In our first year cluster course we pair it with Fanon, and the students make superb connection.

The World Cup Is Coming. Our Cities Must Protect Their People. Op-ed: As elected officials from U.S. host cities, we know that local governments are the last line of defense against human rights abuses during the FIFA World Cup.

Required human rights strategies from World Cup hosts are also overdue.

"Given FIFA’s history of human rights abuses... it’s alarming that only a few committees have made their human rights plans public" — @kendraphlcouncil.bsky.social, @tiffanycaban.bsky.social, @jackiefielder.bsky.social

"You can see how the sports events coming up are definitely a risk" There is growing concern around the absence of a cohesive human trafficking prevention strategy for LA's megaevent era

There's no plan to prevent human trafficking during LA's megaevents and the World Cup starts in 100 days.

I talked to survivors, advocates, legal advisors, academics, and elected officials who are all sounding the alarm about how this will put LA's most vulnerable communities in even more danger

The Olympics aren’t for us.

Check out the first video in our series about the greedy elites behind LA28.

The total lack of care and concern for WAFCON is starting to appear as not a bug but a deliberate feature.

It’s death by a thousand cuts to the women’s game in Africa. This isn’t an either/or, we can simultaneously be appalled and outraged over the upcoming MWC on US soil and be equally infuriated over Morocco/CAF nonchalance with the women’s game. They don’t deserve 2030. BIAD, seriously.

I don’t even have words to express how infuriating this is. Shame on CAF, shame on the King, shame on the Moroccan fed. Shame shame shame.

Yes, I blame the King. That’s where I normally land on these things.

2030 already has dates into July which is concerning. July and August are the hottest months of the year. What are we doing?

Can we also talk about what the temperature is like in Morocco in July and August? Is this just another attempt to put in hydration breaks for commercial gains?

World Cup Nausea | Los Angeles Review of Books With the World Cup looming in North America this summer, Simon Kuper offers a compelling—and depressing—history of this unique tournament.

If your book only addresses men’s tournaments, it isn’t a story of football or FIFA. Why do we continue to tolerate the men’s game as the only, and singular, narrative?

Hollyhock has some scholarships available. For past iterations, colleagues and non-profit orgs have also sponsored participation of wonderful folks across the planet. If you're looking for a place to sponsor some of your students/post-docs in land-based research-creation methods, please reach out!

However, when you buy tickets, FIFA itself drives you to the official parking for FIFA World Cup 26™ sponsored by Visa, The Official Way to Pay™ website and doesn't even mention the existence of transit.

And as for that cost, yowzers: www.justpark.com/us/event-par...

Women's Africa Cup of Nations confusion - What are CAF and Morocco doing with WAFCON 2026? We are supposedly two weeks away from the Women's AFCON. But will it go ahead? How did we get here, what happens next, and how can CAF's stated commitment to the women's game be trusted after this lat...

“There are questions to be asked about why men's international friendlies are taking precedent ahead of the WAFCON…while Morocco knew about hosting the tournament during this window for two years... why are these conflicts only becoming apparent now?”
