Hi. I'm Andrew. I own New England's oldest map store because last year I moved across the country after an old guy retired and gave it to me Willy Wonka-style. Visit my store in Rhode Island. www.mapcenter.com

From a dear friend in Israel: An Urgent Plea for Gaza - share if you agree and contact your representatives "Israel is dropping in less than a week what the U.S. was dropping in Afghanistan in a year, in a much smaller, much more densely populated area." (Washington Post rb.gy/050xm)

Israel says it will end Hamas rule in Gaza as casualties soar

The deadly Hamas incursion into Israel upended a years-long stalemate. Now Israeli leaders are describing a ground invasion aimed at changing the status quo.

Publishing question. Former student, now professor, has an excellent article but having trouble with venue. It analyzes different positions on private prisons using classical political-theoretical traditions (two main republican trad's & foundations to them). What journals should she be looking at?

Just got ethics approval to start this research project. Looking to interview trans/non-binary/genderqueer/genderfluid noise musicians. If that is you and you want to talk to me for 45 minutes, shoot me an email! Would also love it if people shared this as well!

Black background, a few blue and pink lines and lots of white text. The text says the following:

PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR STUDY ON GENDER IDENTITY AND NOISE MUSIC.

Hello! My name is Peter Woods. I'm an education researcher and noise musician. I am about to start a new research project where I explore (a) gender identity development in noise music scenes and (b) the role gender plays in the creative practices of noise musicians. And I need people to talk to!

For this part of the project, I am looking for participants who:

-Identify as transgender, non-binary, genderfluid, or genderqueer

-Have been making noise music/been involved in noise scenes for at least 3 years.

Participating in the study will involve completing one 45-minute, online interview. Unfortunately, this project is not funded so I will not be able to compensate you for your time.

If you are interested in participating or have any more questions, please contact me at peter.woods@nottingham.ac.uk
