Thanks Claudia!

Author’s copies of my book have arrived! It looks even better IRL!

Neoliberalism and Race will be coming out mid-October with @stanfordpress.bsky.social

Turns out the men who founded the Adam Smith Institute held some pretty controversial views on race, IQ, and segregation.

Read my latest blog post here:

Very much looking forward to this!

Why is Palestine a defining fault line of 21st‑century politics? Resisting Erasure places Israeli settler‑colonialism within imperialism, race, and fossil capitalism—not just humanitarian / legal narratives. Officially out & available in paperback & ebook www.versobooks.com/en-gb/produc...

(2/3) ... For reasons I haven't been able to reconstruct, the first five or so volumes of the MQ sported on its back cover an advertisement from the University of Edinburgh asking alumni to donate money towards the upkeep of the uni's estate and facilities.

(1/3) Apropos of the University of Edinburgh's report on its historical relations to slavery, colonialism, and race science:

For the first years of its existence, The Mankind Quarterly was published and printed in Edinburgh, which is where its editor, the intellectual fraud Robert Gayre, lived...

"Snowdon’s is a knee-jerk reflex calculated to protect the neoliberal project and some of its most precious philosophers from what he perceives to be a smear campaign."

This is my cat. In other news, if you have a chronic illness or identify as disabled and are in the UK, I've just co-founded a new support group, AccessingArchives. Instagram: www.instagram.com/aarchivesnet.... You can sign up here: forms.gle/5o8m8Jy9ux4B...

Or hires!

Yeah I saw; it's bleak!

The books I'm thinking of are:
(1) Woodley & Figueredo tinyurl.com/24h9f6j3
(2) Dutton & Charlton tinyurl.com/2z63wp78

Maybe this isn't too surprising given that Richard Lynn was one of the original signatories to the IEA's declaration of intent for an independent uni

I knew it was going to be the Uni of Buckingham even before I saw the full poster. Buckingham, that famous bastion of politically neutral science whose university press published two literal eugenics textbooks in the last 15 years

PS. I'd say that Eysenck wasn't so much 'accused' of eugenics as a card-carrying eugenicist - he'd been a fellow and even active officer of the Eugenics Society since the 40s!

Great writeup! I've been doing some research in the LSE archives over the past month that happens to speak to the Eysenck incident. Fascinating to see how university management and governors spoke internally about the issue; a real sign of things to come in decades to follow

I wrote a report with @cmmonwealth.bsky.social on the current corporate push to privatise outer space - one of the few remaining commons of humanity (dixit international law)

Congrats Carla! Good to see this out in the world
