Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life' Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

We just taped an episode of @academicaunties.com about white women + white feminism. (Need to provide the usual disclaimers here that ofc we all have white women friends, not all white women are performative in their allyship etc.) It will be 🔥

Mascot rave actually seems like an incredibly effective tactic. There's absolutely no way to spin that the dancing unicorn was threatening.

My summer and early fall obsession w/ #thesummeriturnedpretty has led me to discuss the show in-depth with friends. And so I figured why not chat about it on the pod? In this episode, Nicole De Silva & I analyze the show from an auntie perspective! www.academicaunties.com/episodes/the...

On our latest episode, we take a break from academic seriousness and get into @tungohan.bsky.social 's guilty pleasure: The Summer I Turned Pretty. Listen wherever you get your podcast! www.academicaunties.com/episodes/the...

Resisting Canada’s ‘elbows up’ colonialism Canada’s new “elbows up” nationalism frames itself as resistance to Trump and US expansionism—but it risks recycling colonial myths. By glossing over the Mohawk Resistance and ongoing land theft, patriotic rhetoric hides violence against Indigenous peoples. Real strength means truth, reconciliation, and resisting colonialism, not shallow nostalgia.

ICYMI: Ellen Gabriel and I published a new piece on resisting Canada's "elbows up" colonialism, for @canadiandimension.bsky.social: canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

I love when something practical feels so poetic.

DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrosim is far-right was disappeared.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.

PLANNING FOR REAL: BRINGING YOUR WHOLE SELF TO THE FIELD An APSA Short Course Discussions on Navigating: • The body • Academic Responsibilities • Ethics • Practical Concerns • Gatekeepers • Community • Family • And much more Most fieldwork advice is very general in nature, proffered for supposedly neutral and unmarked researchers. This approach underestimates the variability of researchers’ bodies and positionalities across the span and dimensions of fieldwork including preparing, active field time, and reception. These varied bodies and positionalities are not ancillary to the planning and doing of fieldwork but influence every aspect of it. We take up these concerns in this interactive workshop session, sharing our experiences, insights and expertise, and creating space for participants to integrate their whole selves into planning and adapting field work. Wednesday, September 10th 1:30-5:30 p.m. See program for location

Join our #APSA2025 Wednesday afternoon short course on Planning for Real: Bringing Your Whole Self to the Field!

Ravecca addresses Latin American Political Science in authoritarian times here. Learned of this work from @tungohan.bsky.social

i think people need a refresher on what constitutes a Distraction. the cracker barrel logo thing (zero stakes, obviously invented controversy) is a Distraction. the ongoing military occupation of washington dc (ample footage of random delivery drivers being violently detained by feds) is not

Oh, this is clever

Here’s why Canada’s parents and grandparents reunification program is problematic International conventions dictate that families have a right to be together. But Canada’s current parent and grandparent reunification program makes that difficult.

It's finally out! Am proud of this article that Megan Gaucher, Harshita Yalamarty, Asma Atique and I wrote on grandparent visa sponsorship in Canada! We make the case for the need to strengthen family reunification pathways and to include grandparents. theconversation.com/heres-why-ca... #canimm

Amazing. Right out in the open: "universities are free to do research as long as they're sympathetic to the administration."

I want to personally play this clip in the face of every fucking clown who spent the last several years pretending that the left is the "real" threat to free speech.
