A Conversation with a social inhibitor

Tonight, I had a conversation with a social inhibitor

---
It happens all the time that someone do not agree with you on something
or does not have the same worldview as you
What can you possibly do?
Negotiate and discuss with civility
It does not have to result in an agreement but at least each of you would have raised his own voice
---
It is harder when you are with a social inhibitor
--
Who is a social inhibitor?
My definition is : Someone who completely denigrate a ounce of humanity in some individuals because they have different attributes, characteristics than their own.

What can you do?
Highlight than they are being discriminatory and leave them to think about their attitude and behaviour.
If they do not change, what can you do? just keep telling them when their behaviour is inappropriate.
if you are getting tired, cut the tie.
if you are not...
---
Any ideas?

Ph.D Research - Can you make yourself irreplaceable?

A while ago, I had dinner with this lovely young eastern European woman. It was our first encounter. She has been living in the UK for only two weeks. she had already a job and an accommodation. We started talking about our academic achievement. She mentioned that she had a master in digital literature. I suggested that she could possibly do her Ph.D at the University of Reading. She shrugged and said  'I have been working as a research administrator in a university for two years. I was the one who convinced students not to do their Ph.D.  Ph.D students slave themselves away for three years of their life. They carry out valuable research, write papers and go to conference, yet they are underpaid and they will probably not get a job at the end of it. Academia is an industry where Ph.D are a herd being truthfully exploited.' It was partially true. I started my Ph.D to escape the dogma of some other mainstream form of exploitation I wanted to be my own project. Academ...

How can you get a Ph.D.Scholarship?

Every two weeks or so I am meeting up with my Ph.D supervisors to talk about my research topic. At out last meeting, we finalise my research question... --- 2 Years ago, 1 month after starting my new job, 3 month after finishing my studies, it was clear for me that I wanted to go back to academia. I set up myself to gain a bit of experience and look for a new job. 18 month ago, I had two interviews, one for a knowledge transfer partnership leading to Ph.D with Birmingham City University and one for a Ph.D with Cranfield University on Sustainability and Communications. Deep inside it was not really what I was looking for. 12 month ago, I almost gave up finding the Ph.D. Then, I changed my mind. I systematically send emails to to find the gap where I could jump in 9 month ago I applied for Design Star with the intention to investigate how design for sustainable behaviour and eco-design will contribute to the concept of the Circular Economy. 2 month ago, I started my Ph...

My Cranfield University Review

Cranfield University is a post-graduate only university situated between Bedford and Milton Keynes.  I completed at Cranfield University a Mdes in Design for Innovation and Sustainability in their Centre for Competitive Design between 2011-2012. I was elected as the first Green Officer for the Student Union. I lived on Campus. What were the reasons I chose to study at Cranfield University? Dr Justyna Rybicka completed the same Master at Cranfield a year prior to me, and she encouraged me warmly to attend the university. I was fascinated by the master topic. I was at the time at the University of Northampton scrutinising the reasons why consumers consume so much knowing that the rest of the world is in a pitiful state through a marketing degree. The perspective of understanding further design processes and ways of developing sustainable products were appealing. How was your experience at Cranfield University? My experience was OK. I made some good friends, leading me to...
