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!

I finally received my visa! I'll be a Visiting Research Scholar at NYU's Department of Social & Cultural Analysis this fall. I'll be working on my new project on environmental racism/repro health in London, but I'd be more than happy to also speak about Palestine/repro injustice in your class/uni

I always feel this weird mixture of grief-cum-pride, both an analytical grasp of class and an intimate affective reaction, whenever I understand that people who are my age and have extremely productive academic careers have most likely grown up to parents who are also writers/professors/academics

This scheme is still open, and includes Palestine:

Does anyone have any book/article recs on the methodological and ethical questions of studying up (i.e., ethnographic studies of politicians, corporations, government employees)?

I'm starting my second major ethnographic research project after the PhD and I can't really tell yet what it is (shifting to a new subfield, doing ethnography as a "researcher" not just a student, less time contraints in terms of outcomes but also life in your mid 30s), but this is challenging!

Our commentary on reproductive genocide in Gaza has now been featured on the SRHM podcast so you can hear a conversation with Hala and me on Spotify and Apple Podcasts: open.spotify.com/episode/1QjF... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n... Our commentary is here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Someone needs to write about the affective implications of AI knowledge production; after marking a bunch of essays that were either fully or partially written by AI, I feel dumb/numb, angry, and exhausted. They make me crave human mistakes, typos, unfinished thoughts, a wonky structure etc. 😭

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

Starvation in Gaza, key findings

so many articulations of gender 🤝 empire these days

This is so scary! And infuriating

Re-reading Tobi Haslett's n+1 BLM piece in preparation for teaching "Race, Resistance and Modernity" tomorrow; such a poetic & powerful piece! I read it first in 2021, and it's so accurate how what he calls an "amnesiac discourse" has shaped how we remember that moment through a liberal lens today

Pinning my new project: blackness and assisted reproduction. Looking to interview Black parents, Black egg/sperm donors and clinicians and fertility workers who've worked with Black patients. Drop me a DM! #sociology #reproduction #interviews #research

Last week in “Race, Resistance and Modernity” students collectively mapped the emergence of Third Worldism (League against Imp, Bandung, Cairo). This week, we focused on the Black Panthers, thinking them in a broader anti-Imperial context & exploring what Black power as a cultural form means today

I’ll be in conversation about “enemy feminism” with @reproutopia.bsky.social as part of the @qucl.bsky.social annual lecture, alongside Emrah Karakus and Victoria Mangan 🥰 I hope to see many new and old UCL friends! www.ucl.ac.uk/institute-of...

Londoners, does anyone have a spare ticket for Ariana Reines at the LRB this week?

Zu glauben, dass die bürgerlichen Konservativen & Co. einst werteorientiert + liberal waren (und erst neuerdings urplötzlich irgendwie nach rechts kippen), ist auch eines dieser Irrtümer bzw. Selbstlügen, die man aus migrantischer Perspektive nur belächeln kann.
