Still can’t quite believe it, but earlier this week I passed my viva, with no corrections! Big thanks to examiners @jtkoranyi and @rain_later for the thoughtful discussion, my amazing supervisors @DrMirnaSolic and @churnjeet and @sgsah for the support over the past four years!

I believe that the refusal to impose meaningful consequences for the razing of Gaza - indeed its celebration on part of the right - contributed directly to this slide into the abyss. It is already too late, but it is still worth governments saying: no more.

Nations were invented in the 1820s by poets and newspapermen. you’re confusing this with tradition, was invented in the 1880s by cigarette carton manufacturers. Anderson and Hobsbawm are two different guys.
This book needs to be fucking banned. Every liberal with a master's degree is running around claiming 1200 year old European countries were invented by cigarette carton manufacturers in the 1880s because of posts they read on Twitter from someone who skimmed it in a seminar.

Come along for ‘Disruption’ – a curated selection of short fictional films crafted by Iranian women, predominantly based within Iran. Set against the backdrop of Iran’s deeply patriarchal society, these films serve as a much-needed disruption. Tickets: glasgowfilm.org/movie/disrup…

Am trying to identify a recent-ish academic book I noticed a while ago but forgot to note the details of. It's like Bloomsbury's Concepts: A Travelogue; ie it offers theoretical overviews of a number of non-Western ideas/terms. Can anyone point me in the right direction? TIA!!
