Great to see this new Handbook of Cultural Geographies out, with chapters by Newcastle Geography’s @peterhopkins.bsky.social on Intersection, @anoop79.bsky.social & Daniel Barwick on Black Lives, @alisonstenning.bsky.social on Playing, and @bagelwoman.bsky.social (& Noam Leshem) on Witness.
one of many reasons why insisting Israel tricked the US into this or is operating it like a puppet is not only antisemitic but also stupid analysis that gets in the way of understanding what's happening and taking action.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Human Geography at Leicester is facing closure. Staff contracts are to end in June 2026; students are to be relocated to other universities, or taught out by a maximum of two (!) teaching-only staff. Other departments and subjects are facing closure, too. Please join the demo!
Your weekly reminder that voter "concern" with immigration doesn't correspond to actual immigration levels. It corresponds to the amount of coverage the media gives immigration. This an entirely self-fulfilling mess, and it is entirely pointless.

I am thrilled to share with you the organisation of the international workshop "Futures of Gender and Sexuality in Europe". As advances in equality and recognition face growing resistance this workshop brings together international researchers to reflect on these issues @nclpolitics.bsky.social
I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

This. An emergency recall of parliament on a weekend for British Steel. Nothing at all for UK HE which employs far more people, has already shed 10,000 academic jobs, with several institutions on the brink of collapse. A reminder: we train all the doctors, teachers, engineers, nurses, lawyers &c &c
