Just got to fully read this powerful piece. Bravo to the brilliant team that put together. “Colonialism operates by removing people's dignity as knowers and denying them self-determination.” And good on The Lancet richard horton et al for commissioning.

“[hooks] thought that denying the usefulness of theory & denying the status of theory to the work of Black women were two sides of the same anti-intellectual coin. Theory was itself a form of practice, a collective project of naming and meaning-making with liberatory potential.”

"Why is the term “health security” used when perhaps simply saying “public health” would do?" Please read our new essay — led by University of Sydney PhD researcher Delaram Akhavein — asking a question we should all ask whenever we say "health security": Why is ‘public health’ not enough?

How might we resist the pull to frame resilience as an outcome, state, or attribute — rather than a process that unfolds, whether the outcome is +ve or -ve? Please read our new essay — led by University of Sydney PhD researcher Kyaw Myat Thu — saying: "analyse it as a learning process!"

Alex de Waal: "Gaza is unique in the annals of starvation because of the simplicity of this calculation. In any other humanitarian calamity, a host of other factors complicate the picture, and overall food availability is a poor guide to levels of hunger. In Somalia or Sudan, for

So shameful and spineless of BBC. You've lost all respect and all claims to truth telling during this, the supreme moral test of our lifetime. The largest mass slaughter and ethnic cleansing of civilians in modern times is under way and you are too timid to show a documentary

It should be clear to everyone at this point that the only reasonable course of action is a military coalition of states to impose a no-fly zone around Gaza, physically stop Israel's genocidal slaughter, and rush aid in to prevent mass starvation.

I never imagined being part of a society where you MUST explain WHY genocide, ethnic cleansing, exclusive settler colonialism, "nations" built on mythological/fabricated histories, & Apartheid are bad.

I wish people were more critical of the claims Ramaphosa & Johann Rupert were making about “illegal aliens” flooding the borders and being responsible for rhe high crime rate. Placing the criminality in South Africa on migrants is just as problematic as what Trump is doing in 🇺🇸.

For anyone concerned about racism, note that the worst possible outcome of any racist logic is precisely what’s happening to the Palestinians in Gaza. Dehumanization accepted as common sense to systematically murder, plunder, burn, torture a ppl while blaming them for their death

I think the modal view amongst academics is "universities are in serious need of reform, but not this crazy-ass vindictive shit".
