How can higher education contribute to peacebuilding and recovery in post-dictatorship Syria? My thoughts in this @ukfiet.bsky.social blog: t.co/yNIZ8ri863 @chet-bristol.bsky.social @soebrisresearch.bsky.social

In light of the AHA's unconscionable veto of the members' vote, it's worth reading this excellent & prescient article by Hajir & Qato on how scholasticide operates (precisely via such institutional silences & silencing): www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I’m still stunned by this. “…‘scholasticidal tendencies’ that extend to the USA, UK, and European academies: silence, the suppression of solidarity, ‘complex’ or ‘nuanced’ arguments, and the threat posed by certain theories. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
