Our panel "Making Space for Protest: Creative approaches to claiming & exploring urban resistance space" stoked so much energy and inspiration thanks to our excellent, generous and generative panellists 👏 at 2025 @rgsibg.bsky.social Annual Conference

INFRASTRUCTURE AS TERRITORIAL STIGMA: Labour Migrant Exclusions in the Indian City The city as an exclusionary place for migrants is widely established across global literatures. Global cities—and the infrastructures that animate them—share practices of surveillance and bordering, ...

Western MSM silence is deafening. Now imagine if this was inside Ukraine.

Very useful set of insights here particularly on broadening and deepening our everyday engagement with UCU beyond ballots on industrial action, with ALL unions representing university staff and - for those of us working on challenging neoliberal violence - practicing what we pr/t-each
