Fascinating thread. Singing this song in assembly as a child was the closest I got to antiracist education. And now I learn there was more to it.

I am so sorry for what Dr Kamna Patel and Prof Kate Sang were put through. Bullying of the highest order and all for WHAT? Expressing concerns over genocide. What a shameful and ugly legacy for a leader, to have enabled this AND also ignored anti-Blackness in funding decisions.

Looking forward to sharing my thoughts on posthuman teacher education tomorrow Teacher Education Research and Innovation Cluster :) I’ll be talking affirmative ethics, rhizomes, power, and the role of the ‘pedagogista’ 🌱

The exchange beneath the clip shared is telling IMO. PM primarily interesting for what he represents, not as an individual.

Huge congratulations to Darren on completing his PhD! Yes!

Books are made from other books. Here are some that helped me navigate my trip to Moscow in Afropean, as I searched for Cold War links to Africa.

Many congratulations to Dr Darren Chetty, aka Darren Chetty, for a stellar defence of his excellent thesis at IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education & Society today.

Hard-wrought, hard-hitting, but ultimately hopeful and helpful work on #Philosophy4Children .

It was my pleasure to supervise the latter stages.

I’ve resigned from the Labour Party.
