💥 Our new issue "Black Indigeneities" is out! It's urgent to follow this issue’s contributors when they note that very notions of Blackness and Indigeneity emerge from an epistemological framework focusing on European settler colonialism (more particularly in North Atlantic, but not exclusively).

Today, on #InternationalWorkersDay, I've given two teachouts - on academic mobility, borders and the hostile environment, and on reading workload models, as part of our @ducu.bsky.social #NoToCuts strike week. A few thoughts: 👇
BREAKING: Early this moring in Ypsi, Michigan the FBI/police raided the homes of Univ. of Mich. Pro-palestinian protestors, including a @CommunityMvt Builders member. They refused to show warrants, seized electronics & personal items. Temporarily holding 8 people. Updates to come
Trans women are women, trans men are men. I’m sorry so many smother their hearts with hate and won’t let you be. As though life isn’t hard enough.
For the first time since WWII an extreme right party is #1 in the German polls. Anti-fascist economic policy is urgently needed. Instead the new coalition agenda entails: - cut profit tax - end 8 hr workday - open tap for defense, austerity for the rest - weaken social security
This is a big deal: the most prestigious prize in Germany for junior scholars across fields & a sign that the German research establishment is ready to acknowledge the importance of feminist philosophy The prize is for Manon Garcia's "philosophical studies with high social and political relevance"

Universities are often quick to "celebrate" BHM. Yet that "celebration" is often not backed by concrete intellectual engagement with what may be possible if all of humanity is centred in knowledge creation. Then "decolonisation" and EDI are easy to turn back on. folukeafrica.com/african-futu...

I & Pol Bargues will be representing the @jisb.bsky.social team @isanet.bsky.social Annual Conference. If you have an idea for a SI or an article, get in touch so that we can discuss.
This morning, M23 entered #Bukavu and took control of key locations including the governor’s residence and Ruzizi 1 border crossing. Amidst broader confusion, M23 entry had been erroneously reported since Friday night owing to inconclusive videos circulating on social media.
My thoughts are with Bukavu, where friends, colleagues and all civilians are bracing for a new cycle of violence, with the M23 advancing to the city.
