I encountered Joy’s writing, a 23-year-old Palestinian writer & student who wrote her book from tents lnkd.in/eZc-kyZs
You can access her book "By My Pen" for free: lnkd.in/e3ZC6fwP
Please consider making a donation lnkd.in/eaKpKhk7 to help Joy evacuate from Gaza and pursue her studies elsewhere.

Hahaha, that might be a tough boundary to cross 😆 But I echo Vjosa - this is way too kind! And let's keep these connections growing. Hope it's not too long before we meet again in person.

This is the start to my working year (even though it came out on Dec 30) — I was a part of a great Forum organised by Birte Vogel and Nemanja Džuverović.

I wrote about the Global East, and the difficulty of speaking to very different audiences in our research. Wishing us all a more global 2025 🌱
