As the conflict continues, about 5,500 women are due to give birth in #Gaza over the next two weeks:

Disheartened that a screening in Bombay of the seminal Arna's Children by Juliano Mer-Khamis has been equated with terror-glorification and being pro-Hamas. Sharmistha Saha is a serious theatre scholar who we look forward to meeting and learning from in Warwick in 2 weeks time.

There's been a lot of excellent resource sharing webpages on Palestine but I'm struggling to find good academic responses to the situation in Gaza (for something that I'm currently working on). I know that this is a hard ask but I would be grateful for any suggestions/leads.

Breaking my social media hiatus for this Parsiana review of Kathryn Hansen's work on Parsi theatre. It had been sitting at the back of my throat for 15 years. Here's hoping we can now stop reducing the 19th century South Asian stage to a utopic site of communal harmony.
