42 m. ago How ‘authenticity’ at work can become a trap for people of color

In her debut book Authentic, Jodi-Ann Burey argues the call to ‘bring your full self’ can leave people of color exposedIn the opening pages of Authentic: The Myth of Bringing Your Full Self to Work, the writer Jodi-Ann Burey issues a provocation: the commonplace injunctions to “come as you are” or “bring your full, authentic self to work” are not benevolent calls for self-expression – they’re traps. Burey’s debut book – a combination of memoir, research, cultural commentary and interviews – seeks to unmask how companies co-opt identity, shifting the burden of institutional change onto individual workers who are already vulnerable.The impetus for the book lies partially in Burey’s own career trajectory: various roles across corporate retail, startups, and in international development, filtered through her experience as a Black disabled woman. The dual posture that Burey experiences – a push and pull between asserting oneself and seeking protection – is the engine of Authentic. Contin...

1 hour ago I never thought I'd say this, but I now understand the appeal of home schooling | Emma Brockes

More and more parents in England are opting their kids out of the education system. I could never do it, but ‘wellbeing days’ do sound niceIf you want to get rich, a friend of mine said recently, set up an exam centre. We were talking about her decision to home school – or unschool, or home educate, depending on your tribal affiliation – her two children, making her simultaneously part of a broader trend and also somewhat strange to herself. The cliche of home schooling still leans on the idea of a fringe choice made by fanatical parents who produce a poorly socialised child – if you said of a child: “They’re home schooled”, you’d trigger a knowing look that implied: “Say no more.”Well – maybe – all that is changing. Home schooling is still fringe, but the numbers are soaring. In 2024, UK councils received 66,000 notifications of children moving to education at home, more than double the number from 2020 and bringing up the total to some 111,700 children in England. Given that there...

2 h. ago The Perfect Neighbor review – a notorious shooting through the eye of a Florida cop’s body

Geeta Gandbhir’s study of the Ajike Owens killing turns police footage into a devastating lens on fear, race and a nation fatally addicted to firearmsThe true crime genre has a new medium, or maybe even a whole new language and grammar: police body cam footage. Faces of victims, witnesses and possible perpetrators loom up to the cameras, sometimes in the harsh glare of headlights or flashlights as the officers approach, their faces and voices eloquent of wariness or panic or indignation or suspiciously contrived innocence. And we often incidentally glimpse the faces of the officers themselves, one standing by blankly while the other asks the questions with what sometimes seems like extraordinary diffidence – though perhaps this is because they know they are being recorded.We have already had the Netflix true-crime documentary American Murder: Gabby Petito, about the slaying of an Instagram influencer by her boyfriend, whose main point of interest was body cam footage and in which, a...
