Liberal Zionists can't read the room, can they? Of course there are medievalists involved... As their colleagues (us!) call for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions, they're more than happy to be platformed by them. You can't "both-sides" your way out of a genocide.

"Medieval studies need instead to move politically to a place of radicality, one that would, unlike liberalism, align itself coherently with the work of dismantling the violent and unjust structures in which we think, work, and live." Brilliant piece by Seeta Chaganti for Arthuriana's The So What!

Israel's attacks on the Madleen aid mission to Gaza and the repression of the anti-deportation protests in Los Angeles represent the same imperial logic: any challenge to injustice will be met with state violence. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/figh...

It's that time of year! On top of these benefits, your membership dues likely go toward the Medieval Academy of America's investments in industries of death and destruction. DISCLOSE, DIVEST, WE WILL NOT STOP! WE WILL NOT REST!

WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON? 🧵 (1/3) - For its centennial, the MAA has spent the past two years soliciting member donations. After raising $417k, the Council decided to allocate 75% of unrestricted donations to the endowment. The MAA’s endowment is tied to the S&P 500 through exchange-traded funds.

@medievalacademy.bsky.social only cares about freedom of speech in a performative way. Look at this letter they sent out to their membership about freedom of speech in higher education. Yet, they called the cops on an autonomous group-we don't claim this action!-peacefully protesting the MAA.

These signs appeared yesterday denouncing MAA and Harvard and calling for them to divest from supporting genocide in Gaza! Stay vocal and hold our institutions accountable #MedievalSky #AcademicSky

Israel has killed 500 Gazans since Wednesday. If you're doing business as usual, you're part of the problem. It's not too late to walk out of the #MAA2025, disrupt business as usual, demand divestment, join us for OAMS, organize for Palestine. @medievalacademy.bsky.social DIVEST NOW #MedievalSky

If your first response is to call the cops, you're on the wrong side. Period. We also heard of some ruckus outside the plenary. Wonder what actions might be planed for the last day of the conference? #MAA2025 #MedievalSky #AcademicSky #MedievalAcademy

This is tomorrow. Sign up today!

Hey @medievalacademy.bsky.social, We heard you had some visitors and you called the cops on them. Your $ supports violence overseas, your policies support violence here. We expected nothing else, but we still hope you'll DIVEST NOW #MedievalAcademy #MedievalSky #AcademicSky

‼️ Please support Dr. Steven Thrasher, a beloved workshops4gaza teacher who put their body on the line during Northwestern's Palestine solidarity encampment and is being punished by its administration for it.

Hey, hey, MAA, how many Gazans did you kill today? An autonomous group disrupted the Medieval Academy of America's conference at Harvard University today, dropping multiple banners and redecorating conference signage. #MedievalSky #AcademicSky

This is a terrific model that other fields should be emulating - abandon the genocidal academic associations and create new, better alternatives ❤️

CFP!! Open Access Medieval Studies (OAMS) conference-March 20-22, 2025. We invite scholars at all stages in their academic careers to submit papers centering on the theme of 'liberation,' broadly conceived. Abstract due Feb 14. Proposals due via this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Omg someone responded to clarify that there is in fact, no genocide??!!

MAA: where you can present next to actual génocidaires!

look at @medievalacademy.bsky.social's dream of being relevant finally coming true!!!

As Israel violates the most recent ceasefire, THE MAA HAS FAILED TO AGREE TO DIVEST. It’s time for their membership to show that it refuses to be part of an organization that maintains ties to genocide. BOYCOTT THE MAA AND WITHDRAW FROM THE CENTENNIAL MEETING!

@mforpalestine.bsky.social are calling for a boycott of the Medieval Academy of America (MAA) and its centennial meeting for refusing to divest from Israel. Give them a follow, and RESIGN, REFUSE, REDIRECT! Send funds to Gaza instead! open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com/collections/...

A look at what happens when you don't listen to your membership about divesting from war crimes: www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

On Dec 16th, we sent the MAA our open letter & asked them to forward it to their membership. The letter states that we expect a response with their decision regarding divestment by Jan 10 & a draft of their divestment plan by Feb 1. Here's their Jan 11th response.

We gave the Medieval Academy of America until January 10, 2025 to respond to our letter about divestment. Check out what they told their membership and what they told us on our Insta! www.instagram.com/p/DEyZCEURD1...
