Last week I handed in my resignation at @RGTrustSchool which has been the most defining role of my career. I started there in 2017 when the school opened and experienced changing it from the failing UTC model to the school it is today. 1/

This year I hit a decade in teaching 👩🏽‍🏫✨ Although I disagree with a lot of what our government does, it was touching to receive the recognition today, and I thank my lovely @UST_schools @UST_CEO for nominating me.

🚨🇿🇦🇵🇸 South Africa President Ramaphosa yesterday: "We were taught by Nelson Mandela that our freedom will never be complete until the freedom of the Palestinians is also attained. I have never felt so proud as I felt today."

A🧵I was walking back home after dropping my car off to the garage. I saw an elderly South Asian woman just managed to sit on a sidewall. I walked up to her to check if she was okay. I spoke in Hindi, she spoke in Punjabi. Me: Resting Auntie? Auntie: Yes, I'm out of breath, ...

It's day 90 of Israel's war on life in Gaza (About 100,000 Palestinians killed, injured, & under the rubble). This is the most documented genocide in history. Still, I feel that there are some basic issues that need to be spelled out again, so here we go 🧵:

If you haven’t already read South Africa’s case submitted to the International Court of Justice for israel’s acts of genocide against the Palestinian people, you should take the time to do so. But here are some highlighted portions, section by section ⬇️

I am looking for a post-doctoral researcher to join this brilliant research project looking at how the topics of Empire, Migration and belonging are taught in English schools. Here is the link to the advert it closes on 14th Nov:  jobs.ac.uk/job/DDX141/pos…
