1/ This is the most persistent myth of academia I have encountered in my career: there is no disinterested position from which to objectively study/teach history, culture, etc. You have to be white to believe this. The medieval university we inherited was political & still is.

And it will be Canada’s loss, intellectually, financially, and reputationally.
So much for internationalization of research.

After a few years of studying the @IRCC-imposed #VisaBarrier to internationalizing research in Canada, we have come to the same conclusion: if visa-required researchers are collaborating, knowledge mobilization activities must take place elsewhere.
I never imagined we would still be here more than eight months later. I keep struggling with how to keep going and what to do, but all the groups tirelessly saying kaddish for Palestine are giving me hope. youtube.com/watch?v=ycIeP0_j…

To put as fine a point on it as possible: seeking asylum already is a legal pathway. We don't need to "expand" it. We need to simply follow the law and protect it.
