The UC's 2024 voluntary resolution agreement on shared ancestry discrimination complaints granted the federal government more oversight of university operations than Title VI remedies allow. The Trump admin immediately exploited the wide scope of UC's agreement. See p8. www.aaup.org/reports-publ...

Attending a nonviolent protest is not a suspendable offense, let alone an arrestable one. See link below for actions to support UC Irvine Global Studies Professor Tiffany Willoughby-Herard, and demand that UC Irvine administration drop all disciplinary measures against her.

2 years ago, Dr. Tiffany Willoughby-Herard was arrested at @ucirvine.bsky.social as UCI chose to repress its Palestine encampment & fail its constitutional obligations. Her disciplinary case now rests w/the Chancellor. Let's ensure he knows what's right, sign/share! sites.google.com/view/withdra...

My interview: “I came to this country as an infant and became a U.S. citizen,” Roswell Encina said. “So sitting there, on the Fourth of July, I couldn’t help but think about the promise of America and the work still required to protect it.” www.advocate.com/news/people/...

“Every university in Gaza has been flattened; hundreds of schools, archives, and libraries have been burned to the ground… At risk now are not only the Palestinian people and Gaza’s history—and those are stakes high enough—but the AHA’s integrity as a professional and historical association.”

The NARA San Francisco office is *the* place to study histories of US immigration and western histories of all sorts. Its staff are extraordinarily valuable for researchers, historians, and citizens who visit daily to learn more about these topics. This is terrible. www.kqed.org/news/1208890...

There are 3 more weeks for AHA members @historians.org to vote in this year's election. The Democracy Slate will lead AHA to steward the profession on behalf of all historians, every field, every commitment. I voted bc I want to see an AHA that partners w/ us in advocacy, not impede urgent work.

"Why do these boards adopt the consciousness of dominant classes in regard to Palestine? We need serious inquiry into how members serving on elected boards are pulled into “the overseer class”, who take on the task of disciplining others on behalf of dominant class." academeblog.org/2026/06/18/a...

Endlessly disappointed by historians willing to accept the Dan David Prize. This appeal outlines why no historian who respects their own work or supports our discipline should lend this prize their name.

Briony Neilson@brionyneilson.bsky.social · 2mo ago

This appeal by Palestinians to recipients of the Dan David Prize to reject the award to help dismantle Israel's system of apartheid was penned three years ago. The need to reject these prizes has never been more urgent. bdsmovement.net/news/palesti...
