I’ve been in around ten meetings (supposedly) addressing anti racism at university in the past ten days... Some with staff, some with students, some with union ppl. Some reflections (a long rambling & tired THREAD)
When faced with multiple stories about incidences of racism, the institution and white colleagues are FAR MORE concerned with reputational damage at a collective or individual level, than actually addressing the rampant racism being evidenced

Apparently xenofeminism is “one of the most exciting intellectual trends in contemporary feminism” and I’ve certainly experienced a number of enthused individuals excitedly recommending the XFM to me over the past few years (warning! long thread)
*DISCLAIMER*: not to say I don’t appreciate how XFM pushes for an ambitious & uncompromising vision of feminism which can contend w/ current&future challenges in the politics of technology- I was enthused when i first encountered it that others were doing things w/ cyberfeminism
