Your thoughts around positionality are quite thought provoking – my take on the subject is that it has to do with allowing the reader more context into what is written and why, rather than it being about finding fault per se. Of course…Read more

The interview you speak of highlights the discomfort so many white people feel when discussing racism; for some it can be so paralysing that they whisper the word rather than say it out loud!

I can see how frustrating it must be to not have the necessary support in the form of an adequately quiet learning space. With regards to your students, I can imagine this must have been quite challenging for them too.
