Thread on #networking that extends beyond Hollywood to academics too. The thing I see grad students forget most is lateral networking. Find ppl you like in your field, ppl you can hang w/ at the annual conference & shit. When you all graduate you can support each others’ careers.
Some of my closest academic friends & I met at Society for Disability Studies or @nwsa as grad students at panels or, let’s be honest, events with free food/booze. Now we coauthor, invite each other to our campuses for talks, & support one another on the job market or TT.
Don’t just network to meet the people whose books you read in coursework. Network to meet the people whose new books you’ll assign in your own classes in a few years. Make friends. Academic is too bleak otherwise. #AcademicTwitter #PhDChat

Holy shit. Just accidentally binged @ramy on @hulu. It was so fucking good yall. Such complex, interesting narratives; at times very uncomfortable or dark, but somehow consistently amusing & humorously real.
It reminds me a little of Master of None, but with more depth? It’s just gets more powerful with every episode. I did not mean to watch it in one day but I did. I fucking did.
Highly recommend for children of immigrants & millennials raised in religious households. It’s not my story but Lord if I didn’t feel some of those episodes in my bones.

What I’m saying is: Go watch #Ramy.

Me e-mailing every editor who has accepted my work but not published it yet to confirm publication dates for my tenure file CV.
Look, there is one book chapter that I wrote in 2015 and the last I heard (in Jan 2018) it was supposed to be published in Oct 2018. It’s April 2019 & I haven’t heard from the editors in over a year so...
I currently have 5 articles/chapters/essays accepted & 5 more under review. Only 4 of these pieces were submitted in 2018 or 2019, the rest have been languishing in academic publishing purgatory for years. Remember kids: don’t rely on any single publication for tenure.

I’ve had multiple ppl tell me that if I don’t get tenure I have a lawsuit on my hands & yet a part of me is still like: Racism & sexism are wild & I trust no white man’s “meritocracy”. I’ll feel confident I have tenure when I see the paperwork that says so & not a second sooner.
There are too many horror stories of talented, accomplished women of color being denied tenure, particularly at elite universities. There are too many stories of people working themselves into health crises & strained relationships for 6 yrs only to be told no.
You can’t ask me to put faith in a system that has harmed & failed so many people I admire. I will believe it when I see it. And in the meantime, I’ll be spending this summer preparing myself for what I do if it’s a no.

📌 #Thread about dressing of Ancient India. #Hinduism

No sir. They didnt even wore bikinis that time. Actually India and Hinduism started many years before birth of "Mother Marry" herself 😌🚩

That time Women used to stay in bare chest.
2) I had to delete my 2nd post bcz ppl told me that sita used 2 wear clothes.I did my best 2 knw abt the real facts.
In 1 verse Ravana describd hr a breast full of jewels.
In other its written she was wearing silk clothes maybeshe was wearing clothes in lower part of her body.
(3/n) In many art of vedic era and ancient hindu temple. We can clearly see the statues of Indian goddess in bare chest with jewellery covering their breast.

My article on mainstream accommodation of radical right politics by conventional gov. parties Fidesz and Smer, as well as counter-strategies of far-right ‘originals’ after 2015 is out (in German). Here a #thread with an English summary. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
I show that Fidesz and Smer did not ‘just’ adopt restrictive asylum positions but justified them with nativist narratives of defense/threat to ‘Nation’ from constructed 'Others' and ideas. RR originals, even in HU, were however able to react by ‘repackaging’ their nativist supply
The essay builds and expands on insights developed in my book which has received the Gero Erdmann Comparative Area Studies Award 2018 from the Zeitschrift für Vergleichende Politikwissenschaft @DVPW_Vergleich routledge.com/Radical-Right-…

I saw a lot of you talking about this on the TL yesterday. Will be doing a #thread shortly on the psychological aspects of 'Stress interviews'
The first thing that came to mind when I read this were the two interviews I've given for my PhD. Both times I came out feeling completely undeserving of doing one, and I cleared both.
Both panels had nothing good to say about the proposal I had submitted and no one acknowledged that I had worked five years in the field, doing a six day, 70 hour week for most part and still managed to turn in an application and clear an entrance exam

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

THREAD: Something many have overlooked is that the GOP just voted to financially devastate grad students by taxing their tuition waivers. This is ridiculous. Let's say a grad student gets a stipend of $30k and a tuition waiver...this is common. 1/
Since the tuition waiver isn't income for the student, it's not currently taxed as income. The #GOPTaxScam just changed that. Now, a grad student will be taxed on their stipend and tuition waiver...meaning your taxable amount just went from $30k to $80k or more. 2/
That would mean the student could owe $10k or so in taxes. Only very wealthy students will be able to afford grad school. This really harms our research competitiveness, too. 3/
