Now, more than ever, Gaza needs its hospitals. But Israel is systematically dismantling the health system and forcing hospitals to close. Email your MP to #SaveGazaHospitals. Medical Aid for Palestinians map.org.uk/campaigns/save…

Durham staff and students say no to genocide and yes to ceasefire Durham UCU (@ducu.bsky.social)

Really enjoyed reading this incisive paper developing concepts of the (non)encounter and digital slow violence in the everyday lives of asylum seekers in the UK - a brilliant example of careful ethnographic work informing theory.

'the politics of representation matters, historically and as we move forward. But not speaking out before is not a reason to be silent now and in the future.' Editorial statement on violence against children and a call for a ceasefire in Gaza tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Loved this article on zine ecologies & creative environmentalisms packed full of wonderful examples from UG ExeterGeography students - thanks for sharing @CathCartwright www-tandfonline-com.ezphost.dur.ac.uk/doi/full/10.10…

Leaders around the world are speaking out against the horrifying slaughter of citizens trying to access food in northern #Gaza. Where is the condemnation and call for Israel to respect international law from Rishi Sunak? The UK must not be silent.

Tomorrow we're gathering from 13.00 at the ‘What Lies Beneath Us’ map (opposite Whitechurch) for a #StandWithGaza walkout. Join us in solidarity with Palestine as we demand Durham Uni 1)Upholds academic freedom, freedom of expression and the right to protest and demonstrate.

In 2017 we were paying £46 a day for nursery care, now we’re paying £81.50 a day. As a FT student I’m not eligible for the 2yr childcare hours offering. The barriers to access work/study for parents in England just keep coming- where is the support? #ChildcareCrisis #ParentsCount

And so yesterday, Alaa had to take the heartbreaking step, of fleeing from Rafah to Khan Younis with her three older children, leaving Yaman in the care of the medical staff of Emirates Hospital. Knowing full well what Israel has done at other hospitals. 19/

Still looking for interviewees for my pilot project! I'll be conducting interviews until the end of July, so please continue sharing this call with your friends and networks. UK-based folks only please :)

Belgium's Ghent University decides to cut ties with 3 Israeli research centers that cooperate with the Israeli military in the production of weapons. The decision comes following 10 days of protests by students.

Looking for recommendations 👀 for training courses or resources on good practice for peer reviewing articles for social sciences/geography journals?

3 days ago I gave birth to our third child warm, safe, supported by medical professionals & loving family. The early days & weeks are still tough. People birthing & caring for babies in Gaza are living a nightmare almost beyond comprehension. theguardian.com/global-develop…

New report by HEPI and the GW4 Alliance (Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter Universities) calls on Government to fix the gap in childcare support for postgraduate students buff.ly/468RCow GW4 Alliance

Great to see this being highlighted by Higher Education Policy Institute & GW4 Alliance but what PGR parents really want is parity with employees - 30 hours funded childcare & tax free top ups. In Wales Students are explicitly included in the eligibility criteria for 30 hours - why not the rest of UK?

Today, thousands of people joined hands around Parliament to demand our new government to stop arming Israel to help end the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. We won't stop until Palestine is free. 🇵🇸 #CeasefireNOW #FreePalestine

Appalling response from HEPI director Nick Hillman - shouting down the PGR parents who are supposed to be at the heart of the recent Higher Education Policy Institute and GW4 Alliance report on gaps in provision with Higher Education Policy Institute blocking those who have critiqued the report for not going far enough

If a woman doesn’t speak English, she is 25 times (!!!) more likely to die in childbirth in the UK. Horrific theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/a…

BREAKING: Over 40 MPs from seven parties have backed my motion calling on the Government to impose sanctions on Israel. Israel is carrying out war crimes. We need real action from Governments to force it to stop.
