The Trump administration demands Columbia University put its Department for Middle East, South Asian and African Studies under "academic receivership".

That means removing its current chair Gil Hochberg, a Professor of Hebrew and Visual Studies, Comparative Literature, and Middle East Studies.

Congratulations @simongandrew.bsky.social !
“Media of the Masses” was named the 2024 co-winner of the MLA Prize for Contingent Faculty and Independent Scholars! To fellow scholars, who conduct research amid immense precarity off the tenure track, I see you. My future in academia remains uncertain, but this recognition means the world to me.
