Really heartwarming to see such engagement today at this important talk on Britain’s complicity in the Palestinian Genocide, with Prof Avi Shlaim, Peter Oborne & Prof Eugene Rogan at the Oxford Literary Festival 🇵🇸 @ox.ac.uk @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social

My review of Sonja Stojanovic's 'Mind the Ghost' is out! A thought-provoking work on spectrality, time and memory in contemporary Francophone fiction from around the world. Highly recommend if interested in literary hauntings and aftermaths of conflict & colonisation. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

This is so true, and a timely pedagogical reminder for us all as educators/tutors/lecturers/teachers/mentors. Incisive and heartfelt words from Ocean Vuong on how we’ve created a world in which students are ‘more and more self-conscious of trying’. youtube.com/shorts/fsGsm...

So, so disheartening. Not just for current staff; or for all of us who have just finished PhDs and are starting out on our academic journeys in the hope there will ever be some semblance of a stable job in the future; or even for the students who will have larger class sizes, less attention… (1/2)
