When I quit grad school and left academia, I assumed I would never publish a book. So The @nursingclio.bsky.social Reader is a literal dream come true. And now it gets to sit on my shelf with other publications that I have shepherded as an editor. www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/the-nursing-...

Disability is the one minority group that anyone could potentially join at any time. It spans all ages, classes, races, religions, genders, geography….
Disability justice intersects with every other form of oppression; ensuring disabled rights is key to ensuring human rights.

The push against ableism isn’t just about individual rights.
It’s about dismantling broader systems of oppression that marginalize disabled individuals daily.

Shaimaa has a funded place at Edinburgh to study for a PhD with me, but is stuck in Gaza due to Home Office restrictions. I'm proud of her for speaking about her situation on TV and grateful to reporter Paris Gourtsoyannis for covering her story. news.stv.tv/east-central...
'I have a lifeline scholarship to study in Scotland - but I'm trapped in Gaza'
Shaimaa Abulebda has been given the chance to reclaim some of her old life - but remains stuck in Gaza because of government red tape.

I'm seeing an uptick in journal editors inquiring about @openlibhums.bsky.social and scholar-led, non-profit diamond #OpenAccess as a direct result of the Trump administration's crackdown on EDI and academic freedom. If we want research integrity, we need an independent academic publishing sector.

Shaimaa’s PhD will be funded by @sgsah.bsky.social (supervised by @hannahkateboast.bsky.social Will Tattersdill & me, in partnership with @commapress.bsky.social) - but she is currently trapped in Gaza unless the UK Gov relaxes its requirement for biometric data bsky.app/profile/comm...
Shaymaa Abulebda, an influential writer & scholar from Gaza, should soon be starting a PhD at the University of Edinburgh [part of which is an internship at Comma]. Instead she lives in a tent in al-Mawasi displacement camp in the ruins of southern Gaza.
