This is 100% guaranteed to fail as lecture material tomorrow, and yet somehow I feel I have to include this.
"Universities in the United States have long talked about becoming places of diversity and inclusion...But one aspect that has seen little change is the make-up of faculty bodies...So why are US faculties so stubbornly pale? And what can be done about it?"

For #Delhi, for lovers of #photography and #visualculture, for #urbanstudies and for #poetry,this is #documentary at its best! This is also #magicalrealism from the global south! Profoundly engaging, detailed, and ever so sensitively nuanced. @allthatbreathes
" “Maafi ishi fi dunya binkasr ila wa bitsalah,” [...] This prophecy, this hopeful prayer, this almost-question is a guiding axiom for immigrants everywhere. It also conveys the repair staged and insisted upon by this new era of Muslim American television. "

Why Morocco’s win against Portugal seems to matter:
In the World Cup, teams are representing Nations States, so the history of nationalism is important. And specifically the link between colonialism and nationalism as we understand it today. #FIFAWorldCup #MoroccoVsPortugal
Soccer captures postcolonial imaginations because a superstar player, no matter how good, can't dominate alone. The strength of the team as a unit matters more. That fosters a sense of unity reminiscent of collective struggles for independence #FIFAWorldCup #MoroccoVsPortugal
Above all, international soccer, unlike club leagues, resonates with our deep-seated emotions (and perhaps issues) regarding a world divided and organized into countries. #FIFAWorldCup #MoroccoVsPortugal
