Let’s never forget that Frantz Fanon's dissertation was rejected, which was later published as Black Skin, White Masks. Academia has always tried to push out those who question its colonial, capitalist, racist, and heteropatriarchal foundations.

Palestinians have the right to resist colonialism! Palestinians have the right to resist occupation! Palestinians have the right to resist apartheid! Palestinians have the right to resist displacement! Palestinians have the right to live with dignity in their own land!

This is how I first heard of Ricardo Twumasi Sohail Jannesari and the amazing work they are doing with the launch of Stolen_tools an antiracist journal via this podcast. If you are interested in antiracist qualitative work check them out and take a listen 🎧

As an aspiring anti-colonial academic, I've been thinking about how I can show practical solidarity with Palestinians. The image shows my list of aspirations. I haven't managed even half of this, but I hope there are some useful ideas that can inspire and challenge.

Thoughts on the UK riots: 1. They are inherently violent, and an assault on people's mental health. We all need to feel safe, but especially those who have fled for their lives and feel rootless. "Peaceful protest" that aims to make people feel unsafe and unwelcome don't exist.
