it's hilarious that a few days after i finished babel, i went to history class and our topic visited colonization, and my (white) professor said that teaching history within education is politicized and his example was how slavery and colonization are taught in most history classes as europe's invasion of other continents and enslavement of the native peoples there, thus racializing the issue of the slave trade. he asked why don't history classes focus on the fact slavery was a practice found in many cultures other than europe and that europeans also enslaved other europeans, which is a fair point... however he commented that "the version of history that's taught is a way for [european nations] to pay reparations i suppose" and it's an example how education distorts historical events through the lens of "modern politics".

and i'm sitting there like... colonization will always be tied to race. whether we like it or not, that period of history had forcibly tied race to colony, and we feel those effects to this day. that is why it's still important to talk about it. we breathe the consequences, live the consequences, and see the consequences of colony. we are products of a bloody, inequal, and unfair history that still poisons our lives today.

along the lecture, i interjected that any and all forms of colonization was bad and he claimed he could think of pax romana as one good form of colonization. the roman empire's golden age was only golden if you were roman, sir.

as an asian in academia studying outside her home country, i have to cosplay babel every day and i am already so tired. I've been missing my professors back home because they spoke against colony and oppression with fire and brimstone and passion and here they turn away from the blood empire or they see little wrong with it.

dark academia is aptly named because by god is it fucking dark here.

I had a dream where I actually got the chance to read fiction over the vac. But it was just a dream.

{20/11/23}

– Tutorial prep seems to keep me awake even if it is being done in ghostly silence. Plus, it has taken me two months to realise that it is significantly easier to get a seat on the top floor of the Rad Cam if you come when it’s hall dinnertime for students in colleges.

This is one part of The Duke Humfrey's Library which was added by Sir Thomas Bodley (who the Bodleian is now named after) who offered to restore it in 1598. When he was attending Oxford University, the library did not even have a ceiling as it had been stripped and abandoned during the Reformation.
