This is the travesty, the spectacle, the injustice of colonial-capitalism whereby wealthy westerners pay hundreds of thousand of dollars to to fetishize century-old watery grave, while poor migrants drown by the hundreds but are largely ignored. #Titanic #GreeceBoatDisaster
Rich Titanic tourists sink in submarine: Whole world watches as navies spare no expense to find them. Hundreds of migrants sink in overcrowded boat: Hope you can swim, losers.
My take on what the initial decisions on REF mean for impact. Summary: these are mainly tweaks that address issues for which most institutions already found work-arounds. You can read the full announcement here repository.jisc.ac.uk/9148/1/researc…
Participatory Research Levels Level 0 - No engagement in research with the communities that are most affected by an issue being explored Level 1 - Harmful & unethical consultation - good intentions / bad practice Level 2 - Minimal & occasional consultation, with no harm
