That moment when you enter an exquisite store to buy chocolate and are greeted your book and a signature request!! I obliged, while I enjoyed handmade hot chocolate! (Claudio Corallo store in Palo Alto, California - one of the leading chocolate makers in the world).

We were honored to welcome back alumni affiliate @nourhalabi.bsky.social last week. Nour shared profound testimony from her recent homecoming to Damascus & unpacked emerging journalistic practices in Syria. @asc.upenn.edu @bzelizer.bsky.social
A joyful moment of two people embracing tightly. Nour Halabi, wearing a checkered outfit, smiles broadly with her eyes closed as she hugs an event attendee, conveying warmth and connection. A group of people sits in a meeting room, engaged in discussion. Nour Halabi is speaking, facing several attendees seated in chairs. Large television screens and a video conferencing camera are visible in the background.

"Democrats who have vowed to vote “no” on Mangi’s confirmation are openly giving credence to Islamophobia, calling into question what the party actually stands for."
This Is a Crucial Moment to Stand Up to Islamophobia. Instead, Democrats Are Caving.
Republicans have made Mangi the target of a baseless smear campaign. Democrats are letting it happen.

Shooting people in a hospital, or any act of violence in a healthcare facility is completely unacceptable.

We unequivocally condemn the continued attacks on healthcare facilities in #Palestine. #Gaza

The Biden admin's vetoes on humanitarian aid to Gaza undermine its own UN reform agenda, yet it needs the UN Security Council to work. Grateful to @atherton.bsky.social for letting me argue in The International Policy Journal's inaugural issue that the US's interests rest in letting others lead here

I'm a believer that digital archives are:

1. Important for increasing access to historical records
2. Part of government's duty to preserve and make records available to citizens.

Pennsylvania should not be giving ownership of digital records to ancestry.com

In March, I wrote a reflection on academic activism, "Activist or Academic or Both? The Quandary of Scholactivism for the Minoritised in the Ivory Tower." Here I question both the label "activist" and the role of the academic.
