NEW: ‘A Cartography of Genocide’. Since October 2023, we have collected and analysed data related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Our findings indicate that Israel has systematically targeted all aspects of civilian life. tinyurl.com/bdcrnzka

Should we stop using the word #stakeholder in #participatory #engagement research & practice?
Our paper critically examines the limitations of "stakeholder" and its ambiguity, normativity, potential for (further) exclusion & marginalisation.

i hate to connect the dots but the next few years in the US are going to be rough: homelessness criminalized, masking bans, federal agencies stripped of regulatory power, heat waves, etc so it’s best to get prepared now & build a strong community

Local climate adaptation planning is increasingly viewed through a social justice lens. Plans from more Republican-leaning communities considered recognitional and distributional justice to a lesser degree than those from more Democratic-leaning areas tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

On June 7th, an Orange County judge issued a restraining order against the @uaw_4811, rendering their strike illegal. This move goes against California law. So why did he do it—and what does it mean for the strike?

The answer to *WHY* UCLA keeps calling in cops to crush student encampments:
ALT University of California official says system has $32 billion in holdings targeted by protesters The University of California has $32 billion in assets targeted by students protesting the Israel-Hamas war
ALT UC rejects calls for Israel-related divestment, boycott driving pro-Palestinian protests
11 Jun 2024
All this because some students wanted to honor the dead of Palestine. You have to ask yourself why UCLA is doing this. Why is it so important to the UCLA administration to crush student protesters and dissent that they call every cop in LA anytime SJP sets up a camp?

This is terrifying, violent behavior. Campuses are not police states. @UCLA stop militarizing our workplace, cease and desist from using police violence against students and employees.

Remember the president of @Columbia canceled graduation after arresting 200 of her own students? Today those same students stood strong by holding a beautiful alternative graduation ceremony at St. John the Divine near campus.
Major display of student power.👊⤵️

Around 14 protesters with signs calling for UC divestment blocked three entrances to Parking Structure 2 at around 9:20 a.m. UCLA Transportation gave alternative parking instructions to drivers outside the lot.

Urban planning, urban design, architecture, public policy, engineering, I believe this is our field. Are we only able to think and act on the destruction of housing and communities only after decades of hand wringing? apnews.com/article/un-report…
