The president’s address at @isanet.bsky.social was peacefully disrupted to draw institutional attention to the issue of democratisation in ISA governance and the acknowledgement of scholasticide in how we conduct research ‘as normal’ #isa2025

This petition, asking the American Historical Association to rescind its veto of the Resolution to Oppose Scholasticide in Gaza, will close tomorrow. Current, former, and non-members of the AHA can sign.

The maga-ification of Labour continues. It seems like the party’s leadership is unable to have a single original thought, instead just pandering and copying the most rightwing American government www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"What about southern Lebanon?" "Is is part of it. all of it. Even parts of Syria, parts of Iraq, even Iran! Its huge!"

What's happening at the International Studies Association (ISA)? A whole catalogue of censorship & punitive actions against sections & caucuses by the ISA leadership is silencing democratic discussion, especially among Global South & marginalised members.. medium.com/@bdsatisa/ce...
