Almost two years ago I set up #blackademics as part of #blacksky so that faculty of African descent had a place to be in community with one another. As the academic years begins I want to renew my call for us to be in conversation here, to use the space @rude1.blacksky.team has provided. 1/

There are 270 black professors in the UK. Out of 26.000. About 1%. But somehow journalists who clearly have no idea of how academic hiring works manage to create an illusion of "wokeness" having taken over hiring decisions at universities. www.hesa.ac.uk/news/19-02-2...
