Shocking abdication of scholarly ethics by the American Historical Association which hired a Washington DC lobbying firm to ensure anticipatory obedience and quash a popular movement to condemn Israeli scholasticide in Gaza: www.chronicle.com/article/a-sc...

In the past, AHA executives have been quite content to let members pass popular resolutions against such events as the Iraq war, and to make official statements opposing events like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Regarding Palestine, though, they have decided that the AHA cannot take “institutional positions on an active geopolitical conflict,” lest the Trump administration take notice and find some way to revoke its congressional charter. Over the last 20 months or so, they have taken a series of what they have called “unusual steps” to quash every effort by the AHA membership to pass a resolution against the mass atrocities in Gaza, including vetoes of three separate popular resolutions acknowledging those atrocities as a genocide.

Dr @saramarzagora.bsky.social from @kingsdllc.bsky.social will develop the concept of genre pedagogy – the deliberate labour of authors to make new textual genres legible and persuasive – with focus on early 20th century Ethiopia and the role of literature in cementing the nation's independence.

4 of the hunger strikers are still going. And unless we up the pressure the state is going to get away with killing them. Please read this and use our toolkit to take action. www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Hunger striker loses ability to stand as the strike hits day 55

As hunger strikes reach day 55, the message from strikers is clear: 'Don't forget Palestine,' urging the British government to meet with them

Reading Rooms at the British Library are closed *all week* because so many of its workers refuse to work for pitiful wages in a contemptuously authoritarian and obliviously managed environment. We need leaders who get it and are big enough to sort it out! It’s a mess and a disgrace. Lift it up!!

There is no trade-off between pay and jobs. Don't let the employers fool you otherwise. This dispute is on three things: 1.Pay uplift = at least RPI+3.5% or £2,500, on all pay points 2.Protection of national agreements on T&C's 3.A national agreement to protect jobs & subjects #WeAreTheUniversity

Hey fellow historians. If you feel, as I do, that the American Historical Association needs serious change, I would consider voting for this slate in the current election.

Oh! We so seldom get to share good news! But Glasgow managed to stave off compulsory redundancies and is developing a trial with the ucu branch to move some research staff onto open-ended contracts. 🥳 It IS possible! qmucu.org/qmul-transfo... #UKHE

Glasgow put 80 staff members in the Social and Public Health Sciences Unit in at risk of redundancy in November 2024 as a result of funding withdrawal by MRC and the Scottish Government’s Chief Scientist Office. After a brief dispute in March 2025, the university improved its VS offer for the unit, guaranteed it for all staff at risk of redundancy, and instead is now developing a trial with the branch to move some research staff onto open-ended contracts.

On Monday in Turin I will discuss the launch of an important documentary. It tells the story of the CALP - a collective of dock workers in Genoa - who, for many years, have been refusing to load ships carrying weapons. True anti-militarist praxis. Check for 'Portuali' online in the future.
