In the new episode of the Academy for Football Culture (@uantwerpen.be): a reflection of mine on decolonization and Lusophony through the lens of Capeverdean football culture. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BHy...

In de nieuwe aflevering van de Academie voor Voetbalcultuur (@uantwerpen.be) (@UAntwerp) hebben Kas Swerts en @Nick Majchrowicz het o.m. over de wisselende nationale identificaties in de Britse sport en over nationale liederen die heel internationaal blijken te zijn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI7_...

Filosofische en ethische perspectieven mogen uiteraard niet ontbreken in de Academie voor Voetbalcultuur van de @uantwerpen.be. Vandaag Katrien Schaubroeck over passie voor het voetbal zonder haat voor de tegenstander. Een betoog dat mij alvast na aan het hart ligt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIf-...

My new podcast in the Academy of Football Culture (@uantwerpen.be), about the traces of the wars of the 1990s in Bosnian football culture today. Also available in Dutch youtu.be/qCEjnmNCB6c?...

Ook de Congolese Léopards op de Academie voor Voetbalcultuur van @uantwerpen.be! Dankzij @margotluyckfasseel.bsky.social en Pauline Malenga Mwanga. www.youtube.com/watch?si=bTW...

Je hoeft de passé simple niet onder de knie te hebben om de nieuwe uitzending van de Academie voor Voetbalcultuur van @uantwerpen.be te begrijpen. Emmanuelle Labeau over het lot van deze grammaticale tijd in Franstalige verslaggeving over WK's mannenvoetbal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S82p...

Klein verzet, niet alleen een begrip in het wielrennen, maar ook in het voetbal. @vschelti.bsky.social vertelt in de Academie voor Voetbalcultuur van @uantwerpen.be over het stille protest van twee voetballers tegen de laatste executies onder de Franco-dictatuur. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xjz...

Waar was jij toen de Sparwasser-goal gescoord werd? Zelf ben ik te jong om een antwoord op die vraag te geven. In de nieuwste aflevering van onze Academie voor Voetbalcultuur verneem je waarom die goal in Duitsland zo'n mythische status heeft (gehad): www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jzu....

A little bit of Belgium and a very strong message in the heart of Kyiv!

Korte terugblik op de recente screening aan @uantwerpen.be van de aangrijpende en relevante documentairefilm "The sky above Zenica". blog.uantwerpen.be/bladspiegel/...

This is Nayef Samaro, a 26-year-old Palestinian, he was killed yesterday by Israeli forces during a raid in Nablus, the occupied West Bank. He was shot at the hospital where his wife was giving birth to his first born child. (1/2)

Mooi programma aan de @uantwerpen.be, nu donderdag in aanloop naar de 8 mei-herdenking. www.uantwerpen.be/nl/overuantw...

Dead blackcap under the cloak of Erasmus (marble statue offered by the Lion's club of local businessmen to the city of Leuven in 1979). If I were writing a book about Humanism and the Anthropocene, this might be the cover image.

Ready for the concluding panel on ‘Refugees : Past & Present. Memory, museums, social responsibilities’ at In Flanders Fields Museum conference "Displaced". With Piet Chielens, Peter, @Karen Moeskops and Daniel Hadwiger, and moderated by @chrisdec71.bsky.social.

Highly topical and historically relevant conference at In Flanders Fields Museum, Ypres, about the experience of displacement during World War I and beyond. With a central role for Lotte van Attenhove, both as organizer and as presenter.

Naast alle lof voor "Terug voor Joegoslavië" is er toch ook wel plaats voor een aantal kritische bedenkingen. Daarom mijn tekst vandaag in De Morgen. www.demorgen.be/.../waarom-t...

🔎 Hoe mooi was de belle époque? Henk de Smaele helpt mee deze vraag te beantwoorden in de meest recente aflevering van de podcast ‘Geschiedenis voor herbeginners’ – geproduceerd door alumni Jonas Goossenaerts en Laurent Poschet. Luister de aflevering hier: www.geschiedenisvoorherbeginners.be

Revisiting “Remembering St. Martin’s Day in Tehran” In light of the current developments in Iran, we would like to point out the blog “Remembering St. Martin’s Day in Tehran” (2022) by Roschanack Shaery-Yazdi. It offers a concise and thought-provoking reflection. blog.uantwerpen.be/power-in-his...

Activism can be historical in several ways at the same time (New York today - picture by @sag111.bsky.social).

Nog eens een blogtekst geschreven voor @uantwerppohis.bsky.social. Over een aantal zaken die me mateloos boeien, en die plots op een verrassende wijze samenkwamen. blog.uantwerpen.be/power-in-his...

If there is one institute at the @uantwerpen.be truly committed to collaborating with partners from the Global South, it is the @iobua.bsky.social. In times of geopolitical change, we need an institute like this more than ever, but the Flemish government does not seem to understand that. #saveIOB

An intriguing reflection by my colleague Roschanack Shaery on her research stay in Japan. How a halal certificate in a fancy Italian restaurant in Tokyo made her reflect on Western attitudes toward the Muslim world. blog.uantwerpen.be/power-in-his...

Video: Israeli conductor gives passionate anti-genocide speech at BBC Proms On one of the biggest stages in classical music, Ilan Volkov demanded action over Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20...

Quite aware that Netanyahu and co are not really sensitive to symbolic actions in small Belgian villages, but they remain meaningful nonetheless. www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...

Let's not forget Ukraine.

And that's why we should support organizations like @standing-together.bsky.social

At least 88 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours alone by the Israeli military in Gaza, from the bombing of a bakery, to shootings at Palestinians waiting for aid, to strikes on their residential tents and shelters – and the slow death of hunger. (2/3)

Just read their words. These are the voices of Palestinians in Gaza, describing in real time the horror of living under Israeli military’s bombs. (1/3)

📣Call for Panels, Papers and Posters for the APH 2026 Conference! Deadline, 1 Dec 2025. Topic: Dynamizing and Decentring Empires: A Recalibration of the History of the Political 📍Münster @uni-muenster.de @sechistnetwork.bsky.social 📅11-13 June 2026 www.associationforpoliticalhistory.org?p=2797

Very good that this @standing-together.bsky.social-activist bluntly calls his government what it is: fascist. That kind of government - and those who support its genocidal policies - should be sanctioned and boycotted. But those who bravely resist it should receive all our support.

$10 million in contraceptives are days from being burned in Europe – under Trump's orders. Our leaders are starting to give in to public pressure. With enough voices, we can stop this destruction and protect women’s health and dignity. Sign NOW: action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-08...

The actions of @standing-together.bsky.social are courageous and necessary to stop the genocide, and to forge a better future for Jews and Palestinians alike in Israel/Palestine. Donations to make these actions possible can still be done via my ambassador's page (causematch.com/standing_tog...)

That is the power he fears most: ordinary people joining across every line to replace supremacy with solidarity, despair with hope, and domination with true democracy. The path forward is clear: together, building the only future in which we all belong. (7/7)

Side by side, Palestinians and Jews will keep fighting this racism, building our shared power, and proving that together, we can change this reality. (6/7)

Ben-Gvir’s politics thrive on fear, division, and the belief that there is no alternative – no alternative to his hatred, supremacy, and permanent inequality he wants to impose – but there is. (5/7)

What scares Ben-Gvir the most is that Arab citizens of this country care about their representation, that they are using their political power to demand equality, justice, and a shared future, and to challenge the supremacy he seeks to preserve. (4/7)

These are dangerous incitements — the language of an extremist government that never stops advancing racist policies. A government terrified of Arab voters, fearful of high Arab turnout in the coming elections, and determined to silence Arab voices in the very democracy it claims to defend. (3/7)

For Palestinian citizens of Israel, this unity is historic and deeply significant: one list, one voice, one representation in a political system designed to divide, weaken and marginalize them. (2/7)

In response to Arab parties uniting ahead of the elections, Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a full-on Kahanist whose career is built on incitement, said: “Prosecute them, revoke their citizenship, encourage them to leave. Not voluntarily.” (1/7)

A brave action, once more, by @standing-together.bsky.social. Let's keep on supporting the organisation.

Millions of people in Gaza need help. Helping one family can be a start. But nothing can help them more than a #ceasefire. gofund.me/3a00c168

Palestinians in Gaza are being killed every day by starvation or shootings at GHF aid sites, like Ali. This horrific reality wasn’t inevitable and it didn’t need to happen – our government is choosing it. (1/2)

Interesting interview with the Israeli journalist Emmanuelle Elbaz-Phelps, showing 1) how little most people in Israel (want to) know about Gaza, and 2) how this has recently started to change slightly thanks to organizations like @standing-together.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/il/podcast/w...

NOW: Thousands of Jews and Palestinians are protesting the starvation, killing, and destruction in Gaza and for the return of the hostages. End the annihilation!
