Better late than never for my feedback on your blog post haha – apologies.
I completely understand this reflection you’ve communicated. When I was young I too grew up with the experience of shaming or even fearing people with disabilities because of the “exclusive” environment I was brought up in (this exclusiveness was an illusion). They say…Read more

It was good seeing you and others at the fashion show! In regards to Palestine, Like Andrea I am also happy that this has been mentioned. religion and faith is complex especially when it does intersect with race and culture.

The Telegraph video was so strange, expeacilly the ending comment haha – but also I wasn’t surprised. If Cambridge University are adopting Advance HE, so that it embraces diversity, then I guess they are moving in the right direction.

Apologies for the laaaaate reply…
This is eye opening and very relevant. Intersectionality is obviously such a complex concept especially if you do a case by case study on particular individuals lived experience.

You have a unique educational experience, where empowerment and religious epistemic knowledge was championed. Where Rekis writes the problem with having a dominant religion and secular thinking is that it dismisses and misrepresents other faiths. I had this during my schooling days, where all I was taught about was Christianity or Catholicism, but…Read more

Well done with completing your last post. I was so late with mine.

I 100% agree with you in regards to Asif Sadiq commentary “to create a fair space to talk about differences and produce transformative changes, lies with the individual, not the institutions”.

It’s interesting how understanding intersection and the stories of people can create a broader empathetic lens. This is especially true when there are people who exist in certain spaces or do certain practices that society has historically rejected that connection.
