Today's @osgoodenews.bsky.social Grad Reading Group on Social Justice opens thinking abt the university as a site of social justice, reading @pashukanist.bsky.social's "Strategy & Tactics", @norajaber.bsky.social & @leilaullrich.bsky.social's, "Reflections on Fugitive Practices in the University.."

My latest article is now out with @flsjournal.bsky.social - ‘Beyond international human rights: Islamic feminism as alternative rights praxis’. Available open access here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Academia can feel very pointless during israel's genocide on Palestine and yet another US-backed imperialist onslaught on Iran – but reading the words of others is a reminder that each of us are not alone. And as Nora reminds us, hopefully we are in the "before of the revolution"

My latest - ‘Beyond International Human Rights: Islamic Feminism as Alternative Rights Praxis’. Read here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... Soon to be published with @flsjournal.bsky.social

“At a time when those of us who are most precariously positioned are being most aggressively targeted, our work must be informed by care, by collectivity, & by deep political clarity.” Beautiful writing by @norajaber.bsky.social & @leilaullrich.bsky.social on resisting violence in academic spaces.

“This moment necessitates that we trace & map the linkages between the various forms of oppression & harm we witness, locate their manifestations in the spaces we move in, & draw on these lessons to fight back.” @norajaber.bsky.social & @leilaullrich.bsky.social reflect on being feminist fugitives.

My latest, co-authored with Leila Ullrich. ‘Reflections on Fugitive Practices in the University: Labouring in the Wake of Violence’ @flsjournal.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Absolute masterclass in keynote delivery by @norajaber.bsky.social this morning ““On the Juridification of Justice” as part of Edinburgh Postgraduate Law Conference 2025 👏🏻

Looking forward to delivering a keynote lecture, titled ‘On the Juridification of Justice’ at this week’s Edinburgh Postgraduate Law Conference at @uoelawschool.bsky.social. More here: www.law.ed.ac.uk/community/st...

We sometimes talk about how “good” or “helpful” migrants are when responding to racist politics. These sentiments might be well meaning but they just feed the idea that our worth as people is conditional on our usefulness. But we shouldn’t need to be hardworking or successful to be free from racism.

Great workshop on 'The Juridification of Justice' @lauterpachtcentre.bsky.social (@torkrever.bsky.social & @norajaber.bsky.social). I argued that our concern should not be the degree to which justice becomes 'juridified', but which 'jus' –which understanding of law– guides our visions of justice.

In Cambridge, in my way to the spectacular conference by @norajaber.bsky.social and @torkrever.bsky.social on the juridification of justice … but I might stop for a picnic first. www.lcil.cam.ac.uk/press/events...

Today’s topic for my course ‘Law and Power in the Muslim World’ is on the coloniality of international law. I hope that one day this subject becomes outdated - a thing of a darker past. Today colonialism is alive and well and law’s entanglements with it are blatant.

'These are the type of politics you’d expect of the British empire in the 19th century,' says Eyal Weizman on Trump’s colonial plans for Gaza. 'To simply erase Gaza and turn it into a riviera is a way to continue the work of destruction by construction': www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Lovely to see Queer Judgments published! The collection features contributions from some of our amazing editorial team too. Check it out.

Full house for @pashukanist.bsky.social’s brilliant lecture at @uoelawschool.bsky.social on international law’s relationship to racism and capitalism and how this has played out in the context of Palestine

“We need to understand the way in which international law intentionally embeds racism, and how this ensures its unequal application worldwide” Great to be listening to Dr Robert Knox at Edinburgh University Law School, organised by @norajaber.bsky.social.

Great talk and broad ranging discussion on international law and its ties to racism/racialisation and capitalism from @pashukanist.bsky.social, hosted by @norajaber.bsky.social @uoelawschool.bsky.social

“Rest tactics are also about stopping—or breaking the rhythm—in order to do something else. As we stopped and changed our usual rhythm for all the reasons outlined above we have taken time to remind ourselves why we do what we do.” Be a wench in the works.

I’ll be in conversation about “enemy feminism” with @reproutopia.bsky.social as part of the @qucl.bsky.social annual lecture, alongside Emrah Karakus and Victoria Mangan 🥰 I hope to see many new and old UCL friends! www.ucl.ac.uk/institute-of...
