Syria doesn’t have a new government. It has a new dictatorship with supremacist characteristics.
Syria’s new elite is committed to Islamic thought but open to a wide range of intellectual influences. A novel brand of Islamic presidentialism may be on the horizon, predicts Andrew F. March.

Grotesque treatment of our colleagues at King’s. Solidarity to those facing harassment and intimidation for speaking out ✊
Over the last 2 days pro-Palestine staff and students at KCL have received further threats from the extreme Zionist campaign of harassment and intimidation that has been going on for the last 18 months, including death threats and incitement to violence. Solidarity to all those affected.

Great idea. Also shame on the associations, especially every single Byzantine Studies association that never mentioned Palestine 🍉 while using artefacts from it and producing knowledge about it. Cowards.
We launched the Society for the Study of the Past yesterday at our Palestine event - a response to the fact that our disciplinary associations have failed us. It’s already looking like the only club I want to be in… More coming soon, but for now check it out here: societyforthestudyofthepast.com

The treatment of our colleague Dr Rana Baker is unacceptable. Dr Baker is a serious scholar and a fine person, calling her a “terrorist” is immoral and libellous. We need to stand up for academic freedom ✊🍉
