Master in Sustainable Urban Practice 2024. Exceptional group and teaching team - starting day 2 of the Financing Cities module @UrbanAfricaACC @astihaas
For those of us who grew up in and around South Lebanon, today's footage of deliberate destruction, one town after another, is unbearable. I will not share any image. It is just too painful to see, think, or consider. The wounds are so deep, it will take generations to recover.
We'll hope to see you at the seminar this term. Wednesdays 4pm at the African Studies Centre. Most events are hybrid. Full details & webinar registration here: talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/series/i…
Very happy to share this - with @nielsvdoorn @woshihama @chesoriano and @grohmann_rafael we've been working on a set of inaugural essays for @pandsociety and these two are 🔥 for platform research

Almost a year has passed with one massacre televised after another. Time to stop “analyzing” and start seeing: Israel is drunk on violence, fueled by western weapons, engaged in an endless quest for domination through destruction, shaping a bleaker future for us all every day.
Important interview @mona_fawaz
"People are really scared" in Lebanon as Israel escalates its attacks across the country, says @mona_fawaz in Beirut. She also criticizes Western media for uncritically repeating Israeli talking points about "targeted assassinations" when "in fact, it’s targeting everyone."
In this most recent #AtayaSeminar @LizaCirolia presented her recent collaborative work with @AbdifatahTahir & @GoodfellowTom on urban speculation and the role of technology and telecoms in world-making in #Mogadishu
