Thinking with C.L.R. James about international socialism, popular democracy, and the good life A public lecture by Professor Gary Wilder Thursday 06 June 2024 6.30pm @LSEHumanRights @LSEsociology lse.ac.uk/sociology/even…
Tomorrow, Saturday 27th April, is #FreedomDay 30 yrs ago, 1994’s inaugural democratic and non-racial election marked a pivotal moment in the journey of South Africa’s liberation C. 16 million South Africans of voting age could vote for first time, inc #NelsonMandela 🧵1/2
"This tradition of global labor solidarity has renewed resonance today, with worker calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza proliferating on both sides of the Atlantic." Great piece by @MattieCWebb on US worker activism against apartheid. aaihs.org/us-worker-move…
My new piece in @BlkPerspectives highlights some of the ways US workers & unions advocated for Black freedom & human rights beyond the workplace & across borders, challenging apartheid in South Africa. Thank you @PhenomenalTiana for organizing such an exciting & timely forum!

VCs are guilty of undermining their own universities by collectively remaining silent on the detrimental removal of the cap, while our Union has been pathetic on this issue due to internal politics. Loose loose situation all round.
University crisis. I've read article after article on this, which rightly mention inflation & tuition fees, & international students, but few mention the dog-eat-dog removal of the student cap. Quite a few Hums depts would not be facing current cuts if the cap was still in place
New documents looking at British and American involvement in overthrowing Kwame Nkrumah give us pause to reflect on his legacy, and its resonances today. @Kwatrekwa interviews Yao Graham for AIAC. africasacountry.com/2024/04/kwame-…
Some of the best academics I know work at Lincoln. The collegiality, fantastic relationships with students, and creative research there breed loyalty in their staff (I found it difficult to leave). But it looks as if that loyalty is all one way. #nocompulsoryredundancies

We continue our forum with @nicholasggrant’s fascinating essay on Black-led protests in Houston against the SA apartheid regime’s main airlines. I’m reminded of how diverse and expansive these resistance tactics were, and how today activists deploy similar methods.

This is a brilliant piece by @AmandaJoyceHall on the ACOA and anti-apartheid, posing the question: "what does a movement have to lose in order to win?"

Been thinking a lot about my grandfather whose entire family was killed in the Holocaust. He would never countenance moving to Israel, settling eventually in north London. Acc to family lore, foresaw that only trouble would come of occupying an already occupied place. 1/

My new piece in @BlkPerspectives highlights some of the ways US workers & unions advocated for Black freedom & human rights beyond the workplace & across borders, challenging apartheid in South Africa. Thank you @PhenomenalTiana for organizing such an exciting & timely forum!

New documents looking at British and American involvement in overthrowing Kwame Nkrumah give us pause to reflect on his legacy, and its resonances today. @Kwatrekwa interviews Yao Graham for AIAC. africasacountry.com/2024/04/kwame-…

Some of the best academics I know work at Lincoln. The collegiality, fantastic relationships with students, and creative research there breed loyalty in their staff (I found it difficult to leave). But it looks as if that loyalty is all one way. #nocompulsoryredundancies

In light of Aaron Bushnell and Max Azzarello, I wrote this about the long history of American self-immolation and the politics of protest suicide @ConversationUK @ConversationUS theconversation.com/self-immolatio…

.@RoyalHistSoc has been speaking this week to historians @unilincoln and will be contacting university senior managers. The Society visited historians at Lincoln in May 2022: it's a v. impressive department with vital ties to the region in terms of students, teaching & research.
Incredibly sad as we face 6 more redundancies in History at UoLincoln on top of the loss of 3 valued colleagues (via voluntary severance). We've always punched above our weight in terms of research + teaching and this is such a sad comment on all of that work and UK HE overall.
We continue our forum with @nicholasggrant’s fascinating essay on Black-led protests in Houston against the SA apartheid regime’s main airlines. I’m reminded of how diverse and expansive these resistance tactics were, and how today activists deploy similar methods.
"For the South African government, its national airline had long been integral to its efforts to promote apartheid overseas," writes @NicholasGrant today at @BlkPerspectives. Read the full essay: aaihs.org/the-fight-agai….
It’s really hard to describe the pressures of being an academic at risk of redundancy. You still have to deliver everything the job demands (and normal working conditions demand way too much, prompting years of industrial action) in teaching, research & admin …/1
"The ANC’s 1994 electoral victory and its memory, however, obscures this tension within the global anti-Apartheid movement," writes @AmandaJoyceHall today at @BlkPerspectives. Read the first installment in our forum, "The End of South African Apartheid" : aaihs.org/african-libera…
