YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

So many great articles on socialist medicine and health in this issue, with a very broad geographical scope!

BREAKING: Zeteo has released, globally, the film the BBC so controversially refused to air.

"Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" is now available to watch in full at gazadoctors.film and zeteo.com.

Here's the trailer:

#ECAS2025, where @alilacandonga.bsky.social and I had wonderful two panels on medical socialist entanglements between Eastern Europe and Africa, including, among others, @severyandyakonov.bsky.social. Also heard some excellent talks on veterans, memory of anti-colonial wars and public health!

Thank you Prague and #ECAS2025 for the chance to share my work! It was especially entertaining to be hosted in the building where my research events happened in 1961. Look up for texts on Socialist Medical Entanglements in the decolonizing world in this OA special issue

Organized Callousness: Gaza and the Sociology of War Published in Journal of Genocide Research (Ahead of Print, 2025)

Gaza and the Sociology of War, open access, with @sinisamalesevic.bsky.social in Journal of Genocide Research

Besides highlighting the similarities in military medicine, disability care, and veterans’ welfare, the paper illuminates the importance of care for the wounded and disabled, and symbolism of the wounded fighter as vital for Yugoslav medical assistance to Algeria‘s FLN.

Thank you!

Finally out! The paper studies Yugoslav medical assistance to the FLN as stemming from the WW2 experience of the People‘s Liberation War, part of the forthcoming special issue edited by @doravargha.bsky.social, @alilacandonga.bsky.social and Luis Aue.

My first article on my current History of International Red Cross project is finally out! I hope more texts on Soviet doctors abroad will come out in the upcoming years. This one is on first Soviet doctors in Delhi.

Research at @rutgershsl.bsky.social in Newark this week, working with papers of Henry H. Kessler, a leading expert in rehabilitation who worked in postwar Yugoslavia and trained Yugoslav experts at his institute in New Jersey, who would later establish the field of veterans’ disability care at home

This Wednesday! 👇

I wish I knew earlier that you’d be nearby, we could have invited you to give a talk in Vienna!

“I_Antifascism”: Convegno internazionale sugli antifascismi dal 1989 a oggi — Reggio Emilia, 28-30 aprile 2025 - Istituto Alcide Cervi

There seems to be a Zoom live stream after all, even though the first day is over now: www.istitutocervi.it/convegno-ant...

There’s no live stream unfortunately, but I think they’re filming everything

Just arrived to Reggio Emilia excited about the 3 days of discussions about antifascism and actors, practices and meanings after 1989 (and curious about “international turbo folk” band playing on the main square tonight) #Liberazione80

Erasing the Yugoslav Revolution: (Mis-)Remembering Antifascism in Serbia and the Post-Yugoslav Space The People’s Liberation War (Narodnooslobodilački rat, NOR), as the Yugoslav Partisans’ antifascist struggle and parallel socialist revolution during World War II were officially termed, was the bi…
