When I learned my father was active in the 68 movement, it was 1988 and they were trying to reflect on what had happened back then and since. When 9/11 happened, I was a first year graduate student in NYC, a month into my new life. Some say it has been 25 years since. Time is unfathomable.

doğru bir hayat sürmenin ölmekten dahi zor bir mesele olduğunu düşünen biri öldüğünde sevdiklerine düşen görev nedir? ölümünün yasının ötesine geçememek mi, -onun da adına- doğru bir hayatın kendisini tercih etmekte ısrar etmek mi?

About 2 years ago, I listened to a presentation by a Greek colleague on affect and cockroaches in the military service. It was such a creative piece. I hope he has published it since then.

Four tenured faculty members and one on the tenure track were abruptly fired by Virginia State University when their program was closed. Forget about your governance they weren’t even given advance notice in their dismissal! Tenure is effectively dead www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...
“We have nothing written that tells us that we have been terminated because of this reason or that reason, because of changing programs or whatever. Nothing. Not an email, not a letter,” Temu said. “We even submitted a [Freedom of Information Act] request for that … and they only gave us copies of our past contracts.”

Obviously misconduct in public office is a serious matter. But decades of abuse of women and girls? That some criminal offences are actionable and others are not, that some are more acceptable to the establishment than others - this itself perpetuates a network of impunity.
