NEW: ‘A Cartography of Genocide’. Since October 2023, we have collected and analysed data related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Our findings indicate that Israel has systematically targeted all aspects of civilian life. tinyurl.com/bdcrnzka

Should we stop using the word #stakeholder in #participatory #engagement research & practice?
Our paper critically examines the limitations of "stakeholder" and its ambiguity, normativity, potential for (further) exclusion & marginalisation.

On June 7th, an Orange County judge issued a restraining order against the @uaw_4811, rendering their strike illegal. This move goes against California law. So why did he do it—and what does it mean for the strike?

This is terrifying, violent behavior. Campuses are not police states. @UCLA stop militarizing our workplace, cease and desist from using police violence against students and employees.

BREAKING: Directly after the Superior Court’s decision to grant a temporary restraining order against our strike, workers at UCSC entered an extensive process of deliberation. This included emergency dept meetings, two campus-wide meetings, and an exhaustive inquiry. Results 🧵

Remember the president of @Columbia canceled graduation after arresting 200 of her own students? Today those same students stood strong by holding a beautiful alternative graduation ceremony at St. John the Divine near campus.
Major display of student power.👊⤵️

Around 14 protesters with signs calling for UC divestment blocked three entrances to Parking Structure 2 at around 9:20 a.m. UCLA Transportation gave alternative parking instructions to drivers outside the lot.

Urban planning, urban design, architecture, public policy, engineering, I believe this is our field. Are we only able to think and act on the destruction of housing and communities only after decades of hand wringing? apnews.com/article/un-report…
