@doctorswithoutborders.org released a report this morning documenting the targeted, orchestrated killing of civilians at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution sites.

Please read and do everything in your power to stop this.

Yet another senseless, catastophic set of proposed university cuts. Given there are only a handful of institutions in the UK that teach Chinese, Korean and Japanese at all, this loss would be felt keenly across the UK academic landscape.

omg a student somehow accidentally wrote an email addressed to a faculty-wide NYU listserv and my inbox is now a master class on who understands the difference between a listserv and an email chain

Wonderful thank you!

Slightly unrelated but since she’s also on the list - how are the Ferrante translations? Any idea?

Screenshot of three headlines in news search results, all from the past 24 hours. 1) Elon Musk Takes Aim at Wikipedia, 2) Elon Musk says his $1 billion offer to Wikipedia “still stands”, 3) Musk Slams ‘Wokepedia’ for Biased Editing, Urges Donation Boycott

Christmas is a good time to throw Wikipedia a few bucks to thank them for the many times you relied on the site that year. Members of the billionaire class want to destroy it for some reason.

(@archive.org is also under constant threat nowadays and in need of support)

The latest issue of Global China Pulse is out! This one delves deep into the online scam industry, and the human trafficking and cyber slavery that accompanies it. As always, it is fully Open Access and free to download. globalchinapulse.net/global-china...

From now on, we plan to publish calls for papers for our forthcoming journal issues. Two calls are already out. The first is for an issue of the Made in China Journal about Chinese youth slated for publication in mid-2025.

We did a staff workshop at UCL on pedagogy for Chinese students for several years in a row. It was very popular (probably too popular for the paltry resources allocated) but yeah it’s not really a coherent institution level effort

Equally problematic are the assignments that that write - I’ve had students asking to have their work removed from Turnitin over concerns that “someone” might identify them down the line. But obv we can’t also change the curriculum to adhere to ever changing red lines, sigh.

Is there a critical mass of people here? 🤔

Please retweet this if you think I should start posting books here!

The number of references I have written in the last 2 months for academics with good jobs in Germany looking to leave the country because of its racism is more than the last 10 years combined.

To clarify for those not in UK academia: this means no foreigners qualify to even apply for museum jobs, anything in heritage or libraries, junior fac jobs, UK postdocs, all are entirely out of the question.

And do that math outside academia- no foreign nurses, teachers, and on and on.
