Thanks for sharing the event Hannah!

An appeal to folks on this platform…pls consider supporting grassroots mutual aid work regularly in Palestine, Congo and Sudan. I recommend @friendsofthecongo.org.web.brid.gy and
@workshops4gaza.bsky.social and @sdnsolidarity.bsky.social
but there are so many others too! Bcm a monthly donor! (1/2)

We have three urgent requests today:

1. Contribute to a trusted org or individual fundraiser. Don't keep scrolling..

We know that the many requests can get overwhelming - like your contribution won't make a dent. But we have strength in numbers.

Here is one: chuffed.org/project/1132...

Palestinians Stand in Solidarity with Anti-ICE Protestors From Palestine to Mexico, All the Walls Have Got to Go! Palestinians Stand in Solidarity with Anti-ICE Protestors

Palestinians Stand in Solidarity with Anti-ICE Protestors.

Let's escalate boycott and divestment campaigns against companies complicit in ICE's brutal oppression of immigrant rights in the US and in Israel's genocide and apartheid against Palestinians.

• buying drinking/non-drinking water from trucks that deliver from the last functioning desalination plants
• firewood to cook with in the absence of fuel since March 2
• charging phones, laptops, assistive devices at charging points
• tents - a tent gets worn out in about 3 months
• whatever medicine, sanitary items, hygiene products people can find
• disability needs (eg, adult diapers)
• rent (people still have to pay it)
• small furnishings for tents/apartments
• clothes, shoes
• school supplies like notebooks and pens
• solar panels for electricity
• fees to use internet cafes to connect to remote jobs, university studies; get the news; relax a bit
• dignity items (gifts for children; curtains for tents or shelter which are usually bombed-out and therefore lack privacy, etc)
• healthcare (seeing specialists can incur fees)
• for one project, we fuelled a garbage truck to clear waste from a displacement camp for local public health & dignity

Our giving circle transfers funds directly to 6 families + a mutual aid team and isn’t involved in how that money is used, because Palestinians know best what they need & how to get it. But here’s a glance at SOME of the ways the funds are used.

A book cover which has a bright green sky on the top half and the bottom half is a darker green field of plants. The title from the top reads "The violence of schooling across Black and Indigenous Space" in smaller letters with a white background. The main text in green and white reads "plantation pedagogy" and the authors name, Bayley J. Marquez, appears below.

I'll be thinking through some of the implications by looking at Bayley J . Marquez's new book "Plantation Pedagogy: The Violence of Schooling Across Black and Indigenous Spaces".

Excited to be presenting at this conference!

‘Our people were so innovative’: Māori art celebrated in landmark book Toi Te Mana: An Indigenous history of Māori art showcases creative work across a diverse range of mediums

'A new landmark book celebrating Māori art has clocked up a couple of impressive firsts: not only is it the most comprehensive account of creative work by Indigenous New Zealanders ever published, it is also the first wide-ranging art history written entirely by Māori scholars.'

Tomorrow is the WCC’s virtual conference! Should be good! The program looks great!

Tomorrow Cambridge University will go to the High Court seeking to impose an unprecedented ban on protests in solidarity with Palestine from key sites of the university. This is a major assault on longstanding principles of freedom of expression and assembly on campus. (1/8)

Society for the Study of the Past A new history of the world...

We launched the Society for the Study of the Past yesterday at our Palestine event - a response to the fact that our disciplinary associations have failed us. It’s already looking like the only club I want to be in… More coming soon, but for now check it out here: societyforthestudyofthepast.com

Image is a bio page with a white background and black text on the left side and a photo of me (I am in a robe and have flowers in the background). The text reads Ashley Lance is a final year PhD student at the University of Cambridge in the Faculty of Classics. Her PhD is on the concept of race in Aristotle and its implications for his ethical, political, and biological works. She also has research interests in the philosophy of race, social epistemology, and Indigenous philosophy. Ashley is of Wiyot and Yurok descent and an enrolled member of the Blue Lake Rancheria.

Extremely excited to being speaking at the upcoming raceb4 race symposium on Indigeneity next week at ASU!! Really grateful to be able to engage in this type of work with so many amazing scholars and thinkers.

Gearing up for this upcoming Wikipedia Edit-a-thon I got to help co-organize with @solveighilmars.bsky.social and others! We're taking registration and suggested topics until Thursday!
