This is a harrowing look at Epstein's connections to academia. It shows how Epstein was able to woo high-profile scholars with witty banter, promises of research funding, and help from a well-connected literary agent, despite not having a degree himself. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

I have accidentally looked at Epstein files that are open access and anyone can look at them at will. Goodness gracious, the scale of how abhorrent and ghastly they are. It’s not only individuals, entire institutions and funding bodies like Guggenheim Fund are involved.

It's a MEDIA INDIGENA (partial) reunion with @kimtallbear.bsky.social and I sitting down with Candis to discuss her talk at this awesome @sfuindg.bsky.social event! ⬇️

We’re baaaack! So grateful to @rickharp.bsky.social for putting it all together and @zoestodd.bsky.social for organizing this event that the new episode dives into. Great to be back in conversation with Rick and @kimtallbear.bsky.social

I thank my Indigenous fellow decolonial thinkers, Rick Harp, Candis Callison, Zoe Todd and Kim TallBear whose solidarity mean the world to me. It is always a pleasure to share space with you: to challenge coloniality and explore more generative ways of living and working otherwise.

Russian authorities have detained an Indigenous climate advocate, accusing her of participating in a terrorist organization in what international observers are calling “retribution” for her UN advocacy on behalf of Indigenous peoples.

Excellent job tracing Trump administration’s destructive actions carried out by academic colleagues at UCL: www.trumpactiontracker.info?

Five months before catastrophic floods tore through the Alaska Native village of Kipnuk, destroying homes, the Trump administration canceled a $20M EPA grant meant to protect the community from flooding and erosion. www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

It was an honour to be part of the plenary for the 9th meeting of Portuguese Anthropological Association held in Viana do Castelo. If it was not an invitation by Prof Cristiana Bastos, President of the Association, I would not have ever discovered the stunning city of Viana do Castelo 🙌❤️

Congratulations to Mayor Zohran Mamdani and to New York for showing us how it’s done and also giving the worst people in the world a very bad night.

Just found out Zohran Mamdani said he’d arrest Netanyahu if he lands in NYC—because no war criminal should be above the law. That’s the kind of courage we need in a mayor. A city that stands for human rights, not genocide.

Agree with all my heart 🙌👏

“Science has no passport, no gender, no ethnicity, no political party.” EC President Ursula von der Leyen, announcing a €500M initiative to attract top global talent. In a fractured world, science remains a unifying force – rooted in diversity, driven by curiosity, and shared by all humanity.

Les universités et les laboratoires ont connu un mouvement de contestation ces derniers mois. Au-delà des questions budgétaires, ce qui est en jeu c’est le rapport que la société entretient avec la science et les savoirs. Une analyse de @hendrikdavi.bsky.social 👇 www.contretemps.eu/science-univ...

"Rapid Response Research awards are specifically intended to support early- to mid-career health equity researchers whose racial or #Indigenous health equity research was interrupted by federal funding shifts."

I was invited to give a seminar at Università di Bologna last week. It was an absolute joy to engage with the students and warm academic staff. The Adriatic Sea, incredible seafood, rich Italian coffee, and the cozy, quiet charm of this academic city made the experience truly unforgettable ❤️

I am giving a talk at @SCALA seminar series at the University of Bologna next month. The format of the seminar is hybrid (in person and Zoom). All are welcome.

Happy New Year! Ангамта Анганич! С Новым Годом!

The effort to undermine the Maori treaty is led by David Seymour, who has ties to the Atlas Network and who used to work at a Canadian think tank that has called the discovery of graves of Indigenous children at a residential school a "hoax." I wrote about it: drilled.media/news/trfst-f...
