On Monday, I'll join the Italian national strike for Gaza. But retracting labour is hardly enough. I'll dedicate my next lecture in history at Unibo to discuss imperialism, Nationalism and the histories of Palestine in the 20th century. Most importantly, stop the war! Let all people live in peace.

My keynote at the @inthiseui.bsky.social conf today will explore my new work with Arie Dubnov on the links between contemporary leftist ideas for confederation in Israel/Palestine and their imperial intellectual roots. Looking forward to the conversation!

As we approach our tenth anniversary we thought it was a good moment to update our "Aims and Scope" to better reflect how conversations in the field have developed over the last decade. The new version is now live, read it here: www.tandfonline.com/journals/rgi...

Alt Text: A Chinese literati, a Japanese gentleman, and a European scholar sit together at a table. The two men at either end have a form of a book in front of them: one a handscroll, the other a bound text. The Japanese man has no book and instead holds a fan while a white snake encircles his wrist.
