I got some actual physical copies of my book through in the run up to it’s release by @mitpress on October 10th. After all that effort it’s very satisfying to see it in real life

My Department is creating maps for #Frontex, the EU border control agency, which is involved in the violent pushbacks of refugees.

I wrote @altreconomia to dissociate myself & fight this deal. Universities are complicit in bordering & racial violence: it needs to stop!
