Well, I guess it’s never too early to post this again —

The working group that co-wrote this document is re-applying for funding and continuing its activities. Have any questions about the group? Please email me at A.Abu-Bakare@liverpool.ac.uk.

We were also greatly inspired by the work of
‪@priyamvadagopal.bsky.social‬ who motivated our project's anticolonial definition with her amazing book 'Insurgent Empire' and Adom Getachew's 'Worldmaking After Empire'.

We were greatly inspired by the following
‪@david-batty.bsky.social 's articles concerning the decolonising movement: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020... and www.theguardian.com/education/20...

In 4 months it will have been a year since some amazing colleagues and I co-wrote 'An appeal to Anti-colonial education at the University of Liverpool' www.liverpool.ac.uk/media/livacu... . It is hoped that this is a helpful resource for educators elsewhere. ‪@liverpooluni.bsky.social‬

Israel belongs in Eurovision Israel’s war on Gaza doesn’t betray European values – it embodies them.

As a long time Eurovision fan, it is difficult to deny the truth about the event when it comes to its politics. This is a brilliant piece by my friend @somdeepsen.bsky.social writing for @aljazeera.com : www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Keir Starmer’s immigration plans: research shows you don’t beat the far right by becoming them In a speech to launch his tough new immigration plans, the prime minister parroted the right’s rhetoric.

Some thoughts on Starmer's speech and Labour's normalisation of far-right politics in @theconversation.com

theconversation.com/keir-starmer...

A panel at the Geneva Institute of graduate studies

This time last year, when asked at the @gvagrad.bsky.social
to comment on the EU’s rise of the far right, I said I was more worried about what the election of #KeirStarmer would mean for the normalization of the far Right and that I couldn’t overlook the politics of my backyard. I stand by that.

Had the pleasure of attending Lanre Bakare’s @lanre-bakare.bsky.social book launch of ‘We were there’ yesterday at Tate Liverpool. I’ve only just started reading but it’s an incredible reckoning of the presence Black power in the North so far ! Highly recommend!: www.penguin.co.uk/books/453942...

Politicians want to normalise what’s happening in Gaza. Our moral outrage won’t let that happen | Nesrine Malik The more shocking the carnage becomes, the more people are punished for speaking out. This just makes it clear how much is really at stake, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

‘The demand is that to be safe from persecution, you must pluck out your eyes. Instead of ejecting Gaza from domestic politics, Israel’s allies have brought the war home.’
