Really excited for this conversation about Charmian Mansell ([email protected])'s fantastic new book tomorrow, Thursday 30th May, at 9AM PT/12PM ET/5PM BST!

Excited to share that the paperbacks of FICTIONS OF CONSENT are here! Published in Feb but captured by customs/UPS twice, so I’m thrilled to finally have them here - huge thanks to all at Penn Press. And the book is always 30% off with code CHAKRAVARTY30!

It was such a privilege to speak at Britgrad yesterday — huge thanks to the organisers and attendees for having me!

.BBC insisting on reporting racist rioters as 'protestors' and 'demonstrators' is a gross misrepresentation of the violence impacting communities of colour across the UK. Language matters.

Everybody in England witnessing these racist riots should watch Rajesh Thind’s Defiance documentary to learn how communities fought the far-right (and won). Listen to our discussion on Guerrilla History Pod coming soon. Right now watch the doc: channel4.com/programmes/def…

Also check out Preeti Dhillon’s excellent study of black & brown anti racism struggles in the 60’s to 80’s, The Shoulders We Stand On. We discussed the book w/her: guerrillahistory.libsyn.com/black-brown-re… Time to revive solidarities and organize!

Nearly 70% of US faculty members hold contingent (nontenured/non-TT) appointments compared to about 47% in 1987. This trend is not sustainable if #academicfreedom is to survive in our society. insidehighered.com/news/faculty-i…

Friends, today I got to hold my first book, Glorious Bodies, and I’ve never been so proud of anything. If you’re interested in trans history and theology, I hope you’ll take a look.

Delighted to learn that FICTIONS OF CONSENT has been shortlisted for the SRS Book Prize! A huge honour to be part of this stellar lineup. Many thanks to Renaissance SRS and congratulations to all the shortlisted authors 🎉

Enslavers called for 'gradual abolition' for decades to, in fact, extend slavery. They claimed to be working to 'end it', to 'reform and ameliorate'. They were always lying to maintain their power and the status of enslaved people. The 'ceasefire' playbook has a long history.

"Enforcing the mask ban is subjective and will disproportionally impact Black people and people of color, who are more likely to be stopped by police and are also more likely to wear masks to prevent Covid." Great op-ed in STAT by k costello statnews.com/2024/08/20/mas…
