It's the first day of the fall semester here at the University of Mississippi! Wishing everyone a term filled with new knowledge, big questions, bold curiosity, and compassionate inquiry. And remember, in the words of Nel Noddings, "The student is infinitely more important than the subject matter."

I’m hiring a postdoc! Flexible in terms of details, but I’m looking for someone to collaborate with on research about labor market inequality. I’ll review applications as they come in and the posting just went up here: apply.interfolio.com/178873

I left X once. Then went back to get banned and I did. Why are there any lefty’s on Twitter X still? The left is as performative as Libs. And I see it. So why can’t you? If you’re a “leftist” on X you’re not a leftist. You’re only there for your ego. They ain’t left.

Feels like I’ve been away from praxis for a while, and it’s time to pick up my revolutionary vibe again.

It is also an important reminder that “[t]he tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the ‘state of emergency’ in which we live is not the exception but the rule.”

Today is Walter Benjamin's birthday, an important reminder that you can be unemployable for most of your life, die while trying to flee fascist persecution, and still become an entire publishing niche market decades after your death. There is hope, just not for us.

I feel so powerless over everything. From stopping genocide to managing my own pain in this chaotic world we call “modern life.” It’s getting harder and harder to find a reason to keep going.

The Iran–Israel war shattered the illusion of whiteness for many Iranians who once believed they were seen as white.

I’ll be in Tehran to support six elderly households and vulnerable people, including patients who can’t move during treatment. They once stood by me in my research; now I’ll stand by them. I have safe options. They don’t. I won’t turn away now.

Dozens of explosions shook our neighborhood in the past few hours. People poured into the streets in fear. It has been a terrifying night. Hoping for peace and safety for everyone.

@behnazmirzai.bsky.social's 2017 book A History of Slavery and Emancipation in Iran was groundbreaking. Had it been available earlier, my MA thesis would have been much richer. I look forward to reading her new book. It surely continues her vital contributions to Iranian historiography.

Designed one of my courses this semester around the theories and practices of gentrification. Student experiences made it come alive, especially through discussions of racialization in Iran and rural displacement. I didn’t expect the class to be this engaging!

International NGOs largely continue to support a Eurocentric framework for development, even as they claim to be "decolonising" their practices. @surbhikesar.bsky.social and I explain our research on the Reimagining Development podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/36yd...

Beyond "objectivity," some excuse their silence by saying, "not my expertise." A social science that fragments Sociology, Anthropology, Economics, and Political Science produces a docile subject, which is ideal for masking fear of power.

The odd thing is that quite a few Marxist economists, led by Steedman's book on Marx after Sraffa, were the only ones to take Sraffa seriously as totally undermining their key concepts (e.g. the role of Marx’s labor theory of value). [1/3]

Eugenics was and continues to be a pseudoscience. The rise of white nationalism has given it new wings, and academics must push back. Thank you @nature.com for stating this so clearly.

Just joined this platform! After spending 6 years on X (Twitter), I finally decided to make the move here. I was never super active over there, or on any other social media, really. Here, I’m mostly looking forward to reading posts from people I respect, and I’m slowly starting to follow them.
