She went on by taking them on: Closing a door can sometimes be a survival strategy; she closes the door to the institution by withdrawing herself, her commitments, from it. You can see evidence of her usage if you look carefully at the photo shared in this blog. This is not to say that progression is not a feminist problem.

Racism is how we know it’s about race; that wall, whiteness, or let’s call it what it is, as she has, white supremacy, we come to know intimately as it is what keeps coming up. The second use of the caption “the same door” (p. 202) might seem quite different. The gap between does happen and what should happen can be what you fall through; how you fall through. If walls came up in my research into diversity, doors have come up in my research into complaint. Why complain? For example gender now tends to be used on equal opportunities forms rather than sex – I think gender is used almost like polite speech. We have a right to be concerned (as “citizens”) about immigration; we have a right to be concerned (as “adult human females”) about sex based rights. I think what is going on in anti-trans feminist work is the desire to exclude and police the boundaries of “women” on whatever basis can be found (hence the target is a moving target). Perhaps we got things wrong; when you have been treated as wrong, it can be hard not to inherit that judgment. But I did not notice the walls until after I completed the research – I came back to the data a few years after completing the work having finished a book on happiness. What do learn from how and where and when she turns up? And yet, many do complain. I learnt so much from the work they had to do to keep that complaint going. Sometimes if you have a sense of something wrong, you might check in with others. When you complain about what you come up against, you come up against what you complain about. These histories meet in the formation of London University. As she described: “It’s really hard because people are so overworked and don’t have the time to defend themselves or campaign about everything.”, Complaining can be a hope, an aspiration – it can be what you have to do to breath. This terminated the Qajar Dynasty. And if we need these kinds of feminist and queer spaces, to keep our work going, it takes work to keep these spaces going.

So much harassment today is enacted as a right to be concerned; we have a right to be concerned about immigration (as citizens) or we have a right to be concerned about sex-based rights (as “adult human females”). She uses the time and the space she has been given to make a critique, perhaps a complaint, about the time and space Black feminism and lesbianism has been given. One student who made a complaint about sexual harassment describes, “The scale of the response was so extreme in a way compared to what we were complaining about. Perhaps people of colour become data that can only be converted into theory, into capital, by a white academy. And what they have effectively done with that report is identify one rogue member of staff whose been encouraged to take retirement, and then of course ‘they’ve dealt with the situation’, and the reason they left all of our testimony out of the picture is that they didn’t want to accept exactly why we wanted to talk to them about it in the first place which was that this all was the face of culture.” There is so much that is not faced (include the face of culture) when harassment is located in a rogue member of staff. They were all colleagues of the lecturer who assaulted her. He had four children, each by a different wife. The Second Majlis convened in November 1910 and just like the First Majlis, did not lead to any relevant accomplishment. It is an academic setting. She described further: “You’ve got to pull in as many resources as you can.

With bodies in mind, we can think about the work of diversity and complaint together; to show how they are part of the same work. Riverdale Avenue Books. Today, I am sending a draft to my publisher. But resignation can also be how you refuse to resign yourself to a situation. View Samir Ahmed’s profile on LinkedIn, the world's largest professional community. And then like it suddenly started to seep into me, into her, in this shared conversation about like, how horrible and violent that I am having to receive these things, right, and so that basically put a process in motion. The door is queer because it is not meant to be there; the lab is supposed to be a clean, controlled, and sealed environment. I have used the term “strategic inefficiency” to describe how organizations have an interest in stopping or slowing complaints. 86: 34-53. Making a complaint about harassment can often feel like being harassed all over again, becoming subjected, again, to another’s will. Black women and women of colour too, have had the door closed in our faces; not women, not really, not you.

This white friend enters the scenario as a figure, loaded with value and significance; she is appealing. One of the male professors says things that are particularly offensive. Remember “mind the gap” is familiar to us as advice and a warning. It is just a small step but the book is making its way slowly into the world. 86: 34-53. [4] We have to become good readers here about how narratives of danger work. Removing T (also I, also Q) is shutting the door, the same door, on those who are part of a shared struggle against forms of power and authority that work by restricting ideas of what life can be, what it means to be a woman or man or not a woman or not a man, to be both, to be neither, which restrict who we can love; how we can love. In this conclusion, I reflect on the significance of how complaints can lead you to find out about other complaints (and thus to find others who complained). She said that “an unexpected little gift,” was how other students could come to her: “they know you are out there and they can reach out to you.” A complaint in taking you back can point forward, to those who come after who can receive something from you because of what you tried to do, even though you did not get through, even though all you seemed to have done was scratch the surface. At other times, that you disrupt usage teaches us about a cause. [3] The schools provided me with a way of considering how utilitarianism travelled throughout empire not only as a body of ideas or as a way of justifying colonialism as increasing happiness, as I explored in The Promise of Happiness (2010), but also as a set of practices aimed at creating “a useful class.” See also my 2017 post, Useful, which explains how I made use of Bentham and includes some of my key sources. I could hear an audience, the sounds, the groans, sometimes laughter, but I could not see anyone. Stripped of all his remaining powers, Ahmad Shah went into exile with his family in 1923. Since then I have interviewed students, academics and administrators about their experience of the complaint process. Complaints can also be stopped by a yes, by a nod, by the appearance of being heard. The question of why, why complain, help us to pick up other pieces of the story.

[2] It is interesting to note here that presenting the use research as a power-point changed how I presented the book. A body can announce a complaint. This is why I called diversity workers institutional plumbers. Thank you if you do pick up and read What’s the Use? What appears to be giving up can be a refusal to give in. Over the past years friends as well as strangers have expressed concern, worry even, for my welfare, because of my choice to stay close to scenes of institutional violence, the same scenes that led me to leave my post and a profession that I had loved.
