Solidarity🙏🏿 @durba.bsky.social A Surprise Tenure Denial in Harvard’s Gender Studies Program Leaves Some Faculty Shaken Mitra’s colleagues thought she was a near-perfect tenure candidate. When her bid was shot down in June, they were left questioning the process www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Shame on #harvard Durba Mitra’s brilliance is just too much to handle for a place of so much darkness. Triggered and pissed all over again www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Congratulations again, Prof! 🎊🥳 I can't wait to read and cite this book. 📚 Keep up the good work 👏🏿

My book, The Future That Was, is about the extraordinary rise of global research on women. It also about the attacks on & starvation of gender research today by universities who leave only the shell intact, dismantling entire fields of knowledge built by women press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Stunned by this news. I've long been an admirer of Durba Mitra's scholarship, her advocacy for the Schlesinger Library, and her vision for what WGSS history (and teaching!) can be. Harvard, of course, disagrees.

I am so lucky to have amazing mentees and students who made these stickers for me with the key phrase of my forthcoming book press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Let me bump this . It’s been rough and if everyone gives me a dollar I’m set, and even better if you need actual sense about organizing, strategy ,media, audience and policy I can do those things Imma go log out

I want you to read one of my 2022 investigations again + understand that the response you’re seeing from your children’s school boards-the harassment + firing of teachers, administrators & staff-is tied to a network of folks who have been in this game for years: www.propublica.org/article/geor...

a friend and I went downtown this evening to scream in the streets with thousands of our neighbors. @theonion.com was also at the protest this evening and they were pulling no punches

"White supremacy says who is expendable. It tells us who may be massacred with minimal opposition. At the same time, it convinces us that drones over Gaza do not prefigure drones over our heads. And yet, imperialism boomerangs. Militarism comes home to roost." www.counterpunch.org/2025/09/04/t...

I am organizing multiple workshops this week for Chicago activists and organizers as we prepare for a possible military occupation of our city. I am tired but moving fast.

*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

The hits keep coming. “The departments that won’t be accepting Ph.D. students now include art history, cinema and media studies, classics, comparative literature, East Asian languages and civilizations, English language and literature, Germanic studies, linguistics, Middle Eastern studies…”

In Sudan, “the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has held the capital of North Darfur hostage in a 14-month siege - blocking food/fuel & forcing starvation on 900,000.” The RSF is heavily backed by the UAE — a US partner which has faced minimal consequences from Trump or Biden news.sky.com/story/it-is-...

Love that when outlets like the Atlantic or the NYT finally get around to writing a long piece on Sudan, they never, ever, ever, EVER, get a Sudanese person to write it. Despite Sudanese ppl pitching them 1000x over the last few years. And oh, let’s play ‘How to Write About Sudan’ bingo…
