My analysis of today's UK Supreme Court judgment.
The UK Supreme Court Rules That Trans Women Aren't Women Under the Equality Act 2010

It's notable that these topics always become shocking for academia when it's white academics from the Global North who are impacted. But if you work in the UK, there are people at your university who cannot travel to archives or conferences because of their immigration status! For sure!
Close up photo of seminar room - Jonas Valente sits at a table in front of the projector screen. The table has microphones and a jug of water. Jonas looks at his laptop. on the projector screen behind him, the title screen of the workshop reads 'Global Southing Internet, Data, and AI Studies Workshop'

spent the last two days at the 'Global Southing Internet, Data, and AI Studies Workshop', organised by @jonasvalente.bsky.social at the Oxford Internet Institute - so many brilliant papers and generative conversations - and enjoyed presenting my own research on Nigeria
AI chatbots are still anti-thinking plagiarism machines that are wrong most of the time. I don’t care who uses them or says they’re great or thinks they’re our collective future. My future involves a lot of thinking, original work, and getting things right, so I have no use for them
Does anyone have access to Samaila Suleiman’s article ‘Archives as spaces of power: The social life of National Archives of Nigeria’? Published in Ibadan Journal of Humanistic Studies, vol. 31, no. 1 (2021). Thanks in advance! #historiansky #nigeria
Thank you, I am trying to remember this!
thank you so much for your kind and helpful words Rob - I’m very grateful for your advice, as always!

Really enjoyed this episode @joshuacitarella.bsky.social and Mike Pepi, with an interesting critique of Bluesky towards the end…
front cover of a book “Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism” by Ariella Aisha Azoulay
currently reading 📚
This from @christophersmith.bsky.social will (like the blog-post immediately before it) be of interest for @kawulf.bsky.social , @alanlester.bsky.social , @sathnam.bsky.social , @nevillemorley.bsky.social and others. Good to see the inherently collaborative nature of historical research recognised.
Will do! Thank you :)
@kimatiwagner.bsky.social another one for you www.cyberneticforests.com/news/social-...
@eryk.bsky.social's ‘The Hypothetical Image’ essay is a great read. I am currently writing a thesis chapter that uses similar frameworks of generative AI, nostalgia, imagination, and history, to analyse historical meaning-making through photography and generative AI in Nigeria.

In this book chapter, some of the women used auto-ethnographic methods to describe the experience. Santos tried to have the book retracted.

thanks anyway! i hope the re-proposal is successful!
Would love to look at the reading list for this module if it’s possible! no worries if not 🙏🏻
This is so cool! why do you think students are largely non-receptive to creative methods? 🤔
People of Bluesky - @thecontinent.bsky.social is your thing: a *finishable* weekly English-language paper, readable in Signal/WhatsApp, full of crisp, excellent #journalism from across #Africa.

There's also a great article by Tayo Agunbiade (who sadly died recently) about the feminist anti-colonial politician Margaret Ekpo and her role in the dispute:

This is happening now in Beirut.
X, as horrific as it got, is a loudspeaker for the silenced. I am still there because of it. We must get intentional about circulating the horrors in Palestine, Lebanon, Sudan if we intend to make this the just alternative.
