Academia loves to decolonize everything besides occupied land. Its silence on Palestine is enough to know how decolonization has become a metaphor signifying everything besides material change and collective resistance.

I’m not sure how this is even a question. Yes, scholars should be paid for their labor. Fine, say “we can’t under present conditions,” but if the question is what’s *fair*, that seems pretty obvious!

Tomorrow I’m recording a conversation with Tom Boomershine, one of the pioneers of performance criticism, for the biblical studies-talkie podcast series. Curious about Mark (and other NT “texts”?) as performed, and how that relates to the settled gospel and synoptics? Episode sometime next week!

It’s excellent to see this released: fresh translations of Omar’s Arabic writings and a compelling argument to replace the convenient missional narratives of his enslavers. Also extremely curious to see Omar quoting Romans 10:9 at one point!
