Link will come separately because my phone just decided it is no longer interested in pasting links...
Closing dates are all 1 June. They do not review on a rolling basis so take the time to complete your packet well & get feedback on applications.

They are particularity welcoming applications from those from an ethnic minority as they are under-represented in the School of Law.
The @Uni_of_Essex is part of the Disability Confident scheme so any candidate who has a disability & meets all essential criteria will be offered an interview.

If you have a disability that makes it difficult to complete the online form, the packet includes a number to call.
I am not on the hiring committee & have no input into the short-list, but I can tell you that we're a nice, shockingly drama-free department. I actually like my colleagues & like coming to my job.

Our corporate governance role will support some super cool work we're doing &
will be part of our growing & interesting business & commercial law teaching & research teams. If you do #BizHumanRights, you can be a part of that *plus* our human rights teaching & @EssexHRC research communities (like @anil_yv, @JCLawrence13 & me!).
Also, I know effusiveness on Twittrr seems disingenuous but I legit like these people & this department. They're supportive on my bad days & celebratory on the good ones (~40 of them showed up for my last pre-covid bday party). They make me a better person, teacher & scholar.
And when we can be around big groups again, we'll have regularly scheduled drinks & outings. You won't *have to* join but I'm 96.5% sure that if you do you'll enjoy yourself.

🧵 I have (another) update on my friends' experience with racial discrimination at @ZalesJewelers. A before, I'm going to use this to #TeachBHR #BizHumanRights on reparations. When the @winlawjournal symposium videos are up, you can see me do this here:

wilj.org/about/symposiu…
This is the letter my friends received from @ZalesJewelers regarding the outcome of his complaint of racial discrimination when he was a customer in one of their stores.

(sorry for the weird cropping... I'm old. Not ancient like @scottjshapiro, but still old.)

As a reminder from the earlier 🧵🧵: all businesses, including @zales, have a responsibility to respect all internationally recognized human rights (including the right to non-discrimination on the basis of race).

🧵
So it's been 3 days since I tweeted this story about my friend facing racist treatment @ZalesJewelers. Zales asked for a contact. I gave them a phone number. They never called. My friend's wife reached out via FB & got a reply...
And now I'm going to use my expertise to explain why this answer is an inadequate #remedy & why @ZalesJewelers has failed from a #BizHumanRights perspective to address #Racism in its operations.

The tl;dr: Zales needs to do better. This is shameful.

2/
So when businesses (@ZalesJewelers) causes or contributes to a negative impact on human rights -- in this case, a violation of the right to non-discrimination -- it owes the victim (my friend & his family) an adequate remedy.

Remember how I said you can't crowdsource a 'race & int'l law' reading list? Also true about decolonizing your curriculum. Geraldo's twitter-sourcing provides an important entry point to a tough convo we need to have re: IEL education in light of the decolonizing movement.
1/
First, white men 'invented' modern IEL by imposing it on others via colonialism (IEL *practice* predates colonialism, but Europeans forget that). If you start there, you can start the process of decolonizing IEL by asking how others responded to realities imposed on them.
2/
Given how & why white men invented modern IEL, you are fooling yourself if you think white men are the ones coming up with the answers for how to deconstruct & rethink it. So, your second step is asking who is coming up with interesting deconstructions, responses, & reforms?

THREAD: This has popped up in my feed a few times & I've held off on saying anything because I appreciate that people are trying, but I've also pledged to have difficult conversations on race with white people so POC don't have to. So here we go white Twitter academia:
1/
We are in the midst of a significant moment in history in which we are being challenged to confront our role in structural racism. There are two ways in which we can respond to this moment in time: (1) perpetuate structures that privilege us at the expense of POC while
2/
claiming to work against structural racism or (2) actually work against structural racism, which means we often have to take a back seat, hold off on our quick-fixes that will make us feel good but provide very little benefit to anyone.

A thread on misogyny, abuse, & the Royal Family:

I don't like talking about the Royal Family, but after reading yet another story quoting #MeganMarkle's dad, I think the news media needs to keep a few things in mind when quoting #ThomasMarkle & @piersmorgan:

[1]
Based on @piersmorgan's statements:
1) Megan befriended him online
2) They met in person
3) Her relationship w/ Harry went public
4) PM starts dishing about her & their friendship on air, presumably to gain ratings
5) She stops speaking to him
6) He complains she's a snob.

[2]
Any girl who has lived through 7th grade knows this story: guy wants to use you for his popularity, claims publicly he got further with you than he did, then calls you a snob when you no longer speak to him.

It's manipulative & steeped in misogyny.
