Looking forward to speaking in London next week on why liberal democracies create militarized police readied for authoritarian rule (spoiler alert: the answer is not about whether you have liberal or right wing leaders but rather is about histories of colonialism).
See you in Copenhagen this week.

If the American Sociological Association wants to stay out of politics and only stand up for university research, then perhaps it should at least be bothered that all 19 universities in Gaza have been decimated. Universities. Bombed. All of them.
I just don't see how shutting ppl out and NOT allowing votes on issues members care abt is constructive here (no matter what the issue in question is)
