Finding Aid: Sources on Palestine | Qatar Digital Library
For over a hundred years, in tandem with the colonisation of Palestinian land, Palestinian history has been systematically erased, suppressed, and distorted. The QDL however contains multiple sources ...
Today is the UN's International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people.
3 years ago, I wrote this article highlighting digitised records on Palestine and Palestinians from the British Library's India Office Records, with invaluable help from Palestinian colleagues:

Fascinating.
Before finding Jaakko, I remember Erik Ringmar discusses the nomad position in the international order too, in his work on non western Δ°R.
Certainly is my next item in a reading bucket list.

This is the cover page of a T20 Policy Brief associated with the G20 Brasil 2024 summit. The document's title is "Fostering a Federated AI Commons Ecosystem" and it falls under Task Force 05, which focuses on "Inclusive Digital Transformation."
The cover features a coral/salmon orange background with the G20 Brasil 2024 and T20 logos at the top. The T20 logo includes the tagline "Let's rethink the world."
The document is authored by three individuals:
1. Joana Varon from Coding Rights (Brazil)
2. Sasha Costanza-Chock from the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School (USA)
3. Timnit Gebru from the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (DAIR) (USA)
The design includes decorative silver/grey curved lines in the corners and a small icon labeled "TF05" (Task Force 05) in the bottom right corner. The layout is clean and professional, consistent with official policy documentation.
Pleased to share this policy paper that I coauthored with Joana Varon from @codingrights.bsky.social & Timnit Gebru of dair-institute.org!

A flyer advertising a call for submissions for the Huntington Library Quarterly. The Text reads: The Huntington Library Quarterly (HLQ) is a peer-reviewed journal featuring original research and new perspectives on the early modern period, broadly defined (c. 1400β1800). Its content reflects an early modern world that was connected and cosmopolitan, with diverse communities and cultures increasingly linked by the circulation of people, ideas, social practices, and material objects in ways that transcend disciplinary and geographic boundaries. We invite submissions that draw on the sources, methods, and theoretical frameworks of literature, art, history, science, medicine, material culture, music, performance, and critical cultural studies, with a preference for scholarship that is broadly legible across disciplines.
HLQβs historical focus on Britain and its American colonies has been dramatically expanded to embrace broader and more diverse fields of inquiry, including scholarship rooted in continental Europe, the African Diaspora, and the Indigenous Americas, as well as their intersections with Mediterranean, Pacific, and Indian Ocean worlds.
The Huntington Library Quarterly (HLQ) invites article submissions for two featured issues that will mark the journalβs new direction. Submissions received before 15 January 2025 will be evaluated for the first of these issues, to be published in September 2025. Submissions received before 15 March 2025 will be evaluated for the second of these issues, to be published in December 2025.
Hello, new followers! Reposting this recent announcement for those who missed it: New era for the HLQ. Please share widely! If you study the #earlymodern period (c. 1400-1800) in any discipline, we'd love to see what you're working on. www.pennpress.org/journals/jou...
