POC

  • Just like in grad school, this document completely erases LGBTQ2+ students and POC and doesn't consider our unique challenges and needs. The only place this document acknowledges LGBTQ2+ people and POC is by telling LGBTQ2+ and POC how to dress - which is really funny because I've been told not to dress like a "raging bull dyke" by an advisor myself, while completing my PhD, so I guess it's appropriate. sarcasm

  • What are the social networking norms in which we are willing to engage--and who are we willing to educate regarding our struggles and our navigation?

Thank you for saying this and not standing for it!
