British Academy President's statement on the UK's higher education crisis, July 2026.

I’m so bored with the utterly trivial intellectual and informational level that mainstream, otherwise very educated, Germans conduct their discussions about Palestine. Read a book m8

I can’t believe I’ve just heard about the University of Exeter campus being built in Egypt while, in Devon, 500+ staff are at risk of redundancy. It’s giving farce this time around.

Maybe its how US focussed this app is but people aren’t worried enough in general about the fact that fascists basically assured to come to power in germany soon.

This looks terrific. It’s now on my ‘to read and teach’ list. Congratulations, @galarexer.bsky.social

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Insightful reviews from my colleagues at @sociowarwick.bsky.social on Shourideh Molavi's crucial book about Israeli settler colonialism and environmental warfare

Happy publication day to my first book 🤓

UCL IOE announces partnership w Gaza’s three non-profit universities Al-Aqsa University, Al Azhar University, Islamic University of Gaza Congratulations Profs Li Wei and Rachel Rosen and colleagues for making this possible on our side Let’s go @bdsucl.bsky.social! www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/202...

Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

examples of what the FBI included as evidence of "Antifa terrorism" in the Prairieland case: -Narcan spray -Anarchist tattoos -a highlighted copy of Emergent Strategy -a zine made of a 2019 review of Hereditary and Midsommar from @reproutopia.bsky.social -First Aid Kits -seeds for garden vegetables

What is happening to the humanities at British universities? Here is my report, published in today's FAZ:

You know that UK HE is truly f*cked when a scholar like @lalehkhalili.bsky.social, one of the most prolific and important writers in the humanities & social sciences today, is at risk of redundancy (obv also if lesser known/junior scholars made redundant, but this case just shows how far we've come)

Higher education policy under the last few UK governments seems to be shaping up into an experiment in how you sustain a knowledge economy without knowledge

I am once again begging universities to realise that staff - academic, professional services, estates, all of them - are the product they are trying to sell. Without staff there is nothing to sell. No amount of flashy buildings will replace staff in universities. UKHE is in freefall.

a German, and how to write a book about Palestine during an ongoing genocide. This is a work of anti-colonial thought, with a ton of very detailed historical footnotes, which also tell my own journey to anti-Zionism. I’ve been working on this for 10(!) years and am v proud of what it has become! 2/2

“Demographic Anxieties” can now be preordered (pub date June 30)! It shows how the Israeli settler-colonial state and its borders shape Palestinian women’s reproductive freedom, but it is also an ethnography working through what it means to research Palestine as 1/2 www.ucpress.edu/books/demogr...

this is a masterpiece

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

A. lived in Germany since he was two months and last year gained German citizenship. Now he’s been stripped of it because of pro-Palestinian Instagram posts, in a disturbing legal case that points to the rise of citizenship-on-probation.

“I think the answer to why they’re being very clearly misrepresented as hate marches is to undermine the hundreds and thousands of people who are turning up on the street. It’s to distract from the government’s complicity in these crimes." www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Antisemitism in Britain - what is going on? I talked to @arielleangel.bsky.social and Em Hilton of @naamoduk.bsky.social for the latest episode of the @jewishcurrents.bsky.social podcast. jewishcurrents.org/the-wrong-wa...

Look obviously having to live in a country governed like this is not great, but it will also be very very funny if the eternally useless Labour Party manage to blow up the government without actually removing the prime minister.

How does one even react to such daily savagery

No relief for anyone in Lebanon. Israel is hammering Beirut so that Bibi can appear independent of Washington to his fanatic murderous base, a base that can only be sated with Arab blood. Hundreds of casualties just in the last 12 hours. Israel is the most dangerously country on earth.

a nuclear armed rogue state, having started a holy war of aggression with its illegally nuclear-armed vassal, is now pledging to commit a genocide

I love this!

In less than a month, "Israel has struck at least 128 medical facilities and ambulances across south Lebanon, killing 40 healthcare workers and wounding 107." Israel violates international law a matter of state policy www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Sharing on behalf of my @cunygcsociology.bsky.social friend/colleague Ruth Milkman who isn't on social media. Here's her statement re a problematic censoring of an obituary for Michael Burawoy to appear in ASA Footnotes #soctwitter #socsky #sociology docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

A good time to read @lalehkhalili.bsky.social's book 'Sinews of War and Trade: Shipping and Capitalism in the Arabian Peninsula'. Or if you don't have time to do that, how about the review-essay I wrote about the book on my Substack during a previous war-related shipping crisis:

I wrote about Lyd (2023) and Two Blue Lines (2015) for Films for the Feminist Classroom, in a piece titled "Permission to Imagine: Palestinian Liberation and the Failures of Liberal Democracy." Lyd is such a beautiful and inventive film. Watch the trailer here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LypA...

Aaaaand then they came for the people who denounced the open letter! Bei dem Jungle World Redakteur brennen die Synapsen durch. Wie könnte das nur passieren? Wenn die kuffiye antisemitisch ist, wie die all behaupten, dann kann sie sich damit nicht ablichten lassen! Wo sind wir denn

I was in NYC last night, and I didn’t even know how much I (and everyone else) needed a shared political moment that just felt hopeful and exciting (and not cynical, for once!) 🥲 we need feelings like this on the left, too!

This Monday!!
