🪭 My panel was on fire🪭 I should not be allowed to present in French. I cracked so many jokes. Academia is serious business but we all have a good laugh 😂 Oh well! . #SFPS Annual Conference 2025. @sfhs.bsky.social

We’re back for day two of #sfps25! Another full day of panels celebrating 100 years of Frantz Fanon

Given @erinktwohig.bsky.social would be too modest to share her own paper on the @sfps.bsky.social account, I'll do it for her. Great paper on Fanon and football through the FLN organised Algerian team.

Great panel on Violence, Counter-Violence, War at @sfps.bsky.social conference #sfps2025

Dispatches from other parallel #SFPS25 panels! This one sounds great
Jessica Breakey giving an absolutely fascinating paper on Josie Fanon through an analysis of her library. Wonderful that Josie is getting the attention she deserves as an activist, journalist, feminist, radical thinker and woman who made history rather than just witnessing it. @sfps.bsky.social

YES, and this panel was phenomenal! #sfps25

So many good #SFPS25 panels, if only I could be everywhere at once- currently in panel 2A hearing papers on "Philosophy, Theory, Ethics"

For those looking to read more following our first #SFPS25 keynote!
Really proud of my new free-to-access article on Fanon, Tosquelles and Lacan on madness and triggering the end of the colonial world !
