Thankyou @sayashk, @priyakalot and @randomwalker for a great workshop. It's 7:15 in UK: I'll go cook. Much is as I suspected, and I've had my dismayed face when seeing fairly basic errors again and again. Loved @MominMMalik, reminding me of my philosophy of science studies.
Now for @rajiinio. Head in hands yet again. 'Hidden stratification' going to be useful to me, for sure.

“Ian’s research on the anti-racist university was ahead of its time. He was brave enough to say that universities could be institutionally racist before they began to reluctantly acknowledge their part in slavery & colonialism” A lovely tribute @sebulous ❤️theguardian.com/education/2022…
