"The suffering and violence of the period should not be understated, but framing the Cultural Revolution as a descent into political madness [. . .] flattens historical complexity into a morality tale of power and victimhood." My review of Linda Jaivin's Bombard the Headquarters!

Rallying outside the VC’s office for the @NTEUnion National Day of Action for Palestine. Staff and students won’t be intimidated from speaking out.

And 'local' students are not naturally good writers; many also struggle with academic writing. One of the purposes of an arts degree is to help students—wherever they are from—learn effective communication.

Having recently taught a class of 95 students, I can unequivocally say that there is no difference in the quality of acadmic work based on students' countries of origin. And international students can speak, and do participate in class discussions.

In less than 12 hours, I've received dozens of emails from former and current students, staff and academics about this article. Thank you to everyone that has reached out, my DMS remain open (but sorry if I don't reply right away). https://t.co/vmSDElgvty

"Our demands are simple. We call on our universities to disclose all of their ties with Israel, divest from those ties, and sign on to the international Boycott Divestment & Sanctions statement."

[Dr Nathan Fioritti @NathanFioritti]

Deeply concerning that this is the road UoM is choosing to go down. Have they learnt nothing seeing the heavy-handed approach institutions elsewhere have taken. While management send in the police and endanger their own students, staff, particularly educators, stand against this.

“Revolution is no crime; rebellion is justified” - a Chinese slogan from the Cultural Revolution era, seen at the Gaza solidarity encampment in Arts West unimelb.

University of Melbourne students and community snap rally outside of Mahmoud’s Hall (formerly known as Arts West). Day 2 of the occupation.

Singing The Internationale in Chengdu too. Still within the repertoire of relatively safe songs/chants but compared to the national anthem this is pushing the envelope a bit. Contesting the meaning of internationalism

[tash @tashLDN]

The Internationale again as protests spread in China… ✊

Original tweet (google translate): “Students from the main campus of Renmin University of China are welcoming back the girls who protested in the North Park”
