I guess supporting the slaughter and starvation of Palestinians and having Liz Cheney as a spokesperson was not a winning strategy.

Kafka's #Metamorphosis follows a man who transforms into a 'monstrous vermin'. Prof Rosemarie Garland-Thomson uses this story to reflect on everyday changes we face & how they relate to #disability, design justice & ableism. ➡️ Watch: podcasts.ox.ac.uk/keynote-time-t… @eben_kirksey

Many thanks to @ranvir01, @RobbieRinder, & all the lovely people at Good Morning Britain for having me this morning to talk about the lack of enforcement of disability access laws in the UK — and how we must seek smart policy solutions.

Anna Landre was given the Freedom of the City of London award for her disability campaigning and says it is "absurd" she was unable to collect the award on stage due to not being offered an accessible ramp.



Um, pay us please? Taylor and Francis is making millions by selling academic articles to Microsoft AI. At least give scholars and published authors the right of opting out of this money making data grab. thebookseller.com/news/academic-…


Two weeks ago I testified at the Permanent People's Tribunal about serious crimes against humanity and environmental crimes in West Papua. The first public report from the Tribunal was just published.

My report from the Permanent People's Tribunal on West Papua in London. The judges found a "human and environmental catastrophe" in which western states & corporations - desperate to get their hands on West Papua's vast natural resources - are complicit. braveneweurope.com/ben-wray-weste…

I am on a high! We just read Kafka’s Metamorphosis to a packed Sheldonian with students, scholars, the Czech and German Ambassadors and Ben Okri, Lisa Appignanesi, Lemn Sissay, and Hanif Kureshi. We, er, overran a bit but hey, we did it!
