I'm giving talks on Indefensible Spaces: Policing and the Struggle for Housing in LA, Berkeley, and Chicago this fall. Please reach out if you're interested in an event in 2026!

Indefensible Spaces is available in print and open access digital: www.ucpress.edu/books/indefe...

True solidarity is based on people power and must, above all, be accountable to Palestinians……..Palestinian liberation and an end to the genocide in Gaza will require the continuation and escalation of this solidarity across the globe.

Egypt Has Leverage Against Israel. Why Doesn’t Sisi Use It? Rhetorical solidarity isn’t enough. Egypt can use its leverage to help stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

@truthout.org published this today, and it took me so much thinking. Egypt Has Leverage Against Israel. Why Doesn’t Sisi Use It? truthout.org/articles/egy...

I am honored by this recognition, it is more meaningful than any academic award, coming from the community and the @arabamericanmuseum.org.web.brid.gy

Congratulations 🎊 This is wonderful to hear!

Dear Dr. Abdelhadi, The Keough School of Global Affairs, which houses the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, recently learned of your keynote speech at their student conference next weekend. The University of Notre Dame requires that all events or lectures related to Israel/Palestine have ND Police security and planning. We were unaware of your planned lecture, and since this conference overlaps with two other annual events on campus, we cannot provide security at short notice. For this reason, we respectfully request that you do not participate in the conference. The Kroc Institute will honor any honorarium that was awarded for this event. We apologize for any inconvenience. Sincerely, Mary Gallagher -- Mary E. Gallagher Marilyn Keough Dean Keough School of Global Affairs University of Notre Dame

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...
