This asshole is out here saying, as president of the most prestigious university in the world, that women don’t advance in academia because they’re not intelligent enough while he’s telling a pedophile he won’t mentor this woman unless she sleeps with him.

My rage is without end.

Every academic career is built on rejection, but we don’t show it.

CVs list publications, grants & awards, not rejected manuscripts, unfunded proposals, or failures.

But those invisible rejections shape us more than our successes ever do.

@irenepaneda.bsky.social's analysis shows: Understanding how gender inequality influences female migration is crucial for formulating migration and development policies as well as gender equality initiatives in both origin and destination countries.

Yet, the role of GBV, one of the most severe forms of gender inequality, remains underexplored at the individual level in shaping women’s migration intentions, as @irenepaneda.bsky.social has shown in her recent article for the WZB-Mitteilungen. bibliothek.wzb.eu/artikel/2025...

#Migration research has long been influenced by a male-centric perspective. Recent evidence explores a “feminization of migration”, with more women migrating as primary movers driven by complex factors — among them, gender inequality and gender-based violence (GBV).

But here’s the hard part:
When ideas are new, interdisciplinary, different, how we say them often matters as much as what we say.

That’s when the ‘voice tax’ kicks in: our voice struggles to be heard because it doesn’t sound familiar.

Not just due to novelty, but due to gender, class or race.

Voice is one of the most talked-about, and least explained, aspects of academic writing.

We’re told to “find it,” but rarely taught how to build it.

I wrote up some reflections here:
