'Security is more than ever a central theme in the study of international migration' according to our guest editors Darshan Vigneswaran & Philippe Bourbeau who introduce the Security Dialogue Special Issue on Insecurity, deportability and authority: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

A fantastic collaborative effort drawing together #migration scholars and visual artists to compile a counter-cartography of #African #mobility.

So... here's the first step, in Enrike van Wingerden and my efforts to build a research programme on the politics of outer space.. there's an easy video abstract for my lazy pals :) The terrestrial trap: International Relations beyond Earth | RIS | bit.ly/4bc0Nqc

for the second time in three days, University of Amsterdam administrators make complaints to the police which result in violence against their own student protestors, this time at Binnengasthuis. rb.gy/0fydt4

Dear UvA Amsterdam, who was responsible for the decision to call the police on Monday night? Who is responsible for the decision today? As a bare minimum, your students and your staff deserve a statement that does not contradict other official sources.

We are horrified. A statement by UvA Amsterdam staff, and a call to our colleagues.

A comprehensive little video showing the unbelievable violence unleashed by the UvA Amsterdam board on their own students.

Join colleagues at the UvA in this walkout protest against the actions of our executive board. It is not a crime to protest genocide. Asking the police to violently evict protesting students is an abdication of our most basic responsibility as educators.

Over the last two years or so Darshan Vigneswaran and I have started debating, exploring, and worrying about the colonial and material politics of outer space. In our new RIS piece we lay out why! ⭐️ doi.org/10.1017/S02602…

UVA management admitted this morning that its strategy of violent escalation failed. 4 steps to a dignified defeat: 1. Acknowledge the ICJ ruling on genocide. 2. Agree to end complicity in genocide. 3. Let students occupy the REC lawns. 4. Guarantee their safety.

Still time to register for the 'Democratic Futures' seminar at IAS, June 13th. Organized by Thijs Bol and me ias.uva.nl/content/events…

Can't wait for this first opportunity to present some of the work Enrike van Wingerden and I are doing as part of our Decolonising Outer Space project - and in conversation with an amazing artist and author. Should be fun!

Professor Joel Quirk is coming to Amsterdam! He'll critically discuss what it means to #listentosurvivors in the fight against human trafficking and modern slavery - 20 June at noon Hosted by Darshan Vigneswaran at the Amsterdam Research Centre for Migration. arc-m.uva.nl/content/events…

I can promise, Joel is much more than a beard and moustache. Looking forward to having him in Amsterdam! Amazing scholar, super generous with early career scholars.

Not a sea change in British politics but a splintering of the right. I guess I'll take it?

So the Wits Senate finally published its statement on Gaza calling for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire. It took months of work to get here. I’d be much more excited if it was February and not July, but at least we got there in the end wits.ac.za/news/latest-ne…

How do foreign policies and transnational projects become resistant to critique? Read about it in Darshan Vigneswaran, Nora Söderberg, Natalie Welfens and @saskiabonjour’s latest EJIR article! You can find the full publication here: t1p.de/o3jp4
