Our @mybisa.bsky.social CPD annual workshop will be happening on 1 December, on Recalibrating our ethical compass: academia in times of crisis. You can find the full CfP below and attached – the deadline for expressions of interest is 5 November 2025! @niharikaan.bsky.social

For the morning crowd - please do sign and share. Every single one of my former #DisabilityStudies colleagues at Liverpool Hope is at risk of redundancy. This isn't just about individuals; it's a threat to the field itself.

The latest racist spasm in UK politics would not have been complete without middlebrow white male pundits rushing to tell us all to calm down about it. The rise of fascism has been enabled at every turn by these people's pathetic incompetence and inability to name what is staring them in the face

Trans people also did it WITHOUT the Labour Party. Unison spearheaded it. Longstanding trans rights groups like TransActual, TransLucent, FGEN, and Trans Safety Network spread the word. Thousands of trans individuals and allies took it from there. Labour made this rally necessary, not possible.

Just a reminder that this was done in just over two days WITHOUT a billionaire bankrolling the movement. We did this through solidarity and community. Say what you want about LGBTQIA+ people, but we know how to organise.

again and again and yet again the privileged’s fantasies of oppression take precedence over the marginalised’s real, daily, violent oppression

solidarity with all the trans, genderqueer and non-binary comrades; this is truly horrific. in times of deep loss, these verses from an anticolonial song often give me strength: 'tu zinda to zindagi ki jeet par yaqeen kar' if you are alive, believe that life will be victorious, no matter what! ✊

we'll be teaching a course on postcolonial feminisms that we developed with love and care last year. come, think with us in Vienna this summer. discussion topics include reflexivity, politics of location, anti-imperial feminisms among a packed five-day experiential, anticolonial feminist learning.

read this book in the midst of an unexpected illness. enjoyed parts but i often wonder how so much of writing by white middle-class authors is devoid of structural analysis. who is even allowed to winter when showing up at work becomes an absolute necessity; who can rest when the world is burning?

This is essential reading for scholars of militarism, militarisation and feminist security studies

my new article that analyses the colonial logics and underpinnings of militarisation, and builds a critique of liberal feminist IR analyses and research agendas is now out: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... the article also lays the conceptual framework of my forthcoming book.
