Girls' school reported to be among first targets of US-Israel strikes on Iran, killing over 50 people. There is no basis for "preventative strikes" in International law; this is, yet again, entirely illegal from the US & Israel. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/...

Israel strikes two schools in Iran, killing more than 50 people

State media says Israeli attack on girls' school in the city of Minab in the south of the country kills dozens.

Remember guys, @pcsunion.bsky.social staff at the BL are on strike for the next two weeks. Please don't cross the picket line to go to reading rooms, attend exhibitions or anything else. They've endured so much on low pay since the cyberattack in 2023 and the least we can do is have their backs now.

Call for Papers for #BISA2026! Exploring the relationship between imperialism, coloniality and environmental degradation. This is a joint call with Colonial, Postcolonial & Decolonial WG, recognising that important work is being done at the intersection of our groups. Deadline Friday 24 October.

Exploring the relationship between imperialism, coloniality and environmental degradation Joint Call for Papers from the Colonial, Postcolonial, and Decolonial Working Group and Environment and Climate Politics Working Group We are putting out this joint call in recognition that many researchers are working at the intersection of our two working groups - and during a time when the realities of this intersection between colonialism, empire, and the environment have never been more clear. This moment makes evident the interconnections between militarism and settler colonialism and genocide and ecocide, and therefore the need to situate our knowledge and approaches within anticolonial, indigenous and translocal perspectives. Recognising the importance of scholarship that addresses these issues, we are calling for papers for BISA2026 that are related to the topics of how imperialism / colonialism / extraction / capitalism are in relationship with environmental degradation. This can be on a material level, where the functions of occupation and extraction lead to environmental destruction, or on a more discursive level, where hierarchies of life are used to justify and naturalise ongoing violence against people and places. Whilst we are keeping this Call quite broad to encourage wide-ranging submissions, some paper topics or research areas might include: • Genocide and its links to environmental destruction, for example in Palestine, DR Congo, and Sudan, to name a few. • Ecological imperialism – theoretical contributions or case studies • Reparative justice and climate change • The construction of new ‘frontiers’ – how imperialism and extraction is moving to new areas such as the deep sea or space • Anticolonial and anti-extractive organising and decarbonization and fossil fuel phase outs • Indigenous approaches on relationality, connectedness and climate justice • The role of academics in perpetuating or resisting these forms of harm Please send your 200-250 word abstrac…

Rümeysa is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met. Many of you came to know her first and foremost as an ICE abductee, seized by a state that wanted to strip her of her humanity. I would like for you to know her in her own words, which are resoundingly human.

“Even God Cannot Hear Us Here”: What I Witnessed Inside an ICE Women’s Prison

Tufts University doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk opens up about her 45 days in a South Louisiana processing facility—and the generous and compassionate women she met.

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.

This article was named the winner of the 2023 Enloe Award. The committee commented: This highly original piece advances underexplored sites for decolonial theorization while embedding evocative met...

What's happening at the International Studies Association (ISA)? A whole catalogue of censorship & punitive actions against sections & caucuses by the ISA leadership is silencing democratic discussion, especially among Global South & marginalised members.. medium.com/@bdsatisa/ce...
