A long thread 📜on being an immigrant, a ECR and a parent in Aotearoa New Zealand, though I believe these experiences echo others across the world. #immigrant #precarious #AcademicTwitter #parent
My son Manu was born 7 days ago. However, since I am not on a permanent contract, I did not get any paid parental leave. Instead HR offered me the ‘choice’ of taking 2 weeks of unpaid leave. The word ‘choice’ here is key...
...because given my fixed term employment, my salary is barely enough to support a family of 3 and now 4. So, there really isn’t a choice. The choice is between having money to afford a roof over our head, food on our plates, utilities paid or not. Not much of a choice.
Wondering what’s happening with #socialassistance reform in Ontario?
Here’s a new report from @maytree_canada on Service Transformation in Ontario Works.
It's lengthy, so I’ve tried to capture the threads with, well, this thread🧵. #onpoli

Though the gov repealed some of its early decisions on income support, there are significant changes underway on the service delivery side, in particular changes to the employment and skills training offered to #OntarioWorks recipients that we need to pay attention to.
Today, I will try my hand at live tweeting insights from "A #Home of One's Own", a two-day #researchworkshop on socially & economically #marginalised women's experiences of and negotiations with #genderinequalities in #informalurbanhousing in India.
This workshop has been organised by #JadavpurUniversity (School of Women's Studies), #RabindraBharathiUniversity (Centre for Women's Studies) and #Parichiti, a women's organisation. All three are research partners on a #GCRF project funded by @GoldsmithsUoL.
Since Oct 2018, I have collaborated with Dr. Henrike Donner, who is leading it, to develop #researchcollaborations with #educational and #development organisations in India to implement a pilot study on #genderurbanhousing. This workshop marks the end of the first phase.
