Today is the last day of the 16 days of Activism. Everyday we shared the voices of Somali refugee women. I hope you can share their stories at: kirandeep-kaur.com/16-days-o… #GBV #OrangeTheWorld #16daysofActivism2021 #refugeestories @UN_Women @Refugees @SWAM93971184

Last weekend I attend @oxfordconted short course in magical realism (MR). Reflecting on the day I wrote how MR reflects the lived experiences of the subaltern and their desire to attain rights. A magical and fantastical desire in itself. (thread)

Academic form and structure are colonising. We know how our words as researchers shape the beings of the subjects of our research. Can we break our forms of writing to stop colonising and allow space for otherised modes to narrate the lives we seek to understand?

I have been left with more questions than answers. But am happy to debate these questions.
Please check out my blog to see more about the course and my reflections on rights and borders.

I've been teaching academic skills on and off for the past 12 years. Universities are continually sidelining writing (whole other issue). More than that we're missing out on the opportunity to decolonise academic writing practices...
Here are my thoughts. kirandeep-kaur.com/post/don-…

You can't effectively exploit a people if you don't dominate them first, which means violently stripping them of their autonomy to exist otherwise. This is important to consider when thinking about why coloniality is constitutive of capitalism, rather than derivative.
We hope our article promotes discussion on the practice of decolonising our minds to enhance ethical practices in human rights research in the Global South @sjndlovugatshen @RecaldeVela @decolonize_this @nairita_rc @benjamingrama

Publication processes that prioritise Western modalities of writing over voices w/lived experience don’t give space for non-academic ways of communicating or differing levels of digital literacy & academic writing skills: fmreview.org/issue70/kaur #Refugees #Inclusion @kkaurwrites

Especially as a black person, I have been in so many spaces where I am belittled or underestimated or overlooked or not taken seriously. So for me, Dr. will never just be a “degree” or “title”. And to dismiss it as such misses and seeks to erase an incredible amount of insight.
@PostdocVoice @PhDVoice so question. I'm publishing a response article with a group of colleagues and we want to use a collective name as the first name so that we can show that it was an equal contribution. (our topic is also about epistemic justice). 1/2
