I stand in support of the student encampment @Deakin and call on management to meet with protesters to discuss demands. Policing is a dangerous response. As intellectuals we should be capable of better ways of dealing with complexity than this.
NTEU Deakin Branch@DeakinNTEU

The NTEU reaffirms its commitment to supporting this encampment and all encampments across the country. We are calling on all Deakin NTEU members to attend a snap rally tomorrow at 6:30pm at the encampment at Burwood to defend academic freedom from rogue @Deakin administrators!

My forthcoming article (coming out as part of a special issue) on Kenyan citizens stuck in legal limbo because their biometrics are captured in refugee databases raises precisely this concern: UNHCR/refugee data being used for citizenship determination shorturl.at/jk389

Such a rigorous and motivating set of discussions around IDs, documents, registers, digitisation, a bit of biometrics, and changing entitlements to and enjoyment of citizenship. Thanks @CertizensAfrica team and new friends and colleagues!

The grandson of a MauMau freedom fighter can't get a Kenyan national ID due to ID vetting. Omar Gitonga has been applying to obtain his ID since 2021. 3 years later, he's still denied an ID card yet he's a Kenyan citizen. ID vetting is discriminatory. #EndIDVetting #MyIDMyRight

Great to work with @Dalle22 @MustafaM_KE and @BronwenManby on this article busting some myths about how #citizenship and #statelessness work in #Kenya @UNHCR_Kenya @Refugees @thekhrc @HakiCentre @Haki_na_Sheria @NubianRights
Bronwen Manby@BronwenManby

New article out by @MustafaM_KE @NamatiKenya @Dalle22, @SbcsbcC and myself considering recent presidential proclamations in Kenya ‘granting’ citizenship to ‘tribes’ collectively - in many cases to those who already should be considered citizens, if the law were respected
