My next episode on the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social is out and it is one that is of particular interest to me as a scholar of Shia Islam and Gender Studies. I interviewed Cyrus Zargar author of, "The Ethics of Karbala: Myths, Modernity, and Virtues of Nobility." www.linkedin.com/posts/nicole...

On March 8, DHS agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a US permanent resident & student activist for Palestinian rights, from his New York apartment. Mahmoud was targeted for his political speech & activism in support of Palestinian freedom and for an end to the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

I used to say that I ought to get a second-degree because I’ve reached every major milestone in this #PhD during major, social upheaval and political unrest but now it’s next level altogether with geno€ide and fa$cist moves. Freedom of thought and #academic truth remain my bedrock commitment.

Seeking academics, anti-fascist, creatives, community oriented and empathetic humanitarian people.
