My NYT op-ed this morning I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/o...

We (a group of academics and scholars) are calling for an immediate end to #Israel’s war against #Iran and #Palestine. If you support this call, please add your name to the petition here. Thank you! #solidarity #ceasefirenow #petition docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The masks are coming off: human values and international law seem to count for nothing anymore. This was already evident when the world did nothing to stop the genocide in Gaza. As you read this, Israel is still killing civilians who are already displaced & starving. www.standaard.be/opinies/je-k...

Netanyahu’s illegal unilateral attack on Iran risks a full-blown war. These strikes directly undermine the U.S. diplomatic efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program. Talks were planned for Sunday, but Netanyahu chose to attack. We must not be dragged into another Netanyahu war.

Like many other #Iranians living outside the country, I’ve been watching anxiously and worrying sick about my family, friends and loved ones in Iran. When they can get a stable enough internet connection, they tell me about the constant fear and uncertainly they’re living in.

We had the great honor of hosting Amin Ghaziani @aminghaziani.bsky.social at the Amsterdam Center for Gender & Sexuality this week. We learned about his amazing research on club nights & the book Long Live Queer Nightlife: How the Closing of Gay Bars Sparked a Revolution @aissr.bsky.social

🕺🏽The Closure Epidemic: Why are gay bars disappearing? What comes next? Join our Amsterdam Research Centre for Gender and Sexuality this Friday for @aminghaziani.bsky.social’s talk on queer nightlife’s joyful, mobile reinvention 👇 23 May | 15:30 – 17:00 🔗 arcgs.uva.nl/content/even...

Seeking to navigate the political turbulence in NL with a steady compass, I wrote this essay. So we can defend what needs to be defended: Higher education and the right to protest. Rendez-vous in Den Hague, Monday Nov. 25. 1pm, Malieveld. www.diggitmagazine.com/refusing-mor...

Right-wing accounts & #bots have become active here too. I’ve noticed an increase in #racist #anti-Palestinian bots using derogatory language in their interactions. As others have suggested, the best approach is to #report & #block them. Engaging with them only gives them the attention they seek.

We collectively agreed to donate all royalties to Gaza. Please order Handbook for your library (publication July 2025). My chp theorising coloniality of sexuality will be of interest, but another far better chp on decolonising/ debrahminising queerness enacts epistemic transformation.

So glad this book is widely read as it should be. Just wrote a contribution to a sequel, looking in particular at how German academia has been shaped by an ongoing socio-historical legacy of imperial Aryan racism, actively degrading thinkers and scholarship from Europe’s East in the past and present
