Last year, Didier Fassin of the College de France and the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton wrote a powerful indictment of the consent facilitating Israel's slaughter in Gaza. His book has been translated into English, and I interviewed him for Diwan: https://t.co/n8K1o6YKqR

After the collapse of the dictatorships in Iraq and in Libya, we found abundant proof of their brutality. But Assad seems to have been distinctly vicious.

As the Assad regime in Syria falls, many refugees are coming out of exile and returning home. But what situation are they returning too?

Just arrived back in Delhi to find the city embalmed in an all-enveloping burial shroud of pollution. Even at 2pm impossible to see 100m across the runway.
I've never seen anything like this in forty years of living here. What a fate for the City of Djinns- still, at its best the most fascinating of cities, but currently a tragic, choking death-trap.
A nice start to the weekend - happy learning that our article was elaborately used in this @EADI training video for Early Career Researchers, as an example of how to write a qualitative research paper! https://t.co/LeEQltUM6C
Very pleased to see our article published! https://t.co/wqwhM9jOmE
Based on our collaboration in the DWELL project spanning India, Finland, Norway and the UK.
Not yet Open Access - we're working to resolve that soon!

This is insanity. Calling for the evacuation of a whole city is a first since this war started. Aside from what this means in terms of hell for people, Baalbek is a historic city with the largest Roman temple still standing in the world.
💔 The heart bleeds at the scale of the devastation. This is #Kfarkila. #SouthLebanon where Israel is imposing a forced depopulation by destroying everything, buildings and agricultural fields.
Today, the entire special issue in Environment & Urbanization has been published...do have a look at an undoubtedly rich set of papers on forced displacement responses in urban settings: https://t.co/3KSBSfDCmC.
