- New paper out in #openaccess on role of infrastructure in territorial stigmatisation Available here: www.ijurr.org/article/infr...
- The stigmas faced by labour migrants in Indian cities gained global attention during the Covid-19 response. This paper shows how such stigmas are long-standing, reinforced and represented through the very urban infrastructures migrants help build 📖 www.ijurr.org/article/infr...

They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

- Interested in the role of urban infrastructures in territorial stigma? In IJURR's @ijurresearch.bsky.social latest online issue I draw on case of labour migrants to argue how spatial + social 'taint' interlock in complex, competing ways in Indian cities #urban #infrastructure #migrants #labour
- Reposted by Nabeela AhmedThis isn't Gaza. This is the West Bank which is run by the PA not Hamas. It is being decimated, homes destroyed, over 40,000 Palestinians displaced so far with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Western MSM silence is deafening. Now imagine if this was inside Ukraine.
- Very useful set of insights here particularly on broadening and deepening our everyday engagement with UCU beyond ballots on industrial action, with ALL unions representing university staff and - for those of us working on challenging neoliberal violence - practicing what we pr/t-each
- I wrote this for @bjsociology.bsky.social on organising in universities & the work we all need to do to defend & remake the university. It's a reflection on being heavily involved in UCU with practical tips on what everyone can do, esp. now with redundancies. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

- Very impressed this was put on by otherwise-disappointing Barbican (See censorshipatthebarbican.com ) 'the imaginary institution of india' on for 2 more days!
- 📸 Dr Pavan Mano reviews The Imaginary Institution of #India exhibition at the Barbican Centre, which 'reveals both the fundamentally invented nature of the modern nation-state as well as the often violent exclusions that sustain it.' Read more 👇
