It’s good to hold this monumental work in Queer Death Studies in my hands. Whole 63 chapters by critical thinkers who insist on a better world. Honoured to be among them. In awe of Nina Lykke, Tara Mehrabi and Marietta Radomska for holding this all together and writing their own life affirming words

Belgium, the country with one of the most murderous genocidal historical legacies of colonial extractivism in Congo is now allegedly extracting from Ukraine amid a Russian genocidal invasion. Why does it all sound so in character of the unresolved historical legacy

If you missed the talk, here’s a core text exploring the USSR as a colonial project and addressing the lack of critical engagement with Soviet settler colonialism and the historical interconnections of socialism and colonialism that ought to be dealt with

I think of the Executed Renaissance, murderous Soviet purges of whole generations of intellectuals from Ukraine across Belarus, Georgia and Qazaqstan… and I think of how little this epistemicidal necropolitics bothered anyone outside the affected societies, including many leading decolonial thinkers

In her talk on ending impunity for Russian imperialism, Oleksanda Matviichuk made a distinction between freedom as self-determination and freedom as survival, which is a significant differentiation that we as philosophers haven’t though on hard enough, and I think we should. Going to take this up

About thinkers from Europe’s East whose work is visionary: it was an honour to meet @avalaina.bsky.social, hear her talk and also get to discuss the reparative work we do with @associationruta.bsky.social in research on/with Europe’s East, Baltic, Caucasus, Central and North Asia in global dialogues

About the analogies: the Putin-Trump occupation plan is much worse than the Munich betrayal as it comes after 11 years of Russian occupation of Ukraine, with systemic killing, torture, sexualised violence, genocidal abduction and assimilation of children, settling of occupied land… all in the open

It is striking how much this is not understood, including by many who regularly weigh into discussions on global justice and from leftist positions

Plus the opportunity to talk about the community of health researchers we’re bringing together with @associationruta.bsky.social, to address the invisibility and (mis)re-presentations of Europe’s East, Central and North Asia in global health research, while going beyond the global North/South binary

Always glad to spend time in conversations with Reza Bayat. Thus happily accepted his invitation to give a keynote in his team’s symposium on medical border making and talk about a vision for transformative technologies, designed in ways that will be able to foster equitable and just health outcomes

A cover of a book about the 1989 revolutions, through the photographs of Jan Šibík. This woman was part of the student protests during the Velvet Revolution that freed many of us in (then) Czechoslovakia, while others remained unfree. What a memento

Overall, the text is a tribute to civil resistance against totalitarian rule and (not only) Russian imperialism and a reflection on the crucial importance of transnational solidarity and de-occupation for women’s liberation and scholarship. So far, beyond our solidarity networks, little has changed

It’s a text I wrote for a special issue of a Ukrainian gender studies journal, exploring feminist solidarity. In it, I critically analyse dominant Western and global feminist responses to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, “anti-war” manifestos and contemplations made by Judith Butler and Jasbir Puar

It’s 17th November, the anniversary of the 1989 Velvet Revolution that overthrew an oppressive state socialist regime and enabled the end of the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia. I share a personal text on what that revolution meant for Czechoslovak feminist thinkers

What ensues in academia when one critiques another’s favourite empire…The charge of borrowing from US frameworks toward a robust critique of westsplaining must be the biggest straw person fallacy to my work so far. How did this get through peer review? But also glad to stand there with Maria Mälksoo
