#CeasefireNOW

“I’m running out of ways to describe the horrors hitting children here.” UNICEF Spokesperson James Elder makes an appeal for the children in Gaza after intense Israeli strikes on the besieged enclave.

I’m very excited about this fully FUNDED PhD, which I’ll be supervising along with UCL colleagues. Archives, critical history, Kew, environmentalism, communities – I’d be tempted! tinyurl.com/5n8x38k5

The brutal collective punishment in #Gaza must end. For 2 months, we have seen the Israeli forces' indiscriminate attacks on Gaza target Palestinian civilians and healthcare. We continue to call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire. It all #MustStopNow.

The genocide in Gaza is the most intense, visible and industrial in living memory. Yet when the West flaunts concern at the UN about an ‘upsurge in atrocity crimes’, it does so only in relation to Ukraine, Syria and Uyghurs in China. Read my latest here: declassifieduk.org/the-west-agoni…

Destroying the originals sounds like a very bad idea...

This is what ethnic cleansing looks like, and every single leader who defended or enabled it should be in jail.

Three of these fab Fellowships are now available! If you define yourself as D/deaf, disabled or neurodiverse and want a career in Museums then this might be the perfect opportunity! Plus for local people, Dover Museum is one of the host institutions! #Dover #Folkestone #Kent

This was an amazing set of sessions with EKC Canterbury College. We LOVED getting the costumes out (and Eddie Reindeers Buttons costume is my new favourite) and hearing the fabulous ideas from the students for their final showcase. So creative! #panto #Dame #cinderella #pantomime

Brilliant exhibition marking 40 years since the Miners' Strike by Uni Kent Special Collections. Lots of great stuff from the British Stand-Up Comedy Archive in there.

🧡 This #RefugeeWeek I'm celebrating #OurHome by expanding my knowledge and perspectives. Listening to podcasts that tell refugee stories, I want to learn and connect with refugees and make the UK, #OurHome, the inclusive and welcoming place it should be. open.spotify.com/show/054iWXRZd…

The 2024 #HBCartoonFest officially starts tomorrow with this show at the @SeasideMuseum: Golden Years, exhibition marking the 50th anniversary of the British Cartoon Archive at Uni Kent Special Collections. Live event next Sunday (4 August) at Beach Creative CIC

We offer our utmost solidarity to Muslim communities and people of colour affected by the racist violence unfolding across the country.

We stand with all those targeted in these hateful attacks, many of whom came to the UK having already fled violence and persecution. Solidarity with all local communities & their countless acts of resistance, bravery, and support. Love will always triumph over hate.

I wasn't sure if I would have time to pull this together for #SouthAsianHeritageMonth, but right now it feels vital that I make time. So - do book this behind the scenes tour next week. #AntiRacism #AntiViolence #Archives #Tour #Solidarity
