My mom said that as a child she couldn’t understand why so many Qazaq writers died in the 1937… Writing in any language other than russian meant it will never be published. And then comes the rhetoric how Soviet Union brought “civilisation” - they erased, killed, and imposed

This is absolutely disgraceful. Faculty and staff cannot speak up about harassment and students can’t protest. We owe a duty of care towards our students. Shame on you, @univgroningen “When you expose a problem you pose a problem” Sarah Ahmed

My first experience as a peer reviewer and I really enjoy it! I love the manuscript, learnt so much, the methodology is thorough, the writing is good, theoretical lens - interesting. Such a joy to recommend with very minor revisions and I hope it will see the light soon! 🙌

Time to share this again. Genocidal drive is at core of colonial processes, especially when colonial system’s survival is at stake. Achille Mbembe, Necropolitics (Duke University Press, 2019) p 128

@NadyaaAzerin If you want your voice heard, wait for a foreign researcher to interview you, so you become Interviewee 19, footnote 78. But if we write auto-ethnographically, drawing on context and relationships we formed all our life - this is an essay or a memoir, not “objective research.”

@TerezaHendl I also was super bored by his protagonists - always macho alfa males, while women were merely their objects of satisfaction. You’ve put it so well - talent for word that didn’t penetrate his patriarchal thinking.

She forgot to mention extortionist visa fees international students pay (around 3,000 per person for 3 year); also pay at least three times more the university tuition fees, no right to benefits, how they boost the staggering economy, and often write better than native-speakers

The tens of thousands coming here are not “the world’s best and brightest students”. As lecturers attest, many barely speak English, buy their essays AND bring dependents with them. It’s a con that deprives British youngsters of uni places. No mention of how a city the size of

@DrSBorja It is a matter of self-identification. Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) is a preferred term by many scholars and I side with them.

Every word is gold. This is the best address I’ve ever heard at any international forum. Straight forward, honest, founded in law, empathy, and humanity. Every word of it. It’s that simple and can be expressed in an 11 minute video.

We studied different international law. Right “to self defence” is invoked only with respect to resort to force (ad bellum). Under jus in bello (conduct of hostilities) the actions of Israel are unjustifiable, unfounded in law, and in grave breach of international law

I regret reading russian literature in my formative years. Not only because of imperialism and colonialism but also a horrible image of a woman-martyr who is a footnote and decoration in men’s “heroic” fates. I hope my daughter reads Ursula LeGuin to imagine the world otherwise
