Just listened to a ⚽️ podcast where they used Gramsci to analyse the rise of set pieces in the premier league this season. His influence is truly unparalleled 🥲

For those asking what Palestine reveals about the world - and what it demands of us - this book is one small intervention in a much larger fight. We hope you’ll read it, share it, and organise with it. www.versobooks.com/en-gb/produc...

Podcast (from @palfest.bsky.social) featuring @lalehkhalili.bsky.social interviewing Adam Hanieh, @rafeefz.bsky.social and me ou our @versobooks.bsky.social pamphlet Resisting Erasure. Some fantastic interviewing from Laleh, and I think(/hope?) a good conversation. www.podbean.com/media/share/...

"...a past that can never quite be forgotten." Indeed. Find time in your day to read this, and think about it.

I wrote this piece for @antipodeonline.bsky.social on street names as anticolonial traces, looking at Lusaka's map as a cartography of solidarity. Though these solidarities are less vivid today, I suggest these traces continue to hold revolutionary potential antipodeonline.org/2025/11/06/c...

In this new Intervention, "Cairo Road", @sarasalem.bsky.social reflects on Lusaka's map as a "living archive" of solidarity, a cartography of anticolonial struggle antipodeonline.org/2025/11/06/c...

Should sociology remain descriptive, or is engaging with normative questions essential to understanding social life? Here, @sarasalem.bsky.social‬ answers as part of our latest blog series.

London 🇬🇧!! So delighted to be in conversation on my new book with the esteemed Doctor @sarasalem.bsky.social March 4. Free and open to public. London School of Economics. My book #DarkLaboratory is an anticapitalist love letter to islands & how to solve the climate crisis #EuropeanTour

Spent the weekend with Mariana Enriquez’s latest 💚

For Palestinians, sport is a place of wonder & play, a brief taste of freedom, & so of course it cannot be allowed to live. Probably you’ve already decided what you think about this. But even one mind is worth changing, just as surely as one life is worth saving. www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/n...

Second time seeing this incredible film ❤️‍🔥

So excited to start this book about the opening of whole collections of classified documents from the Soviet era, and what they tell us about Soviet history and archives more broadly.

Starter Pack on Colonialism, Decolonisation & Race 👇. Interdisciplinary and not limited to academics. Set it up last week so I may have missed people who joined recently - pls let me know if you'd like to be added (or removed). ..Overlapping starter packs v.welcome! go.bsky.app/NypyY8Q

Any postcolonial studies or Marxism starter packs? 😊

Some texts I’ve been teaching this term 💫

Calling for a ceasefire is now a radical and controversial demand. It is astounding what the political terrain looks like today. There is not even the pretence of humanitarianism, just endless support for mass killing.

Why must Palestinians audition for your empathy? Hala Alyan www.nytimes.com/2023/10/25/o...

Struck by how so many refer to Gaza as opposed to Palestine. Another layer of erasure…

The Palestinian keffiyeh and its symbolism: The firshnet represents its Mediterranean life. The bold multi-laned borders represent the trade routes passing through Palestine. The leaf pattern in between the two border lines represent olive leaves. The hills, the sea, and the routes of travel.

So much is being revealed (again) about how little most academics care about the world they write, teach and speak about.

Palestinian writer Adania Shibli has been informed that she will no longer receive the 2023 LiBeraturpreis award at Frankfurt Book Fair. Following this, Fitzcarraldo Editions have made her novel Minor Detail free to download for the entirety of Frankfurt Book Fair.

‘We’d not been given perfection, not godliness, not symmetry, not a bad hand, nor a curse; our lives, not easy or free from pain; we’d been given only a real life, dreadfully normal and sublime, and I would no longer betray its beauty by wishing it otherwise.’

Can anyone recommend readings/resources on questions of race/empire/nationalism/resistance in East Asia? Hoping to add more of these to a course I teach, and would really appreciate it! 💙

At the Centre for Gulf Studies at Exeter we are starting a virtual seminar series, inaugurated by Mohammed Al Sudairi (24 October, 17:00 London time). You can sign up here: universityofexeter.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Incredible!!!

Watching Arsenal was the most stressful part of my weekend 😭

My first post here is to share one of my favourite fiction finds this year - Claire Keegan’s novels! 😍
