Welcome to Bologna, #EISAPEC2025! We’re having a Concepts and Theories section get together tonight- come by for some casual “networking”. We’ll be sitting outside at Piazza Giuseppe Verdi from 8-9:30, likely in front of Bar Freud & Cantoncino (look for the EISA lanyards). All welcome!

Two days left to get your applications in for EISA's Bologna Conference! If a trip to Italy isn't enough, how about a space entirely focused on theoretical and conceptual conversations? We've got some exciting programming in the works- I'll drop a teaser tomorrow!

Thinking about applying to the @europeanisa.bsky.social conference but looking for a place to discuss the concepts and theories that cut across all our work?

well do I have NEWS for YOU
Poster for a "Concepts and Theories" section at the EISA pan-European Conference. It says: As researchers, we engage in practices of theorizing, and in working with concepts we inevitably work on concepts. This section creates a space for conversation across theoretical and sub-disciplinary divisions. To build a diverse intellectual community we welcome a wide range of approaches to knowledge production and encourage participation by marginalised and early career scholars.

Had a fantastic time in Chicago at @isanet.bsky.social, but the jet-lag is kicking my butt, whew

We want to use the symposium as an opportunity: not just to critique what exists, but to practice new kinds of scholarship together. As we prepare the call for papers, remember that we want to encourage interventions in a wider range of formats!

Definitely 'Race and Revolution at Bwa Kayiman- cannot quantify how meaningful this piece has been. @robbieshilliam.bsky.social's work inspired me to think more creatively about what my scholarship could be.

Virgin Media paid the Metropolitan Police after they obtained search warrants for their private prosecution.

Nearly 20,000 people are presently detained in profit-making prisons.

Eleven died in a fire in a Dutch detention centre run by G4S. 2 years later, they were re-awarded the contract.

Viva tomorrow. Terrified. But skimming my thesis again actually made me feel more confident in what I submitted. Going to do my best. See y’all on the other side- hopefully with good news

North Carolina’s Atrium Health says it will forgive the debts of 11,500 people — less than a week after NBC News reported that the company has aggressively pursued former patients’ medical debts, placing liens on their homes to collect on bills.
'Like a miracle': N.C. couple free of nearly $100,000 medical debt after 15 years
The lien on Donna and Gary Lindabury's home for a 2009 heart surgery debt was among 11,500 wiped away by Atrium Health after an NBC News report.

Academic job market:

If someone's primary function as a leftist is curation -- dividing leftists whose politics are good enough from those who should be condemned for their insufficiencies -- plz understand, that's brand work. That's not organizing. It's not building anything. Those people aren't offering you anything.
