I encountered Joy’s writing, a 23-year-old Palestinian writer & student who wrote her book from tents lnkd.in/eZc-kyZs
You can access her book "By My Pen" for free: lnkd.in/e3ZC6fwP
Please consider making a donation lnkd.in/eaKpKhk7 to help Joy evacuate from Gaza and pursue her studies elsewhere.

Very happy that the brilliant @marcozampieri.bsky.social got the @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social PhD mandate! 🎉

His project "Bare Lives of EUrope: The Italy-Albania Migration Protocol" will be carried out at our @dfuturevub.bsky.social for the next four years.

A very proud supervisor :)

It’s hard to fathom what universe Kurti’s coalition government has been living in for the past two years, but here we are.
Successive agreements & coziness with the Israeli government can't be excused as “state interests”; they reflect the moral and political decay within the ruling parties.

Fantastic article by Gjiltinë Isufi on the spatial component of traumatic memories of political prisoners in Gjilan prison.

She reads the carceral geography and architecture through rain, sunlight, clacking sound of key chains woven in the poems of political prisoners. tinyurl.com/78653yav

"Girlhood At War" made it home!

Unlike anything I’ve written before, this book is a personal story about growing up during Serbia's war against Kosovo and about finding myself, at 14, translating for US NATO troops in its aftermath. (Yes, the young girl in these pictures is me.)

In the cacophony of anti-corruption protests in Serbia and public anger over the EU’s lithium agreement, it is disturbing to see large protest factions platforming Srebrenica genocide denial, glorifying Putin and the good old anti-Albanian fascism. www.instagram.com/reel/DNWZXCP...

I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“

It takes 11 hours 58 minutes and 30 seconds to read out the names of those killed in Srebrenica genocide.

11 hours, 58 minutes and 30 seconds!

In June 2024, we—the YugoslaWomen+ Collective—held actions at CEE-ISA in Rijeka to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.
A modest intervention turned into one of the weirdest & tensest academic events we've experienced.

Actual footage of academics who, after 20 months of a live-streamed genocide in Gaza, have suddenly become enlightened — and decided it’s now better for their careers to call a spade a spade.
