This was so unflinching. Barnaby should be made full time at Novara. He could replace that boring one

Finally got round to listening to the Rethinking Development podcast's episode on Decolonization is not a Metaphor. @noamangali gives a brilliant assessment of what actual decolonisation must entail. Great stuff from both hosts. rethinkingdevelopmentpodcast.com/listen/episode…

Hi @globalsoctheory @GKBhambra it looks like globalsocialtheory.org is down - I'm just getting an error message (possibly something to do with the Facebook plugin) on all browsers.

It's funny and scary to think of how many hugely important decisions are made on the basis of just wanting the meeting to be over

Why *is* European thought so obsessed with binaries? Why does everything have to be a dualism? Any good histories of this?

Worst part of imagining a better future, after capitalism and coloniality, is the suspicion that - free to value knowledge and curiosity for their own sake - people will spend a huge amount of time studying our stupid present, sifting through an oceanic archive of inane nonsense.

Let’s talk about why Prevent is Islamophobic. Firstly, it is important to recognise that it is by design. Buckle up! 🧵

1/ Lots of talk today about Eastern European "buffer" rhetoric. Here are a few thoughts about that, contingent whiteness, and ethnic cleansing. 🧵

THREAD: I keep being asked when we can go "back to normal" or "like it was before". My personal thoughts: We've added a new disease to our population, more infectious and more severe than flu. The world pre 2020 no longer exists - we may want it to, but it just doesn't. 1/13

There's a phenomenon I actually see extremely commonly when literature is used to teach history to middle school and high school students. Let's call it "pajamafication."

A reminder that the Civil Rights Movement was overwhelmingly unpopular among Americans, especially white Americans, while it was in progress.

See all this effort put into slamming existing universities & making their own sandboxes is actually a huge concession on their part. It is an acknowledgement that they have lost two arguments within existing institutions, desperately though they are trying to flip those. (1/x)

Reading Susan Buck-Morss' book-length version of the Hegel and Haiti essay. It's detailed history, political theory and decolonial critique all in one, while somehow being genuinely exciting to read, like a thriller. The thesis might not be totally new but it's utterly enjoyable.

Charles Mills as always is exceptionally succinct. Here he explains what 'race' is. His work has been exceptionally important to me. He leaves behind him a legacy of brilliance and compassion. The world will miss him.

These photos of a new Amazon warehouse in Tijuana, Mexico have been going viral as the "This is capitalism" picture of the year. But there's a lot more going on here than the picture can tell you. Let's trace the Amazon supply chain! A thread:👇 1/
