I've updated my academic website! ☻ ghostlylivesaproject.wordpress.com

After years of helping people navigate the #hostileenvironment, I'm raising money for my own battle against it. Donate/Share if you like! www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

🥳 Officially a Dr! Thanks to my supervisors, Prof Chetan Bhatt & Dr @sarasalem.bsky.social, to the generous engagement with my thesis by Prof @jean23bean.bsky.social and Dr @kojokoram.bsky.social 🙏🏾

replugging this in the week of Fanon's 100th birthday, because the way he is misinterpreted keeps me up at night www.radicalphilosophy.com/commentary/h...

The lack of representation of Black faculty staff and students in British HE is endemic. An important reading on a new report. #AcademicSky #racism #UK #antiblackracism www.theguardian.com/education/20...

I've recently joined the @bsarace.bsky.social as co-convenors. If you're a sociologist working on #race and #ethnicity, follow us! More to come.

✨ 🎨 Thrilled to share this poster I've made for this amazing event at @leedsunimedia.bsky.social, co-organised by my brillant friend/colleague @cindyxma.bsky.social! #RaceMedia #AcademicSky

As 'asylum hotels' are being attacked across the UK, I wrote this piece on housing and migrant justice was published on LSE blog. #HostileEnvironment #UK #Asylum blogs.lse.ac.uk/vcb/2025/07/...

I can't quite believe it, but, it appears that the person responsible for this at the University of Warwick has had a Vogue photoshoot about the rebrand, explaining his 'journey from the world of luxury [goods marketing] into higher education' vogue.sg/university-o...

It took 24 months to the #DailyExpress to get a conscience. I'm proud of my borough for spontaneously organising a protest today to call for the end of the #genocide. We're asking #Haringey Council to divest from I$raH33l.

I just read Omar El Akkad’s “One Day, Everyone will Have Always Been Against This.” It’s a book detailing the failings of western liberalism and blind self-interests. It’s a book that needs to be read and digested, causing us to look at ourselves. interminablerambling.medium.com/we-must-spea...

The #Starmer and #Macron ‘one in, one out’ deal is bound to fail. Deterrence doesn’t work. The real issue isn’t the crossing — it’s the UK’s broken asylum system. #immigration #ChannelCrossings #UKPolitics #borders #SafePassage #NoOneIsIllegal #HostileEnvironment #France

There’s so much wrong here, but in particular it’s noted in the article that the creator of this project met with a bunch of stakeholders who told him the idea was shit, and he did it anyway.

For all zinemakers and zinelovers, a call for contributions for this amazing book proposal ! shorturl.at/OtaYf #zine #AcademicSky #creativemethods #pedagogies #feminism

This ban can't be applied retrospectively. You can't be targetted under the Terrorism Act for previously supporting or taking part in @palaction.bsky.social events. If it comes into force, it'll criminalise support for Palestine Action - but there are protections for people calling for it's repeal

More than 400 people in Gaza have now been killed trying to reach food at sites run by the ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’. “The attempt to survive is being met with a death sentence,” says Jonathan Whittall, UN humanitarian coordination office (OCHA). news.un.org/en/story/202...

This is Iran’s statement. You don’t need to like anything about the Iranian regime to recognise that these are just facts. Again: Iran never left the negotiating table. Israel bombed them unilaterally. And the US just joined. The official UK and EU statements are simply lies.

These policies aimed at shutting out people seeking safety on the basis they are "dangerous" are racist. In countries like the US and UK, that have caused so much strife for the global majority, asylum is an issue of racial justice (4/4). Our latest article on this: www.bigissue.com/opinion/immi...

this is excellent

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Pleased to share my new article! I reflect on what our responsibility is, as legal academics, to students experiencing racism and how we can surface the ways racism plays out "politely" such that the law school feels like a space to which they cannot fully belong. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

The recording of our online workshop on #zinemaking is now online! We were thrilled by the interest for zine-making in #academia, so we're planning an in-person version soon! ☻ Thanks to Seetha & Ayanda for creating this space for us! 🦋 ghostlylivesaproject.wordpress.com/2025/05/29/z...

HCC's first programme is out! We are focusing on Haringey's long history of struggle and resistance to state repression and violence! #filmsky #HaringeyCommunityCinema #films #London #Police #MarkDuggan #Tottenham #refugeeweek haringeycommunitycinema.uk/2025/05/24/h...

ghostlylivesaproject.wordpress.com/2025/05/14/o... Here's the full text about my thesis' mixtape! Some songs bring me back to beautiful time in Calais, and moments with participants and comrades! 🥹 Creating these playlists was the most fun part of my PhD! Might become a Dj and Dr!

To celebrate the submission of my thesis (today!), this is my final PhD mixtape! ☻ ✍︎ Enjoy! open.spotify.com/playlist/70j...

HOLY s... Sinners was unreal 🔥 Felt like watching Blade for the first time 🧛🏽‍♂️ It kicked off real convo about Irish and Black allyship 👊🏽 And casting Indigenous folks as vampire hunters? That’s when I knew it was doing something different for real.

As part of the Creative Methodologies series, Fiona and I will discuss zine-making as a radical research method. The workshop is free and online! Come along with your scissors, glue, and paper! 🦋

reminder: every action we take, our commitment to 'the work' (to protect life at every cost!), matters even if we don't always see our impact.

Read this from @sulliview.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Researchers at the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands have received a questionnaire from the US with questions that are an attack on academic freedom. The University of Leiden advises not to respond www.staff.universiteitleiden.nl/announcement...

At this point, it is obvious that it is not safe for scholars to travel the US. There are no easy solutions for conferences scheduled in the US this year but it should be cleary to everyone involved that they cannot just go ahead as planned.

while working on my thesis (alas!), I came to think of about the case #MahmoudKhalil, here a short footnote: ghostlylivesaproject.wordpress.com/2025/03/19/m...

#recommendation i'm late on this, but go watch PANTHEON. This animated #tvshow deals with powerful ethical questions about technology (uploaded intelligence, or UI), necrocapitalism, necro/biopolitics, and the meaning of being human (love, death, grief, family, etc.). And 100% on RT. #FilmSky

what does the #university stand for? "There is nothing to be thankful for. We pay the price to be here. We are tired. We are depressed. We are made to doubt our worth. We are silenced. We are brutalised. We are raped. We are sexually assaulted..." ghostlylivesaproject.wordpress.com/2025/03/15/w...

Does everyone understand they are breaking of public services because 1) they want to privatize them to make money off of them, 2) they do not believe everyone should have access to these services. This is how white supremacist eugenicists who think empathy is a weakness function.
