@GrimKim absolutely must see the work of @tressiemcphd. One place to start would be her essay on blondes

The purpose of this year's symposium is to address a critical gap in Hindutva scholarship. While academic engagements have examined its ideologies, strategies, and politics, far less attention has been paid to Muslim agency, resilience, and creative responses (2/6)

Rest In Peace, Prof. CM Naim sahab (1936-2025) !

He was a leading light in Urdu studies.

@CharlesJSchmidt could pair it with selections from Joyce Flueckiger's "Everyday Hinduism." Also could think about assigning portions of "Sita Sings the Blues," a retelling of the Ramayana from an American woman's point of view. For you, might want to read AK Ramanujan's essay "300 Ramayanas"

this clip is quite old, but anyone feeling surprised or shocked by today’s result clearly hasn't been paying attention. Obviously I'm biased, but my mate David had a clearer diagnosis of contemporary politics than anyone alive now.

[Organizing for Power @o4p_global]

Join @UCBLaborCenter this Thursday at 5pm US Pacific to honor Jane McAlevey. Berkeley was an important intellectual and teaching home for Jane in the last years of her life, and the great work they do there is imbued with her theory of change and accompanying organizing methods.

@Asad_Ashraf88 Laurence Gautier's new book on the histories of Jamia and AMU would provide essential historical context to these developments, seems to me.

[Jaclyn Michael @JaclynAMichael]

@moubanerjee28 congratulations! Enjoyed your Delhi talk.

@RAHMArainsONme I'm spending more time this semester talking to students about how AI use produces questionable results, and the environmental harm and labor exploitation involved with it

[Jaclyn Michael @JaclynAMichael]

@RAHMArainsONme same. and I'm not sure about the integrity of the ship while we are being told (forced?) to board it 😀

Thahir Jamal Kiliyamannil (@jamal_uoh) identifies comparative shifts in legal claims about mosques from the theological to the secular, which indicates an erasure of Muslim religious expression from Indian public space: https://t.co/dF3IzrJtO1
