Don’t underestimate the ways universities profit off of intellectual radicalism and activism. They love it on campus in the context of publications and workshops as long as it isn’t directed at challenging the structure of the university itself.

Harvard needs to DIVEST from prisons (and fossil fuels)! Sign the petition.
Replying to @CornelWest
@CornelWest signed the @HarvardPDC petition to divest Harvard's endowment from the prison-industrial complex! We hope his endorsement encourages other thought leaders with Harvard affiliations to endorse their names on the right side of history! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Can’t agree more about need to teach political economy that decenters North as basic #GlobalHealth. Paper recommends great Birn/@ygpillay/@timothyholtz book. But what else? Particularly core/foundational pieces by global South authors on health + global econ? @DecolonizeGh
Must read @LancetGH Comment - "We must therefore challenge approaches to Global Public Health training that fail to recognise global inequalities of power, unsustainable economic growth, and ever-widening inequity. " @DrTolullah @RICHE_Africa @Cambridge_Uni @MRC_Epid @paimadhu

Brilliant line: "We might not be noticing it, but in our pursuit to decolonize global health, we could very well end up becoming neocolonizers ourselves." @RenzoGuinto @DecolonizeGh internationalhealthpolicies.…

Anne-Emanuelle Birn discusses the continuity of colonial medicine, tropical medicine, and global health. I regret to confirm. This is widely demonstrated by historians but not yet recognized by the mainstream of #globalhealth. @DecolonizeGh #throwbackgh

What is the meaning of the King holiday when white supremacists like Trump snd Steve King can offer meaningless tributes like this? For all of us that insist on honoring the radical legacy of King & his powerful critique of US society the posturing of these creeps is exhausting.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his all for all. I have long agreed with his speeches and writings. Today I think of this MLK quote, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” May we renew ourselves in his teachings so that he can RIP.
