"We will keep writing things that make university admins feel good about their complicit behavior so long as they keep renewing that institutional subscription."

“Free & Equal: a Journal of Ethics and Public Affairs”, the open-access journal created by the editorial team that resigned en masse from “Philosophy & Public Affairs” earlier this year, is now open to submissions.

In Deutschland werden jüdische Stimmen, die die Politik Israels kritisieren, immer wieder des Antisemitismus bezichtigt und diffamiert. Als antisemitisch gelten diese Ausgrenzungen aber nicht. Diese Verzerrung ist hochgefährlich – und bildet den Bodensatz für einen neuen deutschen Patriotismus.

While the German left passionately supports many international causes but remains conspicuously silent on the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, conveniently overlooking its own complicity in Germany’s military-industrial ties to Israel. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/09/the-german-lefts-complicity-in…

Despite the horror we are watching unfold in Palestine, the movement challenging Israel has seen unprecedented growth and accomplishments in the past year. https://buff.ly/3U5sOsG #Palestine #Israel

Assist the Internet Archive by keeping up to date with the case brought against them by publishers and signing their open letter asking publishers to restore access to the 500,000+ books removed from the Archive so far: www.change.org/p/let-reader....

This is terrible news even for those of us with access to some of the largest academic libraries in existence — who often still need to consult the Internet Archive to complete our research to as solid a standard as possible — let alone for anyone else.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢, the first Special Issue of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘓𝘢𝘸, 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘈𝘳𝘵, is now out in print and online.

"For eight months since last October, Israel has massacred and displaced more than three times as many Palestinians in Gaza as it did in all of Palestine during the Nakba."

Cambridge has its moments, and having been illuminated by a celestial storm was definitely one among them.

With two weeks left before the deadline for the upcoming issue, remember that articles can arise out of any of the disciplines covered, are usually from 2,000 to 8,000 words long, and ought to be in by 1 March 2024. Submissions are especially encouraged from candidates underrepresented in academia.

Sisters of Frida, a brilliant collective of disabled women and non-binary people, is now finally at the stage of having the funding to do their vital work — including opening up eight new, paid steering group posts, five reserved for people of colour. Please do share and/or apply! t.ly/Ci_Sk

"Attacks and smears against those who proclaim “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” were always part of a strategy for erasing and undermining Palestinian self-determination."

Across the world, people standing in solidarity with Palestine in the face of Israel's genocidal siege are being silenced and punished for their principled stance. We are launching a call for stories of censorship and retribution for demanding justice for Palestinians.
