Cultural institutions in Germany are experiencing a mood shift. From my latest article @artnet

I am looking for a PhD researcher for my SNSF-funded project ‘Law by Colour Code: Locating Race and Racism in International Law’ at the Graduate Institute, Geneva. It is a full-time position, funded for four-years, and with an annual pay of 50 000 CHF, and starts in September 2024. Spread the word!

Your reminder that less than half of one percent of undergrad students attend Ivy League Institutions

“Save the Children, a global charity, said that it had documented the cases of at least 7,685 children under the age of 5 who were so malnourished that they required ‘urgent medical treatment to avoid death.’”

Looking forward to hosting this event on race & gender in law & political economy with so many wonderful & generous scholars tomorrow at the Amsterdam School of Law In-person registration is closed now (no room left sorry!), but you can join us online - see more below sgel.uva.nl/content/even...

We have two new fellowship opportunities from our Investigative Tech Team. The deadline to apply to both is January 15th 2024, see this thread for further details...

Thank you, @andrewstroehlein.bsky.social

Horrific. www.hrw.org/news/2023/12...

One out of every 200 people in Gaza have been killed by the Israeli army — and the bombing still hasn’t stopped. Let that sink in for a moment, then remember how Israeli authorities are trying to make Western publics believe they aren’t targeting civilians. This is a massacre.

Center for Constitutional Rights complaint filed in the US District Court for the N District of CA on behalf of Palestinian human rights organisations and individuals, alleging Biden and secretaries of state and defense are failing to prevent genocide, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief

The embedded ambiguities of international humanitarian law are being actively exploited by the IDF. The law is part of the problem. They will continue to insist on military necessity over civilian protection, hospital after hospital.

"with the current indiscriminate bombing of Gaza, the government seems not only to be bringing unprecedented destruction on the people of Gaza but to be returning to the principle of preferring dead captives to a deal." www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

when i am asking for a news source or link it's bec there is so much hear-say going around on the internet. which again doesn't mean that the news is accurate. don't take it personally.

Hoping for a tipping point, where people aren’t focused on political alignment but instead about who will suffer most, and how to try to prevent that as best they can. How can civilians be asked to move south to a border that remains closed while Israel strikes in the south

Again revealing that attempts to comply with international humanitarian law are legal cover for doing whatever they want

seems electricity and mobile connection is super patchy in densely populated areas www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Reporters were shown IDF mapping of cell phone data in Gaza, with green areas indicating less data use. Presumes a lot about available electricity while under siege. IDF will use this to claim compliance with international humanitarian law obligations while displacing a population

This is for US-based legal scholars only - please consider signing this letter asking Biden to press for a cease-fire. Signed by academics including former UN special rapporteur Tendayi Achiume docs.google.com/document/u/0...

As the situation escalates in Israel-Palestine, misinformation is rife. It can be difficult to decipher what is really happening and what is not. Our team has gathered examples of misrepresented footage and imagery from the latest conflict, helping you tell facts from fiction

As my uni frantically sends around vague new ‘visions’ of the needs of students and their unknown future employers, I’m quite determined to take this research day and actually read… a book…
