Who truly shapes a city?

New research on immigrant Muslim women in Helsinki shows their powerful place-making through faith & community. They're not just visible, they're actively producing the urban space.

Written for white audiences, 'Becoming trustworthy white allies' offers a reflective, experience-based account of a lifelong commitment to antiracist praxis. Morrison treats “ally” as a verb rather than a noun, emphasising that “allyship” can't be self-ascribed. @dukepress.bsky.social

What drives support for eliminatory violence?

New survey of Israelis finds the Bible's centrality is the strongest predictor. Citing Oct. 7 as major history also predicts it. Citing the Holocaust predicts lower support. Critical research on memory & conflict.

Trying to make sense of race & racism in a world of rising nationalisms, new border regimes, and algorithmic classification?

#ERSNew paper by Luke de Noronha @ucl.ac.uk is a critical read. It argues we might need to cut race down to analytical size to grasp our bewildering present.

Lamia Mellal offers a reflexive analysis of how a sound-based co-production workshop operated as a counter-space within a high school in Marseille, France. It traces how this process evolved, enabling racialized students to be heard, to engage in inquiry, and to co-produce anti-racist knowledge.

#Museums have a representation problem. Colonial narratives & institutional whiteness exclude young people from racialised backgrounds.

Sadia Habib @manchester.ac.uk asks: can #poetry be a tool for anti-racist change?

Yes. It’s about reclaiming space, rewriting narratives, and sharing power.

Drawing on a case study from Germany, Sarah Gerwens @lse-ei.bsky.social shows how anti-racism can become operationalised as (and consequently reduced to) “correct” learning and speaking, which motivates more equitable language use, but ultimately protects white innocence.

School shootings aren't racially neutral. New research shows Black and non-Black shooters face different drivers, and Black victims face unique risks. A racial lens offers new insights into rampage violence—and why prevention must take race seriously.
