Eerste keer dat Rode Kruis communiceert over opvangcrisis Dit nieuws verwondert mij niet. Duidelijk dat de regering niet significant boven de 35.000 opvangplaatsen wil gaan. Alles om families van de straat te houden. Alleenstaande mannen mogen op straat belanden. www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20250...

From the start, a central plank of US and Israeli propaganda has been to cast doubt on the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers. What will they say to this, a peer reviewed study carried out by reputable institutions (and to what has been obvious for a year to most of the world inc the ICC)?

Spread word! Peter Van Nuffelen is recruiting two postdocs for his ERC Advanced Grant project 'New Polities. Political Thought in the First Millennium'. The candidates should have experience with Hebrew, Middle-Persian or Arabic sources. Ghent and its university come highly recommended.

La mairie de Toulouse a annulé la tenue d’une exposition de MSF consacrée à la situation vécue par la population civile de Gaza. Une décision que l’hôtel de ville n’hésite pas à justifier en convoquant à demi-mot le spectre de l’antisémitisme. https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/france/070125/toulouse…

Every educational, academic, and cultural institution in Gaza where I studied, worked, or attended a conference or event—every theater, every archive, every historic landmark and site—has been completely destroyed. They no longer exist.

I have always asked, when does the human become a migrant? And when does the migrant become human once more?

Pure colonial condescension here from President Macron, scolding inhabitants of Mayotte for critiquing the indisputable failures of the French state there by telling them they should be grateful to be French. Can't imagine him saying this in a metropolitan department.

Niet de strafmaat van de daders, maar die noodzakelijke culturele omslag is haar verdienste en de belangrijkste verwezenlijking van dit misselijkmakende proces. Moge Gisèle ook buiten de Franse landsgrenzen velen tot reflectie, inzicht en daadkracht brengen. www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20241...

I have often lamented how unaware our colleagues in UKHE are about the conditions of their own colleagues who hold non-UK passports—especially "Global South" ones. So, I am writing a quiz on common misconceptions. Please DM me with any suggested questions.

In his 1792 tract “The Rights of Man, Part 2,” Thomas Paine proposed a graduated tax in which the top marginal tax rate would be 100%. He pegged that top income at £20,000 per year. That would be roughly $4 million in today’s money.

👀 lots of folks QT'ing to say: women — submit your manuscripts! I think what has to come first is: universities, fix your gendered service and teaching inequities, and society, balance out your care work, so women have time to write the damn manuscripts. So many women colleagues are BURNT OUT.

it is a tragedy worth reading and reading and reading again about because of the ways it endlessly informs our present world, and keeps teaching us lessons about the innumerable way those in positions of power would market our lives in and against capital. it is the only creativity they know

It took me way too long, but my book 'Fractured Pasts in Lake Kivu's Borderlands' will finally be out next year with CUP. You can preorder it here. www.cambridge.org/core/books/f... And it's hard to believe, but wonderful scholars called it 'bold', 'provocative', 'original' and 'essential reading'.

Belgian colonial crime of taking away mixed children from their African mothers recognized as a crime against humanity. This does not alleviate the suffering, but it does make me hopeful in terms of recognition of other colonial crimes (committed by Belgium). www.rtbf.be/article/l-et...
