Submitted my social-justice related paper to a US-based journal around 8am EST&rejected by10am. This is allegedly after 3 internal members “checked” the manuscript. Well done journal coordinating with three academics so early on a Monday morning. #academiccencorship at its best. #teachingispolitical

Finally out! In this reflective paper I discussed my own privileges & vulnerability as a teacher educator, using the lenses of intersectionality & postdigital research. Available open access: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @baal-lesj-sig.bsky.social @pdse.bsky.social @uofgtesol.bsky.social

We've a new book coming out based on research into #NewScots Refugee Integration, an international perspective. You can get a discount of 50% on the hard copy (it will also be open access). It is full of radical rethinking & inspiring contributions from @multi-ling-mat.bsky.social
