Palestine Solidarity Campaign @pscupdates.bsky.social · last yr.

Tomorrow Cambridge University will go to the High Court seeking to impose an unprecedented ban on protests in solidarity with Palestine from key sites of the university. This is a major assault on longstanding principles of freedom of expression and assembly on campus. (1/8)

Feels weird that on Thanksgiving I officially signed the contract for my contribution to the Cambridge Companion on Classics and Race. My chapter is called "Navigating Classics and Negotiating Indigeneity from Aristotle to the Present"

can't believe an institution that billed part of its restructuring as centering Indigenous knowledge has the audacity to be so hostile and call the same cops that contribute to violence in humboldt (i can believe this but pissed this isn't part of the conversation around cal poly humboldt)
