK & current employment and education inequities, and describes the research aims and methods
Ch 2 presents #Bourdieu's theory of practice as sociological method foregrounding the relational nature of social inequities & mutual interplay of structure/agency - draws on Diane Reay, @bevskeggs, @ingram_nicola, Louise Archer, @DerronWallace, @NicolaRollock, @M_Franceschelli

Who are the #Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vysyas & Shudras?

#Thread
In #Hinduism, neither a caste structure nor any divisions of labour are established for a certain vocation of life with watertight compartments.
The extraordinarily divine compere is devoid of any divisions of labour, social communalisms, or other unimportant issues.
The 4 "so-called" classes r castes represent the different stages of human growth (yogam).
It is untrue to say that #Jatis must pursue a certain line of work in the outside world. All of this discourse is the pitiful outcome of Toto's ignorance of the genuine meaning of our texts

"The erosion of meaningful culture, the domination of corporate & state media [] the loss of a knowledgable audience. And as one sees w/ the Russophobic response to Ukraine, the entire pandemic only served as a precursor to some complete mental collapse."

"And perhaps the best place (or one of them) to start is with ideas of #autonomy, #AI, and #tech (#media). For #automation and the internet have both, in their own ways, contributed hugely to the layers of mystification surrounding everything in the #capitalist west today."
"#AI seeks to achieve the same control over mental processes that #scientific management sought to achieve over physical #labour [in 2nd industrial revolution] through a process of rationalization, fragmentation, mechanization and routinization."

Good morning! In about 10 minutes, we will be expanding on our discussion of Individual Causes of Delinquency by looking at #gender & #delinquency

I look forward to your questions & following along. How do you identify?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
The term #gender is complex, so what elements of delinquency are we going to examine in this discussion?

We are going to try to answer the question as to why gender differences are significant in the study of delinquency

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley Image
I think it is essential to acknowledge that gender identity is much more complex than differences between male & female offending

🧵HILO: mis clases online.
Muchas veces me han preguntado por aquí qué uso para dar mis clases online, así que les haré un resumen de algunas de las herramientas esperando a que les sea útil en algún momento😊
#Class #Online #Science
Para las clases en forma sincrona uso la plataforma ZOOM. De este modo puedo generar los links de las clases desde el inicio de semestre. Como los horarios son fijos, las clases las organizo en el ZOOM usando la opción de reuniones recurrentes.
De esta forma el link de cada clase, cada día, es el mismo y es más sencillo para los estudiantes que éstos sean fijos 😊 Estas clases las grabo para luego compartirlas con los estudiantes.

We love our #STEAM friends 😍 Discover the #Roobopoli initiative handled by @Perlatecnica and @_Bluenet_ 👏and aiming to create an educational experience in the field of #SmartCities

#STEAM #education #creativity #programming Image
Roobopoli is a tiny smart city, a miniature city, where the life of the inhabitants called Roobo, is assisted by modern #technologies, the same available in real cities, but reproduced in scale for educational, testing and simulation purposes 🏙️
As part of the Roobopoli project, one of the main activities consists in the construction and programming of #smart #vehicles called Roobokart, which will have to move independently on the roads of Roobopoli 🚘

Personal submission to @ScotGovJustice Consultation now available on @UmbrellaLane website

A thread of main arguments to save anyone having to read through what became a second thesis 🙄 on these important issues 1/8

#NotEqualNotSafe
@scotgov ‘s sweeping definition of prostitution as inherently violence renders invisible actual acts of abuse in the sex industry; continues an ineffective& dangerous reliance on criminal justice approaches that fosters unsafe working practices& deters victims to seek redress 2/8
The push to criminalise clients is a misplaced moralistic agenda put forward at the expense of a much needed social justice & public health approach in policy & service provision - that centres the varied needs of people this consultation states intention to support 3/8

Another great episode in this series, this time touching on #academia, #class and #traumainformed understandings of distress.

I love how @themichjam's #livedexperience informs her understanding of the change we need to see in #mentalhealth systems.

Highlights...

1/11
"You're such an inspiration!"

"Are you safe to be here?"

On responses from mental health professionals when identifying as person with #livedexperience during guest lectures.

2/11
"Over the years, I just got angry and that's why I decided to start speaking about it"

On the choosing to share #livedexperience as a form of activism.

Conversations about the 'left-behind white working class' have made a return to the political scene in recent weeks. Below is a thread about Runnymede's recent work in this area and how pitting 'race' and class against one another serves nobody well /1
It is worth noting that this is not a race row and pitting children from different ethnic backgrounds against each other is highly damaging with regards to social cohesion, it ignores the large achievement gap among White British children from different socio-economic backgrounds
The current conception of the working class in the public debate is often based on a mixture of misinformation and mythology, fails to recognise working-class voices and agency, increases division across racial lines, and is divorced from the lived realities /2

The Aristocracy - Survival of the Fittest via @YouTube
Actually, this documentary has set my mind into commotion and took me back into those years when the New #Labour and #Blair came into power in the late 1990s in the #UK.
We eagerly watched what reforms under the #collectivists would imply, as the UK had a manifest #class system.
The worse thing which #Blair could do, at that time, was to remove the #hereditary #peers from the House of #Lords.
This particular political decision had far-reaching consequences for the #British Society,as a vernacular mindset that rejected #evolution & tradition jointly arose

1/ Seven lessons from seven months of #teaching #remotely in the post Covid-19 world.

Shorter sessions.

Rather than running a 90 minute #class break it down into 4 x 15 minute session.

Each session has a central point, a framework, an example and an application exercise.
2/ An exercise needs to be time bound and interactive. Group work would be great if you could pull it off.

For instance, in financial modeling, I share half completed worksheets that need to be completed in the next 15 minutes.

In pitching, I ask them to critique a pitch.
3/ As #teachers our objective is to #teach. Can't teach without getting your students to do hands on work.

Things work differently in remote setting. You can explain all you want but till your students do the thing you are teaching with their hands, your job is not done.

Personal "data #ownership" - "pure" or otherwise - is a #misnomer, and #rights frameworks clearly struggle when predicated upon notions of #DataSubjects - and when the #value (to others) of information about us lies largely in its #relationships (to others').
I'd unpack @martintisne's first point a bit further; the impacts we experience are of course based in the way we are #discriminated (for or against) by those who treat us as members of a #class by virtue of shared #characteristics on which they pass #judgement - but is that...
