Very happy to present my research in Leipzig at the GlobeColloquium, this Wednesday!

In this week's #GlobeColloquium, @samuelcoghe.bsky.social explores the history of cattle farming in Africa: How did colonial intervention, capitalist exploitation, and scientific practices change traditional livestock farming, give rise to new conflicts, and shape global economic interdependencies?

Next Monday (10 Nov., 18:00-20:00 CET), Prof. Eric Jennings (University of Toronto) will present his new book on the global history of vanilla (yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...) at Ghent University, in our Lecture Series in Global and Regional History. All welcome! And full programme attached.

Over the past 2 years, the evidence that the Israelian state has been systematically torturing and killing Palestian prisoners has been growing and growing. This gruesome policy can not remain unpunished. vrtnws.be/p.pA73PD4ak

An overwhelming majority of members of the world’s leading genocide scholars’ association have backed a resolution stating that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of the crime.

OLIVER: "Gaza is starving is a sentence that's objectively true, but it's also slightly misleading because it's too passive — Gaza is being starved by Israel."

"Data complied and published by Israel’s own government makes clear that it has been starving Gaza" | The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza

Stellen Sie sich für einen Moment vor, Medien würden Bilder abgemagerter Hamas-Geiseln als irreführend bezeichnen, wenn ihre Vorerkrankungen nicht genannt werden. Ein völlig absurder Gedanke. Und Beleg für den Status der Entmenschlichung der palästinensischen Zivilbevölkerung.

Dan laat dit het einde van de regering zijn... Als meneer Bouchez medeplichtig aan genocide wil zijn, is dat zijn keuze. Maar het mag nooit de keuze van de regering zijn. MR-voorzitter Bouchez blijft onverzettelijk: "Wisselmeerderheid over Gaza betekent einde van regering" vrtnws.be/p.ew8v8d8vE

"Crippling sanctions" - those who signed this letter have much more to lose, and hence also way more guts than most of EU leaders who are complicit in genocide. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Lies, lies and more lies from the Israeli government.

Wissenschaftsministerin ein massiver fail. Ideologisch, dumm, und in der Sache so falsch wie im Amt unprofessionell.
