If we're not in academia to create safe spaces, Black graduate students get pushed out. If they, by some miracle, finish their PhDs despite the hurdles, it's accompanied by trauma and health issues. Honestly I'm so fed up that I'm trying to figure out if DAIR can create a university of some sort, seriously. Because it's so depressing seeing the state of affairs.
Almost every one of us have been through that. Ω
