Scholarship shapes structure. From the analysis of late colonialism to a mandate for urban change, the Mamdani legacy underscores that ideas do not stay in books and can be reclaimed in practice. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

The trouble with electronic student evaluation questionnaires is that they eliminate creativity. For example I once saw a hand written questionnaire in which the student objected to the lecturer’s paisley body warmer he always lectured in and drew a helpful illustration to support his complaint.

Arabic Calligraphy. Joys of a new leisure pursuit . The qalam ( reed pen) might sometime be dipped in ink mid-way of completing a letter and requires a degree like precision. Still a novice but very therapeutic!
