Dr. Adrian De Leon puts so perfectly what has been inescapable in the recent media coverage (and, unfortunately, much of the academic and policy discourse, too).

Moreover, as a historian of residential schooling, he is wrong to suggest the wrongs were because of "big, overpowering governments." In fact, Macdonald's government in the 1880s was comparably small but determined to create genocidal policies to facilitate settler capitalism.

I don’t want a hug. I want a permanent ceasefire and a free Palestine.

If you have Jewish friends, please give them a hug. Send them a message to check if they’re ok. We are all crushed.

1/ This is the most persistent myth of academia I have encountered in my career: there is no disinterested position from which to objectively study/teach history, culture, etc. You have to be white to believe this. The medieval university we inherited was political & still is.

I have long been uneasy about a growing compulsion for academics to bring political agendas into teaching and research. (I believe political views are private and that the lecturer has no right to use their platform for propaganda.) Turns out I wasn't just imagining this.

New issue out now, with articles examining settler colonialism via sports, tourism reenactments, historical settler promotional handbooks and surveyor diaries, child welfare policies and practices, and ongoing attempts to decolonize the academia.

And it will be Canada’s loss, intellectually, financially, and reputationally.
So much for internationalization of research.

After a few years of studying the @IRCC-imposed #VisaBarrier to internationalizing research in Canada, we have come to the same conclusion: if visa-required researchers are collaborating, knowledge mobilization activities must take place elsewhere.

I never imagined we would still be here more than eight months later. I keep struggling with how to keep going and what to do, but all the groups tirelessly saying kaddish for Palestine are giving me hope. youtube.com/watch?v=ycIeP0_j…

To put as fine a point on it as possible: seeking asylum already is a legal pathway. We don't need to "expand" it. We need to simply follow the law and protect it.
13 Jun 2024
This is part of why it's important for the broader American public to understand - and the media, whose job it is to inform that public, to include the central fact -that seeking asylum is a right under U.S. law. Asylum is *legal* immigration.
