I’m deeply honored to receive the Martha Cheung Award for Best English Article in Translation Studies by an Early Career Scholar!
My article, "Bourdieu's trajectory concept as an approach to microhistorical research in translation", was published in Translation in Society by John Benjamins.
Grateful to the selection committee for this recognition.

لأن جبران وأكثر زملائه ولدوا وعاشوا وماتوا قبل فصل لبنان عن سوريا، كانوا يصفون أنفسهم في كتاباتهم الأدبية بأنهم "سوريون". وقد وظّفت المارونية السياسية بعد الحرب العالمية الثانية جبران وفيروز وميخائيل نعيمة وغيرهم توظيفًا مُكثَّفًا من أجل خلق هوية لبنانية ذات بعد مسيحي فينيقي لم تكن موجودة قبل فصل لبنان عن سوريا بالصورة التي وُجدت عليها بعد الفصل.
ويبدو أن بلدية نيويورك اعتمدت على كتابات جبران وزملائه في توصيفهم لأنفسهم بأنهم سوريون، وليس على توصيف المارونية السياسية لهم بعد موتهم!
وللباحث المصري هشام علي @HMRali أطروحة دكتوراة ناقشها في جامعة لوفان الكاثوليكية سنة ٢٠٢٢ كنتُ أحد المناقشين فيها حول توظيف المارونية السياسية لجبران في خلق هوية لبنانية جامعة، يمكن تحميلها من صفحته في موقع الجامعة:

صدمة جديدة يتلقّاها لبنان.
🔺صُنِّف عدد من رواد القلمية كشعراء سوريين في حديقة عامة في نيويورك.
🔺فجأة أُلغيت الهوية اللبنانية لكل من:
جبران خليل جبران،
ميخائيل نعيمة،
إيليا أبو ماضي،
أمين الريحاني،
عفيفة كرم،
وغيرهم، واعتُبروا أدباء سوريين.
🔺 لجنة جبران الوطنية طالبت وزير الخارجية اللبناني بالتدخل حفاظًا على الحقيقة التاريخية وصونًا للهوية الثقافية اللبنانية.
🔺فهل تُصحّح نيويورك هذا الخطأ الكبير بحق لبنان وتاريخه؟

We are so proud to be an international academic journal that consistently offers authors and scholars a place to discuss the Palestinian question.
This issue combines ten individual research articles and two interviews published across the last three years on Palestine, and collected together for the first issue of 2026.
As usual, this is the result of hard work from various editors and authors across the world, whom we thank kindly for their efforts in producing high-quality and timely content.

For the first an only time, I correctly called the Nobel Prize in Literature. It's Laszlo Krasznahorkai, a deserving and massively accomplished winner.
Hisham M. Ali retweeted
This year’s #NobelPrize laureate in literature László Krasznahorkai is a great epic writer in the Central European tradition that extends through Kafka to Thomas Bernhard, and is characterised by absurdism and grotesque excess.

"Deported" is a pretty weird way to describe people being removed from a country they never intended to travel to in the first place.

What makes liberalism such a dangerous ideology for the oppressed peoples of the world is it dangles the false promise of universalism in front of the treadmill of colonial dispossession

There is no learning without effort
Period. Just ever.
Any promise of "learning without effort" is snake oil
The current students will have no skills and know nothing. This is an extremely bad situation for us to be in

About a week before the start of classes in August, Cornell University canceled Dr. Eric Cheyfitz’s courses, an attempt, he says, to silence him as part of a broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism.
