Dozens of students at the University of Manchester used their graduation today to show solidarity with Gaza and protest the Universityโs complicity in the ongoing genocide ๐ต๐ธ๐ต๐ธ
Land is a central concern for international leftist struggles. @TaraCanelaWight and I reflect on the #landgrabbing2024 conf and explore what the Scottish left can learn from these struggles in the @Scottishleftrev scottishleftreview.scot/willโฆ

Piece from @heathermcu and I on the need for the left to reconnect with land struggles in Scotland, taking inspiration from international movements. Reflecting on #LandGrabbing2024 conference, with a wee bit of eco-feminist and decolonial theory thrown in scottishleftreview.scot/willโฆ

Wrote a wee thing with @heathermcu about how useless the land reform bill is, and how we can take inspiration from international movements and our own history in the fight for radical land justice
Scotland needs a radical grassroots movement for land justice again by @heathermcu and @TaraCanelaWight bellacaledonia.org.uk/2024/0โฆ
Reflecting on the @ISS_Research #landgrabbing2024 conference in Colombia with @TaraCanelaWight. Disappointed by the land reform bill, but global struggles offer an important reminder: radical land redistribution follows radical grassroots action.

Another day, another video of Israeli mobs - actively facilitated by the Israeli police and army - gleefully destroying food so that children in Gaza starve to death. And we're meant to be talking about the wording of slogans at peaceful protests on campuses.

Brilliant discussions between academics & global land, agrarian & peasant struggles on the implications of land grabbing to social reproduction, financialisation & dispossession, moving past failed interactions between env and land struggles & ofc resistance #LandGrabbing2024
I joined hundreds of colleagues and students today to stand in solidarity with Palestine ๐ต๐ธ And we'll be out in increasing numbers till the @OfficialUoM sever ties with the Israeli arms trade and stop resourcing genocide #stoparmingisrael #FreePalestine #ceasefireInGazaNOW

The State of Israel has switched off all life support to entire 2.2 million people it illegally imprisoned 17 years ago in Gaza and are subjecting the people to continuous bombardment by land, air and sea
We are witnessing the intentional annihilation of a people.

This is @GhassanAbuSitt1, a surgeon who is currently saving the lives of Palestinians in a hospital in Gaza. He's just reported that counter terrorism police have showed up at his house in the UK and harrased his family.

Rewild or Re-wilderness: The dangers of colonial masculinities by @heathermcu bellacaledonia.org.uk/2023/0โฆ
Heather Urquhart retweeted
This is well worth a read. Especially in the context of reintroduction discussion over the last week. โ at Thurso, Scotland
I wrote a blog about the dangers of colonial masculinist fantasies of wilderness in rewilding. These fantasies shape how the land and people of the Highlands and Islands are imagined and inform decisions to transform landscapes.
New guest post!
'Rewild or Re-wilderness: The dangers of colonial masculinities', by Heather Urquhart.
This post expands upon Heather's @MYBISA presentation on the topic of rewilding in the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

Great to get the chance to revisit this article in fab #BISA2023 discussion on the promise of #ecofeminism for remaking our world, with brilliant colleagues @dr_smacgregor @CKWeatherill @heathermcu and many more!
In this article, available at bit.ly/FGNDfe, we argue that #feminist analysis is crucial for exposing the flaws in #GreenNewDeals, the vehicle onto which, in this time of #polycrisis, many in the global north are hitching their hopes @cpduncanson

Excellent presentation by @heathermcu on 'green lairds', rewilding, and claims to land in the Scottish Highlands at the international conference on Nature-Society Relations & the Global Envtal Crisis #gender_climatechange
