“raising fears of ethnic cleansing” — we’ve been screaming this for more than a year and a half www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

My colleagues are all frantically trying to write their ‘justification’ document for compulsory redundancies at the same time as finish up teaching semesters & do fantastic research, as well as parent, live lives, and carry on regardless. This is an unnecessary cruelty. Brutal.

all of a sudden, after a decade of research, this book is available to pre-order from @uminnpress.bsky.social www.upress.umn.edu/978151791984...
