Come work with me! This is an excellent postdoc in diaspora studies with a pipeline to tenure track. binghamton.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdeta...

A new piece by us up on Substack: "Against Colonial Conferencing," where we reflect on the akademic conference circuit as an integral part of the global tourism industry, as well as the destruction of Native Hawaiian and Palestinian lands and knowledge. open.substack.com/pub/workshop...

Hey Y’all! I’m thrilled to share the news that we will hire a #tenuretrack #assistantprofessor in #Black and #Latine studies @blsbaruch.bsky.social #BaruchCollege #CUNY! Please apply! Please spread the word. cuny.jobs/new-york-ny/...

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

My department, Sociology at the University of Calgary, is hiring FOUR (4) tenure track professors this fall in the areas of systemic justice and structural harm. Please help us to circulate this widely within your scholarly networks!

Many congratulations to Laura Garbes (University of Minnesota) on the publication of her pathbreaking sociology of the culture, idealism, and contradictions of public media. Out today on Princeton University Press.

To quote my favorite movie Matewan: "Any union that keeps a worker out on account of his race ain't a union. It's a goddam club." This Labor Day, read about the brave people who desegregated the labor movement. Buy my book "Freedom Train": ucpress.edu/books/freedo.... @ucpress.bsky.social

AI is theft. AI is environmental destruction. AI is anti-labor. AI concentrates power in tech capital. AI atrophies intellectual capacities. Here's something useful for struggling against its effects in education, courtesy of Anna Kornbluh, Eric Hayot, and Krista Muratore. against-a-i.com

My department is hiring! We seek to hire an Assistant Professor in Global Black Geographies whose work engages "with the spatial dimensions of life in African and/or Black diasporic communities in the Global South". Job ad with more details: aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05026

I am not going to #ASA2025 this year but I hope everyone has an engaging time. Most especially, I hope the panels and events centering Palestine go well and push the discipline in more radical directions. It's past time for ASA to boycott and divest from Israel.

[1/5] Please take a look at our most recent statement on the successful BDS mobilization at the 5th International Sociological Association (ISA) Forum of Sociology in Rabat earlier this month: drive.proton.me/urls/AEVX3HF...

WATCH — @peterbeinart.bsky.social : “Why did it take this long? We are profoundly complicit. The blood is on our hands as Americans because it is our weapons responsible for those children starving to death in Gaza… if Israel disagrees, let CNN’s cameras in.”

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants. This is horrifying beyond words. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Berkeley Sociology is hiring faculty! Sept 1 application deadline. Two positions: (1) open area junior search. aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05013, (2) associate or full professor in Anti-Black Racism and Social Inclusion aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05012 Please help spread the word!

It's not at all alarmist to expect that the new network of detention centers will be used to confine unhoused people—and to extract free labor from them. Everything in this executive order points in that direction.

🚨 Job alert: The Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto is hiring an Assistant Professor in the Sociology of Race and Ethnicity. jobs.utoronto.ca/job/Toronto-... I'll be at ASA and would be happy to chat with interested candidates. Please share widely! #Socsky

Excellent stuff here. @danaelkurd.bsky.social highlights why internal Palestinian politics matter. It should be self-evident, but there's little evidence that many people in the US, right, left, or center, have taken this basic fact seriously. pocketcasts.com/podcasts/2e9...

Incredibly difficult to read this thread, but it’s important to know, to witness, to dissent.

White supremacy explains a lot of apparent contradictions. The GOP was for states’ rights when the politics supported white supremacy. When they can accomplish white supremacist goals with federal power, they are against states’ rights.

this Saturday! We'll be looking at the Zapatistas' classic essay, "La Cuarta Guerra Mundial" which you can also check out here: paliacatepress.org/the-fourth-w...

The IDF carried out an even deadlier massacre just this morning, again at a food distribution site.

PLEASE AMPLIFY! Chicago JVP members on indefinite hunger strike calling for the end of the carnage in Gaza. NO BUSINESS AS USUAL DURING GENOCIDE. We're deep into the second year of this horror. Not another day. Not another minute.

People in the West Bank were afraid that this was coming - that once Gaza had been sufficiently subdued, they'd be next. Please don't miss this because of all the noise about Iran.

Or that the study of history, wider and suppressed knowledges, and empirical data on social problems leads to more radical politics.

There's a lot to unpack here. But the "why do people in the developed world die from chronic diseases at higher rates than in poorer countries" is because we survive long enough to die from chronic rather than infectious disease. This is epidemiology 101. It's not a mystery.

Border and Rule is available for free download! I wrote a book spanning ICE & borders, Palestine & policing, colonialism & global fascism - in service to internationalist struggles. I can no longer travel to US, but this book (as well @silkys13.bsky.social & @micahh.bsky.social 's) can come to you

At this point, I suspect most people reading this know this. But the Epstein reference is essentially Musk’s version of a rape joke.

"According to three witnesses who spoke to NBC News, a tank fired on Palestinians crowding around an aid distribution center near Rafah." www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

Doing their best to not say Israel lured starving people to an aid distribution site and then opened fire on them

Oh they explained it … he got the tattoo before joining ICE, so it’s all good.

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

In addition to the cancellation: “During a meeting with upper management, a line in Moniz’s artist statement in which she described “a genocide unfolding in real time” was flagged as a “question of opinion,” Nadal-Melsió said.” FFS, it is Not and has not been a matter of opinion for some time.

Shoutout to Whitney Plantation, who has always BANNED WEDDINGS at their location and allowed the entire facility and its grounds to be an indoor and outdoor museum. It also houses the genealogical records for over 100,000 enslaved people. You can search for your loved ones in its archives.

Noticeable that teenagers routinely demonstrate an ability to speak more clearly about right and wrong than almost every elected leader in the Democratic Party. (See also: gun control, gay rights, racism, etc.)

So @asanews.bsky.social censored *the* Ruth Milkman’s obituary to her friend, to remove mention of attempts to sabotage his tenure by colleagues due to his politics & advocacy for students. They also censored mention of attacks on him by Zionists. Now. Censoring examples of resistance! Wow.

Soon!!!!

Rümeysa Öztürk is experiencing debilitating asthma while being wrongfully incarcerated. The company that operates the detention center said her allegations were “part of a long-standing, politically motivated, and radical campaign to abolish ICE”. I hate this. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/05/m...

Reflecting on my first year of teaching as an Assistant Prof., the hardest part is realizing how after being doxxed by my students for teaching about Palestine I started to withdraw and be more guarded in the classroom.

Join us on May 10th to hear Linda Quiquivix talk about "Palestine 1492: A Report Back." Of the book, Linda writes, "Palestine 1492 is a report back of what I see from 500 years of the struggle for life in words, maps, and images in the seven cardinal directions and in the spiral that is time."

One of the motivating principles of Workshops4Gaza was that people in the West (esp. academics and nonprofits) should not be building platforms talking about Palestine without materially supporting Palestinians living through a genocide. But this applies to so many other issues.

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.
