Working in HE right now is being told to focus while you hear about friends losing their jobs, being constantly told that what you would do is useless, but still having to fake that everything is ok and nothing can go wrong...how?

I left a country in which a government without vision or direction was driving us directly to the far right, and 5 years later, I am in a country with a government without vision or direction that is leading us to the far right.

Something that always strikes me as foreign is the UK academics' use of acronyms - I used to believe I couldn't understand them because I'm Argentinean, but now I know that also the majority of UK academics don't know what these mean. Is a lot of people just faking it.

This article asks how queer/trans archiving, curating, and displaying material were articulated as activism in Latin America, debating the cultural and political meanings of these practices in a global context.

Very interesting paper by Fraccaroli & Simonetto (@psimonetto.bsky.social) which explores LGBTQ + archival practices in Latin America and highlights that archives share but also contest the meaning and materiality of memory of how LGBTQ+ people are remembered: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

I am in Argentina doing fieldwork for my new research project. Here you can see the laboratory of the world to come: fascism. It's extremely scary; I've never seen anything like this before. It is not an exaggeration to say that many people working in public institutions live with fear.
