friends, I invite you to download & read an 8th-cent Armenian history of the Caliphate, published open access just this morning. it includes an intro, edition, translation, reading notes, & commentary. what are the stakes? 🧵⬇️ isac.uchicago.edu/research/publi…
highly recommend this article-- studying multilingualism, situating 15th cent language ideology, bringing the Ottoman court to life & rethinking the place of Middle Armenian, all in one place!
New article alert! Join us today at the polyglot Ottoman court with a colorful language primer from Topkapı Palace. each entry shows 6 different languages, allowing us to study language instruction & Ottoman language ideology in the 15th century
new article alert! join us to explore Ibāḍī history in 8th-cent Arabia, complete with a rebellion against the Umayyads and a fiery khuṭba! this new article includes an Arabic edition & French translation of the khuṭba of Abū Ḥamza al-Shārī
HIND’S HALL. Once it’s up on streaming all proceeds to UNRWA.
Existential riddle time: what do you call a university where the police have free reign but faculty are not allowed to step foot?
1985: the last time Hamilton Hall was barricaded by protestors in hopes of divestment & renamed Mandela Hall. without mass arrests and NYPD on campus. also, grateful shoutout to the @WKCRFM, keeping up tonight and (from the pics) always
In the spring of 1985 we padlocked the front doors of Hamilton Hall, renaming it Mandela Hall, and encamped on the steps for three weeks. Columbia divested from South Africa in the fall of 1985.
Let's say this again: "This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety."
If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents. Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making. I urge the Mayor to reverse course.
CNN's @miguelmarquez: "I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area."
Throughout history, protests were co-opted and made to look bad so police and public leaders would shut them down. That’s what we are seeing now at Columbia University. The Columbia protesters have made clear their demands and want their school not to be complacent in the ongoing…
If you are teaching at CU or Barnard, please join the faculty rally on Monday, at 2 pm on the steps of Low Library. In support of faculty governance & student safety. Return our students to campus, their dorms, dining halls, libraries!
NYPD is on campus in riot gear to arrest protestors. What is this teaching our students?
Columbia has always had an incredible history of students fighting for a more just world and it’s good to see that tradition continue. As NYPD surrounds young activists, I hope their concerns are heard by school administrators and they not be criminalized. In solidarity ✊🏽
All my respect to the undergrads at columbia/barnard who are showing real moral courage in the face of consequences.
Officially out in one week, but apparently copies are already being shipped!
excited to visit @GUArabic this week! there may be treachery, mermaids, marriages, and talismans involved
