I had a fabulous time discussing the importance of decolonising galleries, libraries, archives and museum with @dustinhosseini.bsky.social and Samuel Owusu Achiaw.
What is culture. What are the stories we tell. Whose stories do we tell. These are questions we must ask to begin decolonising!
The annual Walter Rodney Lecture (hosted by the Yesu Persaud Centre for Caribbean Studies, University of Warwick) will be given this year by Professor David Scott (Columbia University) on the 25th November 2025. Please share. All welcome.

"Que se llame violencia polĂtica a una protesta pacĂfica contra un genocidio, pero no a las redadas racistas o a la tortura policial, muestra como estamos ante una lucha por definir quĂ© violencias cuentan y cuĂĄles no."

Brilliantly said, and Iâll add the money we spend on visa applications and language courses.
Itâs unbelievable how an MP can say this and suffer no consequences.
A large crowd marching behind a black banner that says STOP THE GENOCIDE. There a Palestinian flags in the crowd behind. They are marching past a street of white Georgian seafront houses in Brighton.
500 strong Palestine march today in Brighton.
A very small group of about 20 Zionists once again tried their tactic of marching just in front of the Palestine demo with huge Israel flags.
But this time we refused to move while they were there and stopped, blocking the street.

"to accept that the world is broken is an invitation to repair. Humanity stands here with historyâs ghosts in the ongoing ruins of Euro-modernity. And it is in these ruins that we must find the power to repair... to build something new... from these ruins."

AHA council vetoed resolution against scholasticide.
They oddly named HS teachers as 1 reason for veto âŹïž.
We work with teachers all over US who know you can't be an "unbiased historical actor." You're either for or against genocide. AHA council chose a side.

If you've noted the massive failure to mention climate change in mainstream coverage about the LA fires, here is a piece that specifically discusses how climate change has exacerbated wildfires in California in the last decade. The current fires will likely go down as among the most destructive.

Dr Omolola Olarinde draws on conversations between 3 African women researchers unravelling complexities of insider-outsider status in global-North/South research.
My small 2025 request to academics: Stop misusing and overusing the word âdecolonizeâ. Itâs not a buzz word. It has meaning, and often academics say theyâre âdecolonizingâ something but they really arenât doing anything close to that.
By focusing only Gazprom, this article fails to note that Rosneft's profit for 2023 was $14.07 billion, a 47.2% increase from 2022 despite the war - because they now mainly sell to India and China. This âwinding downâ hurts Europe way more than Russia.

âBy refusing to accept the designations of genocide & ethnic cleansing, [âŠ]Israelâs allies force an adaptation on to the world after which it simply becomes accepted that rights are not bestowed by humanity, but by the parties who decide who is humanâ
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
This is becoming the mainstream, consensus position in the global humanitarian / human rights community. It should be recognised and treated as such. Not just in the general discourse, but by policymakers above all. They have a specific obligation to prevent genocide. Active facilitation is criminal
Here, I recommend 20 African novels that we can incorporate into our teaching to ensure we produce learning environments that do not consign Africa and her peoples to the silence of ignorance and distorted narratives. Further suggestions are very welcome!!!

#Italy: Doctors Without Borders forced to end operation of #GeoBarents search & rescue ship due to Italian laws & policies.
They made it impossible to continue with the current operational model, they disregard the lives of people crossing the #Mediterranean.
Our ship saved over 12,600 lives.
Glad this is out now!

Israel has invaded Syria.
The failure of the Western media to refer to an invasion is nothing other than disinformation.
A lie by omission is still a lie. You are being lied to.

Britain is arresting 3X more environmental activists than the global average, while the majority of global north has âincreased sentence lengths for non-violent protestâ and âgiven police new powers to stop protests during them and before they take place.â

Belgium found guilty of crimes against humanity in colonial Congo for separating mixed raced children from their mothers. A tiny sliver of justice that hopefully can opening up to more for the thousands that were stolen.
