Has anyone done this yet for POC academics? https://dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/guest-post-the-day-i-broke-some-twitter-feeds-insights-into-sexism-in-academia-part-1/ …https://twitter.com/gbaucom/status/872446177580593152 …

Being an N=1 offers little protection when discussing racism, sexism & misogynoir in workplace. Esp if you speak out & receive no support.
Absolutely. It's tough to share. White women can expect other WW to support them. WOC can't count on this. Also fear career repercussions.

-
Risking microaggressions from WW diminishing WOC experiences & knowledge. WW led conversations unwelcoming (Women's March/ SciMarch).
-
Exactly. WW diminish experience or use WOC experiences 4 personal gain. I've seen & experienced it too many times to count. No real allyship
-
THIS times infinity! Using WOC's for personal gain. Exploitative.
-
WW will also compare their experiences to racism to as proxy for "what's happening to me is REALLY bad" E.g. https://twitter.com/i/moments/872818895496892416 …
-
Yup! Or in my case WW in my dept said I brought the racism when I entered so I was the problem and not their blatant distain of my work
-
I'm sorry this happened to you! All too familiar. WW react poorly when WOC point out racism. They deny, cry, accuse, threaten.All deflection
-
Yup and thanks! I switched depts and wrote up why to the provost. Nothing was done, yet, but I vowed that they ain't goin to kill me!
-
So glad you're not in that department anymore. Hope something comes of the report.
