Many thanks for answering my question!
Does "American history" here include both North and South America?
Newcastle Chronicle ran a story yesterday about the government's response to People Against Rafael's petition to investigate Pearson Engineering. It also discusses PAR's research on use of Pearson Engineering's Threat-sense technology in Israeli drones

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.
Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.
We are looking forward to welcoming Mark Griffiths (GPS, Newcastle University) to the Department on January 13th (2-4pm, room W010) to speak about his book Checkpoint 300: Colonial Space in Palestine (University of Minnesota Press, 2025) in conversation with Dr. Lauren Martin from Durham Geography.
A sobering reminder of the new political context in Bolivia: support for the US military invasion of Venezuela with purported support for "democracy" but no mention of sovereignty
Thinking of everyone in Venezuela right now. A reminder to those who aren't Venezuelans or regional specialists that your take isn't required (read and share local commentary instead)
In further evidence that our university employers only care about us as exploitable labour, Durham has suspended staff access to free flu vaccines on 30th November - the official start of peak flu season

Sounds like Structural Adjustment 2.0 in Bolivia: "Funds from creditors including the World Bank and the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF) will support private sector initiatives in infrastructure, renewable energy, and financial inclusion". www.reuters.com/world/americ...
Looking forward to this tomorrow!
The elephant is now the only thing left in the room #COP30
Let's not forget that appropriating and subverting left agendas has been a key strategy of the far-right. Much easier than winning an argument
Our colleague Gavin Bridge has recently co-created a short animation called the ‘Future of UK Oil and Gas’. The film draws on insights from the Fraying Ties project on Networks, Territory and Transformation in the UK oil sector, and was produced by Seed Creativity: youtu.be/8MPHZAhzzLY

I imagine Labour will take it as a cue that they need to be even more racist
Increasingly seeing PhD proposals containing hallucinated publications I have supposedly authored. Wondering if such hallucinations could ever acquire a life of their own and with what consequences 🤔
Despite continuously emphasising their societal contributions to health and sustainability, UK universities appear to make zero effort to ensure healthy and sustainable food is available to staff and students. Or is it just Durham?
This is what happens when (formerly) centrist parties try to copy the far-right www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...
Abstract for chapter on de/coloniality
Sharing a chapter I wrote on de/coloniality, the role geography has in speaking up vs educide including ongoing in Palestine.
If you'd like a PDF of it get in touch 😃
It's part of De Gruyter Handbook of Feminist Political Geography, edited by Sydney Calkin and Cordelia Freeman
Could UK universities please stop requesting reference letters from university lecturers for MA/MSc applicants? We do not have time and it does not provide any information that cannot be gleaned from transcripts, CVs and personal statements (which are often the basis for our letters)
