There's still time to make plans to come to Aziza Kadyri's talk tonight at SSEES.
Aziza is an artist known for her beautiful, emotive rendering of identities, fragmented past and second-hand nostalgia. She's a tireless archivist of diasporic embodied knowledge, memories and feelings. <3

They are killing international studies.
If the UK had a clue that it was possible to do anything other than imitate bad decisions made in the US, it would be inviting these people to come and build powerhouse research institutes across the country.

Russia banned Deutsche Welle today, adding it to the ever-growing list of "undesirable agents." That means it's now illegal in Russia to share DW content, work for DW, or even comment to DW for a story. You can still read it, though, if you're able to circumvent the Internet censors.

"It is too easy, more than three years into this terrible war, to call to mind dinner parties, academic conferences, weddings, where memory folds and unfolds to admit a shadow, because someone who was there, and who should still be with us, has been killed."

A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:βThe male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careersβ
