The latest @thirdworldq Special Issue (SI), “Third World Radicals,” explores how activists and thinkers from Latin America and the Middle East & North Africa have exchanged ideas, images, and tactics from the 1950s to today.
Moving beyond headline cases like Cuba and Algeria, its eight articles reveal lesser-known networks of radicalism - from Kurdish grassroots autonomy and Egyptian Marxists in exile to the rise of Islamo-socialist thought and liberation theology.
Together, these pieces show that radicalism was never rigid dogma but a creative, transnational practice reinvented through South–South solidarity and faith traditions.

🔔 Excited to share @thirdworldq's new Special Issue (SI), "Confronting Epistemic Erasures: Decolonising Knowledge, Fostering Resistance and Building Alternatives", bringing together voices from across geographies and disciplines - refugees, Indigenous groups, queer artists, racialised filmmakers, and grassroots movements - all sharing stories of knowledge systems under threat, and the creative strategies of resistance they employ.
From autoethnography to body mapping, the issue features voices from the margins reshaping how we think about knowledge, power, and justice.

This webinar explores how women are shaping food systems and climate-smart agriculture, featuring voices from farmers, researchers, and communicators.

@thetimes@camillalong Re Oxford. An Oxford professor who edited one of journals once observed to me, “If you pulled the bath plug out of Britain, all the water would flow down the plug hole that is Oxford.” So less Dubai-on-the-Wold, more Dubai-in-Marsh.

"The 'Golden Road' of the Indian Ocean was an avenue not only of commerce but of ideas, ultimately giving these regions Hindu-Buddhist statecraft, written language, and epics that remain at their cultural core"
