For our final Newcastle Postcolonial Research Group talk this semester, we’re joined by the brilliant Ankhi Mukherjee, who’ll speak on “Black British Literature Decolonising the Curriculum” on May 7 at Newcastle University. Folks in and around Newcastle - come through!

Tonight at Columbia Jewish students led a full Shabbat service at the Gaza solidarity encampment. Minutes later Muslim students had their evening prayer service. All surrounded by love.

Please do let the world know: there are ways to live that aren’t being a paranoid bigot.

Late to the disco, but super excited for the release of this. Had a blast working with this lot and the phenomenal Contemporaries @ Post45 editors. Enjoy on Monday ❤

Great thread here on Kate's new book, coming out soon 👀 Grateful for RTs 👊🏻

Almost £137k is NOTHING.

The REF OA news (I know it is a consultation, but this is something that OA zealots have wanted for a long time), has got under my skin. I had to buy my own webcam in the pandemic. I provide my own laptop. I pay for learned society membership. I pay for software 1/2

Not to mention that this deliberately puts the onus on authors/universities to pay big commercial ‘academic’ publishers to publish our work! As if doing all the reviewing, editing and writing for free wasn’t enough.

sorry but by week 10 the semester is basically over. anything beyond spring break in my classroom is what I like to call Da Permanent State of Emergency where the sovereign decision reveals the exposure of zoē to unqualified violence as the nomos of modernity

This is absolute nonsense Kemi and you know it.
I met you alongside other colleagues over a year and a half ago and the definition was explained to you in detail - you were asked to detail your concerns / any objections and the basis of it .
You DID NOT follow up.
Instead all…

Beautiful Monica Popescu, gone too soon, too young. I will miss my most generous, vibrant, brilliant friend. Her intellectual legacy of reinventing Cold War studies thru incisive interpretations of African literature is an extraordinary loss. Rest in peace & power ❤️🌹

Ieri notte, durante un’operazione militare israeliana, un alloggio in cui avevano trovato rifugio i nostri colleghi è stato colpito ad Al Mawasi, a Khan Younis. Almeno 2 famigliari del nostro personale sono stati uccisi e altre 6 persone sono rimaste ferite.

Agnes Callard hey The Point Magazine-- aren't you running a whole summer symposium supposedly on being a public humanities and politics with this woman? Reductive tweet dichotomies about enslavement and edgelord prose aren't a great look. Might wanna rethink that marketing. And her prose.

Exciting talk by Terri Tomsky on imperial amnesia and the Guantánamo prison complex. Happeninf Newcastle Postcolonial Research Group tomorrow. Come join us!

Perché quella israeliana a Gaza non è una guerra contro Hamas, ma una guerra di sterminio contro i palestinesi. 🧵

The images from Rafah are unbearable.

What is there left to say? Do our political leaders not see what we see? Is there really no limit to what Palestinians must endure?

Enough! Stop equivocating. Stop stalling. Stop hiding — and call for an immediate ceasefire, now.
