@KristyChatz@feliciambc Felícia Campos talks us through the theory behind her research, addressing the overlap between concepts of space and time in explaining "futurity".
@KristyChatz Now we hear from @feliciambc (University of Edinburgh) on "Palestinan Futurities: rap, #hiphop and futur-making of #Palestine"
She begins by showing us this clip:

@sophysteria@howverykk@aberdeenuni@EdinburghUni@EdinburghUni aka Balfour University you should be spearheading this as your chancellor (Balfour) gave away Palestinian land enabling a decades long dispossession. You owe Palestinians historical reparations. Instead, you let your students starve on hunger strikes!Shame on you!
UCU Scotland executive just agreed solidarity with protests taking place in Scotland, across the UK and internationally by students protesting over Gaza and occupying campuses
🚨Solidarity with @eu_jps' student encampment @ #BalfourUniversity! @EdinburghUni mgmt. shared their commitment 2 the protection of freedom of expression, #studentrights & the safety of students in response to the encampment BUT students get attacked while uni security watch.
BREAKING: Anticipating pro-Palestine campus divestment protests, Portland State University has just announced it will “pause” accepting donations from genocide-profiteer @Boeing, a major funding contributor.
We’ve obtained a copy of the email sent to faculty & students:
URGENT: German police have announced they are shutting down the Palestine Congress and demanded delegates leave immediately. They have threatened to use force and already arrested one of the organizers, Jewish activist Udi Raz. He is the third person to be arrested today, two of them Jewish.
The announcement comes after police stormed the speakers' stage just 20 minutes after the congress had begun, shut down the organizers' livestream and then broke into the control room and shut off the power.
Police then went round to each delegate and demanded they stop livestreaming from their phones.
900 police are deployed to the congress, whose start they held up for hours. They demanded that organizers allow all German media into the congress, ironically to "safeguard free speech" and then denied entry to most of the registered delegates.
The primary aim of the congress was to raise awareness about Germany's complicity in Israel's genocide, for which it is facing charges in the ICJ.

When Israel bombed the first hospital in Gaza, the world wouldn’t believe it and Israel blamed a misfired rocket from Hamas…
Israel has now destroyed all 36 hospitals in Gaza including its largest medical facility the al-Shifa Hospital…
THIS IS A GENOCIDE...🇵🇸💔
🇵🇸 🚨 Edinburgh students are occupying a central building 🚨‼️
They denounce @EdinburghUni‘s failure to act on students & staff’s overwhelming demands for financial + research divestments & boycott
Their statement: https://t.co/dF9jsz9zVd
You don’t murder over 15,000 children, bomb over 300,000 houses, destroy hundreds of schools and universities, ruin ever single mosque and church, destroy every single hospital, attack refugee camps in safe zones, displace millions and get to say it’s a “PLAUSIBLE GENOCIDE”…
THIS IS A GENOCIDE…🇵🇸💔
The US is sending 1,000 soldiers to Gaza on the pretext of building a port to deliver aid, even though there are trucks waiting that could be let in with just a word.
