It was an enormous pleasure and privilege to chair our first keynote speaker at #SDNDurham2025, Professor Pratima Prasad, with a fascinating paper on enslavement, marronnage and freedom in the French Indian Ocean in a spectacular venue. Very much looking forward to the book! @uksdn.bsky.social

My latest essay is up. “Selma is Stronger than MAGA: On Loving Your Country.” Inspired by the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday…and, ironically Justice Kennedy. READ AND SHARE.
