"The absence of justification is not incidental. It is a morbid symptom of an intl system in crisis. The certainties of the US’ hegemonic stewardship of the intl rules-based order have been deformed beyond recognition by the Gaza genocide, but no alternative architecture has cohered in their place"

Girls' school reported to be among first targets of US-Israel strikes on Iran, killing over 50 people. There is no basis for "preventative strikes" in International law; this is, yet again, entirely illegal from the US & Israel. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/...

Call for Papers for #BISA2026! Exploring the relationship between imperialism, coloniality and environmental degradation. This is a joint call with Colonial, Postcolonial & Decolonial WG, recognising that important work is being done at the intersection of our groups. Deadline Friday 24 October.
Exploring the relationship between imperialism, coloniality and environmental degradation
Joint Call for Papers from the Colonial, Postcolonial, and Decolonial Working Group and Environment and Climate Politics Working Group
We are putting out this joint call in recognition that many researchers are working at the intersection of our two working groups - and during a time when the realities of this intersection between colonialism, empire, and the environment have never been more clear. This moment makes evident the interconnections between militarism and settler colonialism and genocide and ecocide, and therefore the need to situate our knowledge and approaches within anticolonial, indigenous and translocal perspectives.
Recognising the importance of scholarship that addresses these issues, we are calling for papers for BISA2026 that are related to the topics of how imperialism / colonialism / extraction / capitalism are in relationship with environmental degradation. This can be on a material level, where the functions of occupation and extraction lead to environmental destruction, or on a more discursive level, where hierarchies of life are used to justify and naturalise ongoing violence against people and places.
Whilst we are keeping this Call quite broad to encourage wide-ranging submissions, some paper topics or research areas might include:
•
Genocide and its links to environmental destruction, for example in Palestine, DR Congo, and Sudan, to name a few.
•
Ecological imperialism – theoretical contributions or case studies
•
Reparative justice and climate change
•
The construction of new ‘frontiers’ – how imperialism and extraction is moving to new areas such as the deep sea or space
•
Anticolonial and anti-extractive organising and decarbonization and fossil fuel phase outs
•
Indigenous approaches on relationality, connectedness and climate justice
•
The role of academics in perpetuating or resisting these forms of harm
Please send your 200-250 word abstrac…

"Race Reports: How universities 'reckon' with their imperial past, and how their investment portfolios say otherwise." www.versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/... Excellent - by @rahulraothariel.bsky.social
Extract from the linked article "Race Reports": "What does it mean for the university to acknowledge the 'displacement of indigenous people' in the nineteenth century as a generative driver of its wealth at the same time as it exhibits a studied indifference or, worse, active hostility to those campaigning against the decimation of the indigenous people of Palestine in the genocide that has been ongoing since October 2023? Within weeks of the onset of the genocide an early facade of institutional neutrality, itself premised on a morally objectionable equation of the violence of the colonised and the coloniser, gave way to outright condemnation of Palestine solidarity"

It's critical to read about this & oppose it. The "terrorism" label is a political weapon for oppressing Palestinians, Muslims, and/or people of color. That's what it was designed for within US legal regimes. There is no way to reform or expand the label that undoes its fundamental colonial nature.

A pediatrician’s two weeks inside a hospital in Gaza www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...
And if I could offer an example around how that manifests: a seven-year-old had deep lacerations to his leg and needed some suturing. It wasn’t a life or death case—it was very simple—but the only pain relief we had was Motrin, which was frankly cruel, and a cruel undertaking. There was no ketamine. And so I tried to use one of my pediatric tools as a distraction. And so I had a light flasher, but he wasn’t interested in any of those designs that I put on the wall. So I tried to distract him from the pain. Usually what I would do is ask questions like, “So who’s your best friend?” I can’t ask that because what if his best friend’s dead? “What’s your favorite subject at school?” He hasn’t been to school in three months. “What’s your favorite food?” I don’t know when the last time he ate would be. Every single facet of their society has been ripped apart. ♦
