Wednesday 3 December – @nisrinelamin.bsky.social will situate Sudan’s famine within a broader historical context of neoliberal restructuring, US aid policies, foreign land investments & resource extractivism. Hosts @lsehumanrights.bsky.social & @lsesociology.bsky.social www.lse.ac.uk/events/the-p...

Why does policy reform happen? By studying Kuwait's education system through a policy sociology lens we can better understand the socio-political and bureaucratic context in which policies are developed. @edusociologist.bsky.social for the blog blogs.lse.ac.uk/mec/2025/10/...

A new publication by our Kuwait Research Officer, @edusociologist.bsky.social, explores the phenomenon of 'international education' in the region (1995–2022). Co-authored with @drraniasawalhi.bsky.social ‬& Youmen Chaaban. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1... @springernature.com

In the latest @lsehumanrights.bsky.social‬ blog, Anay Mehrotra examines how the famine in Gaza, resulting from Israel’s blockade and aid obstruction, may amount to a war crime under international law and argues for reparations as a step toward justice and structural redress.

History does not forget—nor should we. When states seize bodies under the guise of fighting terror, they do not protect democracy; they dismantle it. Khalil’s abduction is a chilling rehearsal for a darker future. The past is not past—it knocks at our door." www.counterpunch.org/2025/03/21/a...

The Western world does not fully grasp the magnitude of what is happening in Gaza. If they did, they would flood the streets in protest until the genocide ends.
