New paper, hot off the press. Indigenous (im)mobilities in the Anthropocene, by a bunch of very talented researchers (and me). Thanks to @andrew23baldwin et al. for inviting us to join the SI on Anthropcene Mobilities. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Endless shame on @creative_gov_au and their cowardly Board for their racist cancellation of Khaled Sabsabi, which has given license to others to target him. The damage you have done is incalculable. This is a disgusting and racist action @MonashUni

What people fear about entering Russia is already the new normal in the USA. My colleague in PolSci entered the USA from Europe recently to attend ISA Convention. Her colleagues, all Germans, were forced to open their laptops and show content of their research presentations. 1/

Have you heard about the unholy trinity? Israel, Zionism and Judaism, the unholy trinity! Israel is a country. Zionism a political ideology. Judaism a religion. Zionists believe in the singularity of their unholy trinity. Dont you dare criticise the unholy trinity you antisemite!

The intellectually dishonest definition of antisemitism adopted by Australian universities has basically loaded a gun and pointed it at Palestinian and Arab academics first and foremost. The only way we are permitted to exist as Palestinian and Arab in the academy is if we acquiesce to genocide, occupation, apartheid and settler colonialism. We are expected to bear witness silently, to surrender to the blows dealt on us and not name our oppressor, occupier, genocider. This is a shameful capitulation that not only betrays the core principles of intellectual freedom but exposes the contempt with which Palestinian and Arab lives are held. We have never been safe.

The @JustStop_Oil Stop activists who threw soup over the Van Gogh painting case to demand climate change action, are currently in prison. Right now, the Getty Villa, museum of precious Greek and Roman artefacts, in LA, appears to be on fire. #PacificPalisades
WATCH: The Getty Villa is currently on fire as the Pacific Palisades fire spreads to over 1,200 acres.

Sheer greed. Self interest is always the favorite. Australia negligent. If it does’nt pay, don’t play. Has to be a better way of accommodating the minnows. Hard to believe that there were no Tests for Oz from April to Nov 2024
A report by the Melbourne Age says the ICC chair Jay Shah is set to meet his counterparts at Cricket Australia and the ECB to discuss proposals for a two-tier system to the World Test Championship. What do you make of the reported proposals? #BBCCricket

EXHIBIT: Atlas of Uncertainty is a multi-media research project by ACMS and @MigGovLab. It unsettles the racialised tropes of danger and deprivation informing the manic mapping of contemporary migration and urbanisation in Africa tinyurl.com/2re693b8 #InternationalMigrantsDay

Hi all. Got a new gen-set organised and my Starlink is powered up again. No power, no water, limited comms in Port Vila now. People are helping people, everyone's taking care of each other. Multiple overflights by RAAF aircraft, no landing, so I guess they're aerial surveys.

Another US military base — another patch of spare land gone in Australia.
“For the US, Australia’s Cocos Island base holds “immense geostrategic advantages” as it is closer to a chokepoint for Beijing’s oil shipments than US base of Diego Garcia. “It is ‘much closer to the theater Washington anticipates conflict scenarios’.” thedefensepost.com/2024/08/0…

Rogue think-tank ASPI takes a funding cut — and a reigning-in of its extreme neocon advice. Risking the crime of undue ‘foreign influence’, ASPI is likely to bypass the Australian govt, & seek extra funds from US government and foreign weapons companies. smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

You’d think being a Vice Chancellor on $1m+ salary should be a full time job, but ANU VC Bell kept a paid role with Intel after her appointment, then decides to cut 600 staff. This must stop. ⁦@NTEUnion⁩ afr.com/work-and-careers/wor…
