Interesante análisis de Nancy Fraser sobre el significado de 'Gaza' como crisis del orden moral occidental que "compite con 'Auschwitz' como símbolo reinante de la atrocidad humana" pero también contiene "un principio de esperanza". newleftreview.org/issues/ii1… via @newleftreview

Such a good read from @LJFinlayson on universities, if depressing. I’ve long thought they were one of the last spaces of potential dissent - at least at the level of ideas - and hated by the neoliberals for it. Btw I defo think it’s a sign of weakness! newleftreview.org/sidecar/po…
