A call by Singaporean academics for academic freedom in local universities - not a new issue but one that urgently needs to be addressed with growing clampdowns on freedom worldwide. academia.sg/editorials/on-nu…

@laavy_k 's pioneer study deals with the "invisible" second generation in Singapore. This case study demonstrates that even when ethnoracial identity is not marked as a form of difference, inclusion into the framework of the nation can be fraught. Full article: doi.org/10.1080/01419870.202…
First article about the second generation in Singapore - a country with about 40% foreign born. My article shows that the ethnoracial dynamics of inter-Asian assimilation and integration here are different to those discussed in most research on N America and Europe. @ERSjournal

If my entire career of research, writing, and teaching only convinces people of one thing, I want it to be how wrongheaded and dangerous this mentality is
Blackface in Singapore again. We need to teach the history and politics of racism in public schools.
Guys look, we really do have racial harmony in Singapore! Kudos to UOL Group Limited and Pan Pacific Hotels Group for hosting these ✨upstanding✨ people at this "Rhythm of The Night" event they deserve to 'kena' award for such a sensitively thought out group costume! #racismwins

Academic colleagues and IIM alumni, please consider signing the statement in support of Prof. Deepak Malghan. His advocacy for inclusion at IIMs has influenced my, and others' work on caste. It earned him a demotion and harassment. For details, see:

You mean mass redundancies, the evisceration of entire disciplines, rampant managerialism, and the fanatic embrace of a profit-driven model of scholarship haven't fostered a climate of open inquiry and big ideas?
Who could've known?! 🤷♂️

This study in @Nature addresses an important issue but erases the discrimination experienced by Asians in academia by lumping them in with white academics. And in this way, it elegantly pulls a racism while pointing out racism (1/7)

People are still doing Blackface in multiracial Singapore today. I comment that without strong legal deterrence this type of reinforcement of power inequalities between racial groups will continue. Thanks to @kimberlylimmy for quoting local activists.
