Our Aim: Our goal is to rethink how knowledge about Palestine is produced and shared. We aim to move beyond framing Palestine as merely a 'conflict' or 'laboratory' and instead highlight the lived realities of colonial violence and media complicity. By centering anti-colonial thinkers like Edward Said, Aime Cesaire, Fanon, and Sherene Seikaly, we seek to reveal which facts are communicated, and which are silenced. Ultimately, we encourage scholars to rethink methods in understanding and representing Palestine.

Rather beautifully, Professor Mahmood Mamdani's dedication in "Neither Settler Nor Native" is to his trail-blazing son, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. He quotes the revolutionary Chinese writer Lu Xun's famous concluding lines in "Hometown": 「其實地上本沒有路,走的人多了,也便成了路。」 -魯迅,故鄉 #everynightapoem
For Zohran,
You teach us how to engage the world in difficult times. May you inspire many and blaze a trail!
It’s like a path across the land—it’s not there to begin with, but when lots of people go the same way, it comes into being.
—Lu Hsun, “Hometown”

From the dedication page of Mamdani, Mahmood, "Neither Settler nor Native : The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities," Harvard University Press, 2020

this sociology lecturer's account of how the "crisis" of social subjects (文科) in Chinese higher edu is changing the way of teaching evaluation is absolutely chilling. have you heard of AI monitoring "head-raise rate" - how often students will look up during a lecture mp.weixin.qq.com/s/98wVbe8hc0...

酷儿这一身份是折叠的。在一二线城市成长、和在县城或小镇成长起来的酷儿个体可能拥有完全不同的学业和职业背景、身份认同历程、社群经验;底层的或经济更加脆弱的酷儿,可能也更难现身,去讲述自己的故事和困境……

It is with profound sadness that we mourn the passing of Jonathan Sterne, an extraordinary scholar whose groundbreaking work transformed the fields of sound studies, media theory, and the cultural study of technology.

Stayed up all night, anxiously following the news. Yet, the motion to impeach President Yoon failed because the ruling party boycotted the vote. Unacceptable and outrageous. Yoon must be impeached immediately and the People Power Party must be dissolved. A long and difficult battle lies ahead.
