This piece on race, imperialism, decoloniality & #Hindutva came out in 2024 & tho I didn't share it here, turns out was 1 of the journal's 'most read': From dematerialising race to distorting decoloniality: development-as-imperialism and Hindu supremacy doi.org/10.1332/204378…

Our @InhabitationLab Dr @mara_ferreri has been awarded a prestigious @ERC_Research Consolidator grant! beyondinhabitation.org/mara-ferreri-i… I am so happy for Mara: this is so well-deserved. I know her project will have a great impact on #housingstudies A testament to her terrific work & our collective strategy at the Lab.

The video recording of the @bisr_birkbeck public lecture from July “Solidarity with Palestine: organising against scholasticide” is now available at bbk.ac.uk/events/event/4…

The difference in how the killing of Palestinians is described here is disgusting. Israelis are “killed, mutilated, and tortured”. But 40,000 Palestinians in Gaza are just “consequences”.

Looking forward to this later! Do come along if you can. It's a book launch with a difference - performances and a creative workshop

Cristina & Roberto Navarette are two of the most inspiring people I've met They've spent their lives resisting & exposing the Pinochet regime Now there's a film about them - made by their brilliant filmmaker son linktr.ee/mothercountryf… @alboradanet @godoynavarrete1 @pablonav1

Huge thanks to @DrHelenKara organiser of #ICRMC2024 🙏🏼🙏🏼 for putting so much care and effort into ensuring diverse creative expressions and representation. The inclusivity, support for all participants and strong sense of community made this conference unforgettable! 👏🎉

⁦Depletion by ⁦@ShirinMRai⁩ has arrived, photographed here against the needlework done by women in our family. It is an extraordinary book, an event in Intl Pol Economy, which should change conversations about the costs of social reproduction beyond feminist circles.

Delighted to be starting a @BritishAcademy_ Postdoctoral Fellowship @kclgeography this week! Project titled "Children as Co-Navigators: Feminist Political Economies of Care, Family Life & Welfare in the City" (1/3)

An exciting start to the new academic year: I've been promoted to Reader at @QMULBartsTheLon. Thanks to everyone at @QMUL who has supported me, as well as external reviewers. 🙌

No conferencing as usual during genocide. Link in flyer to a pledge calling for geographers to engage with @BDSmovement and to act more to stop the genocide in Palestine. Please also come to a panel on scholasticide and geographical responsibility on Friday #palestineRGSIBG24

Our thoughts are with all racialised communities and migrants who are being terrorised when they should be feeling safe. When successive Governments and media dehumanise people with toxic language such as invaders or illegals, and champion cruel policies, the far right feels emboldened and legitimised. It’s time our political leaders recognise how divisive language, and racist policies result in this violence. The scapegoating and political exploitation of migrants including refugees must end, and our representatives as well as the Home Office must unequivocally stand with people who choose to rebuild their lives in the UK. The government must take all precautions to ensure migrant and minoritised communities feel safe across the country and Parliament must be immediately recalled to prepare for a complete shift on narrative, policy and practice on migration.

We're at the huge anti-fascist rally in Sheffield city centre. Around half a dozen far-right activists were here earlier, but were quickly driven out of Barker's Pool by a crowd of around 500 Sheffielders.
