The same AHA whose council vetoed a resolution opposing scholasticide in Gaza which had been approved by its members? 🤔 Curious if there is a module on how leadership of democratic institutions fails to live up to the moment. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

There’s a new season of Radio ReOrient in town from @reorient.bsky.social and @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social! In this first episode we discussed the Islamophobia of the war on Iran with our guests. 🌙 Listen here (or wherever you get your podcasts): newbooksnetwork.com/category/up-... 🎙️

NEW: The Board of Immigration Appeals just denied Mahmoud Khalil’s bid to throw out his deportation case. However, Mahmoud can't be legally detained again until his habeas appeals process is exhausted in federal court. We'll keep defending his right to live in this country and speak freely.

Glasgow colleagues affiliated with GLINTS are organising a workshop on 18 June with the title 'Trans studies at a crossroad: decolonisation, anti-gender politics and the future'. It looks like it will be fab! The CFP is here: www.gla.ac.uk/media/Media_... and the deadline for abstracts is 3 May.

No paywall copy of the article in the Times about unwanted sexual advances by Simon Goldhill at Cambridge. Thank god students in 21st century report this shit and the universities take it seriously archive.ph/2026.04.09-1...

we haven’t updated everything but Crips for eSims for Gaza is almost at $3,333,333 raised. YES THAT IS TWO COMMAS. #ConnectingGaza bit.ly/eSimsRUs

I cant stop thinking about this genocidal post. Openly, brazenly, recklessly genocidal. Please, if you can, if you have any fight left in you, contact your representatives.

Note that this “civilisation” goes back 47 years according to Trump - ie to the beginning of the Islamic Republic. Note that Trump knows that divorcing Muslims from the ancient past will legitimate genocide against them because that’s exactly what the Zionists did in Palestine.

🚨🏺🩸🇱🇧 NEW: "Silence Is Not Neutral: An Archaeological Update from Lebanon" by Nelly P. Abboud: everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/2026/04/02/s...

Proofs day for A Workshop of Eloquence: A Collection of Gazan Literature from Late Antiquity! I'm grateful to be working with DAK University Press in Bethlehem and a Gazan Arabic translator to offer an introduction and selection of translated texts by, from, and about late ancient Gaza.

US/Israel now bombing university campuses — the same places that were the sites of anti-regime protests a few weeks ago. And I wonder what provosts and deans of US universities on Qatar and the UAE are thinking this morning

The refusal to acknowledge or to do anything about the complicity of archaeology with this violence is why I won't participate in the @asor-research.bsky.social meeting again this year. #BoycottASOR

REMEMBERING GAZA SCHOLARS A group of academics have spent the past 18 months creating an archive that commemorates the lives of Palestinian scholars killed by Israel. 83 of our colleagues, so far, have bios; the group's work continues rememberinggazascholars.org

Now available for preorder - Palestinian Resistance Literature Under Occupation, 1948-1968 by Ghassan Kanafani, with an introduction by Rashid Khalidi

the whole thread.

More than 87 public libraries and archives in Gaza have been partially or completely destroyed by Israel’s genocide. buff.ly/ZlOmxuF

Eid Mubarak from all of us at the @socstudyofthepast.bsky.social, especially to those resisting occupation and oppression around the world. 🌙

🚨🚨🚨 ISRAEL THREATENS TO BOMB TYRE, INCL. ITS ANCIENT CITY "This places one of the most significant UNESCO sites in the E Mediterranean under direct threat & constitutes a serious violation of internatonal humanitarian law, amounting to a war crime, given the protected status of cultural property"

Israel issued overnight orders for residents of Tyre—one of southern Lebanon’s largest cities & surrounding neighborhoods & refugee camps housing about 74,000 Palestinians to move north of the Zahrani River, including Shabriha, Hamadiya, Jal al-Bahr, Al-Bass, Rashidiya, and Burj al-Shamali.

I am so thrilled to see this book out! Thanks to the editors for inviting me to contribute a chapter entitled "Bint al-Nil: On the Modern Racing of Ancient Egypt" 🐍🖤

So @asanews.bsky.social emailed its membership its refusal to put a petition to Boycott, Divest, & Sanction Israel up to a vote, one that already had 438 signatures. This undemocratic decision, they wrote, is because they're worried about membership dropping. Well do I have news for you.

Mark your calendars! Next Wednesday, on the 25th of March, Professor Mahmoud Hawari of Bethlehem University will present on the topic of Israeli settler colonialism and the erasure of Palestinian cultural heritage #archaeology #🏺

Congratulations to students who successfully passed AMS referendum calling on UBC Senate to cut ties with Israeli universities that uphold apartheid. It passed 8,894 in favour - highest voter turnout for any referendum item this election! UBC: Cut ties with apartheid! ubyssey.ca/news/referen...

"Epistemic disobedience is…necessary because there is no way out of the coloniality of power from within Western categories of thought. Epistemic disobedience takes us to a different place...to spatial sites of struggles & building rather than to a new temporality within the same space." W. Mignolo

Selections from Etel Adnan’s Beirut 1982

This book is excellent, and now seems like a particularly good time to suggest folks read it. www.versobooks.com/products/340...

Yeah, it's definitely a "Middle East" problem, and not colonial intervention and violence, genocide, ecocide, exploitation of resources, dispensational premillennialism, absurd Sykes-Picot land borders, the fossil fuel lobby, or anything else. It's just us. We're the problem.

Pictures emerging from today’s heavy bombing of Isfahan. Damages to the mirror works, tiles, floors, and carved wooden doors of Safavid palaces of Aali Qapu and Chehelsotoon. Both of these are within the UNESCO Heritage complex of Naqsh-e Jahan Square. These are 16th-17th century bldgs.

This FOl enquiry for the Guardian has taken up a great deal of my life for the past 2 years. (1/3)

Let’s collectively imagine the world otherwise — Archaeology, Anthropology and World Culture Museums can be more than some legacy colonial death cult 💫

The mass murder of civilians in Gaza, the brazen attacks on hospitals and schools, without any accountability has created a new kind of warfare that should terrify and enrage all of us. Every child lost is someone’s whole world. Every life lost matters www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It frankly doesn’t matter if DHS “lied.” They should not exist, and Columbia university, which has been cooperating with these state agencies to provide information about students, staff, and faculty to facilitate deportation, does not get to come out of this looking like a victim.
