Nour Halabi's book "Radical Hospitality" sitting among the shelves of chocolate boxes at Claudio Corallo chocolate store in Palo Alto, California
That moment when you enter an exquisite store to buy chocolate and are greeted your book and a signature request!! I obliged, while I enjoyed handmade hot chocolate! (Claudio Corallo store in Palo Alto, California - one of the leading chocolate makers in the world).

A joyful moment of two people embracing tightly. Nour Halabi, wearing a checkered outfit, smiles broadly with her eyes closed as she hugs an event attendee, conveying warmth and connection.
A group of people sits in a meeting room, engaged in discussion. Nour Halabi is speaking, facing several attendees seated in chairs. Large television screens and a video conferencing camera are visible in the background.
We were honored to welcome back alumni affiliate @nourhalabi.bsky.social last week. Nour shared profound testimony from her recent homecoming to Damascus & unpacked emerging journalistic practices in Syria. @asc.upenn.edu @bzelizer.bsky.social

Shooting people in a hospital, or any act of violence in a healthcare facility is completely unacceptable.
We unequivocally condemn the continued attacks on healthcare facilities in #Palestine. #Gaza
The Biden admin's vetoes on humanitarian aid to Gaza undermine its own UN reform agenda, yet it needs the UN Security Council to work. Grateful to @atherton.bsky.social for letting me argue in The International Policy Journal's inaugural issue that the US's interests rest in letting others lead here

I'm a believer that digital archives are:
1. Important for increasing access to historical records
2. Part of government's duty to preserve and make records available to citizens.
Pennsylvania should not be giving ownership of digital records to ancestry.com

In March, I wrote a reflection on academic activism, "Activist or Academic or Both? The Quandary of Scholactivism for the Minoritised in the Ivory Tower." Here I question both the label "activist" and the role of the academic.

This Gen Xer believes it. Some of us have been sounding the alarm on this issue & the overall suffering of Millennials and early Gen Z for a while now. It is a crisis. And some have the nerve to call these young people “snowflakes.”
