This song is called Maglie strette (tight-knit sweaters) because that’s literally what it’s about: that feeling of never being at ease with oneself because one isn’t at ease in the space assigned to them. Listen on your favourite platform: linktr.ee/magliestrette
Tomorrow, we continue to debate the militarization of our university spaces
Tomorrow I'll be opening up an event on housing justice at the Sapienza University of Rome. I look forward to this day of exchange, which will include scholars and organisers whom I admire for their work. With deep thanks to my comrade Osvaldo Costantini. Info (ITA) contropiano.org/interventi/2...
New track out now. Tutta la vita ad allargarle col gomito Tutta la vita a sentirmi scomodo Solo maglie strette, Tutta la vita a sperare in uno specchio Tutta la vita a volerlo già morto Solo maglie strette, maglie strette. Ascolta qui: linktr.ee/magliestrette

I had the great pleasure of writing the foreword to this important new report from the @tninstitute.bsky.social on the relationships between Universities and the EU border regime. The report is a must read. Download it.
New report: The EU paid universities more than €100 million to build Europe’s border regime Universities provide research, analysis, data and technology for border and migration control - and lend an illusion of scientific legitimacy to ethically questionable policies. tni.org/borderlabs
