An investigation has found that over half of UK librarians have been asked to remove LGBT+ themed books, and the blowhard 'you can't write anything these days' literary clique have nothing to say about it. Why not? Because they're fine with it. 1/ indexoncensorship.org/2024/08/banned…

‘Hope is not abstract. It does not reside in the ideal of a non-problematic social movement but on the basis of concrete utopias.’ – Adriana Marcela Pérez Rodríguez’s analysis of Colombian feminist protests in reimagining politics #FR137: doi.org/10.1177/014177… @adrianadejeasi

The Africa caucus at the South-South dialogue on obstetric violence and respectful maternity care, convened by the O'Neill Institute — a historic and incredibly important event bringing together Latin American & African thinkers/activists. 😍😍

Misoprostol is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medications. It is highly effective at both treating and preventing postpartum hemorrhage—the second most common cause of maternal death after mental health crises

72 Men. All lived within a few miles of her home. One was her neighbor. Not one of them asked for confirmation of consent, despite her being unconscious, not even the man who’s HIV positive. Not one of them asked to talk to her. Not a single one. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Palestinian journalist Mariam Barghouti مريم البرغوثي reports on Israel's brutal assault of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

Enjoyed a fabulous conference on the politics of caesarean section in Lausanne, Switzerland. Such a privilege to be a keynote speaker presenting on the interface between caesarean section & obstetric violence. And Lausanne is immensely beautiful, with its lake & mountains.🩵🇨🇭

The presentation in action…😅

Sometimes I wish that academia realized support (for students, faculty, and staff) could look like giving people time to rest rather than calling another meeting or planning an event.

This is a great way to think about how to contribute to scholarship. Reminds me of Rachelle Chadwick's essay on epistemic generosity. In feminist epistemology, we stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us and will continue the work after us. #phd; #feminist

This anti-lecture sentiment is dire for higher Ed, and honestly for critical thinking. A good lecture is dynamic and interactive, shows how to build and make an argument, is compelling, is a space to think
