My book is now in paperback!
Hopefully, it’s more affordable now.
To mark the paperback publication, I spoke with LSE Review of Books on some of its key interventions.

❗️This: 'this 'burnout' that secure scholars are feeling is phantom pain where their colleagues should be. To use a term that every other normal worker in the US uses to describe their workplace: you are suffering from intentional systemic understaffing.' contingentmagazine.org/2023/01/07/a-p…
my brilliant ✨ sisters- comrade Dr Rabea M. Khan and Jasmine K Gani wrote an indispensable article on positionality statements. if you feel seen/ singled out: re-read it as a labour of anti-colonial revolutionary feminist love. i learned so much. 🙏🏾✨academic.oup.com/isq/article/68…
“Shifa has literally become a graveyard.”
After repeated denials by Israeli forces, a World Health Organization (WHO) and OCHA convoy reached Al Shifa hospital in #Gaza .
What they found was a horrific scene of Gaza’s biggest hospital destroyed and deserted.
Hear Jonathan Whittall’s first-hand account.
The inclusion of last night's plenary in the program, to hear from the program chairs on ideas behind the #ISA2024 conf theme & how it came together is brilliant.
Thanks to the generosity & genuine commitment of program chairs Caitlin Biddolph SHWETA SINGH & pres Laura J. Shepherd!
