I am awkward about self-promotion. But assign my books 😇 & reach out if you’d like me to visit your class! ❤️🔥 I have written a political geography intro (@WileyGeoAnthro), an intimate geopolitics ethnography (@RutgersUPress), & co-edited a feminist geog book 😊 (@WVUPRESS)
Fighting awkward feelings to say I wrote a book. I worked hard to start from thinkers & theories that inspire me & my students. So I begin from edges & ideas that aren’t necessarily thought of as central to political geography. Discount code is SSH20 😄 wiley.com/en-us/Political+Ge…

I wrote this piece to historicize the current war in Sudan and to explain some of the external involvement in it, while centering the resistance committees, errs, some of the unions etc.... It's meant as a basic primer for pple less familiar with the context.

From our new issue: "Sudan's Counterrevolutionary War" by @minlayla77 traces key elements of the political economy of Sudan's war and situates it within a longer history of state violence.

Its sickening to witness open calls for genocide. Its also crushing there is no significantly organized mass anti war movement in the imperial core, despite decades of war & years of livestreamed genocide.
"Everything you do, even if small, matters" is ringing hollow for me tbh.

Deeply grateful for this review by Ishan Saraf, the first of a forthcoming forum, which asks of Spaces of Anticolonialism what I'd ask of it, but also pays it the most amazing compliment; that it "does much more than it sets out to do." 🙏 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

I wrote this essay in the current Sudan issue of Transition Magazine titled "The Politics of Hunger" which argues that the current hunger crisis has been decades in the making. It begins with Nimeiri and looks at US engagement over the decades.

Excited/nervous to share this article we wrote about @uncLandBack: "On stolen land, by stolen people: Engaging with legacies of land dispossession & enslavement at UNC-Chapel Hill" James Bryan, @daniellepurifoy, Sara Smith journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
We wrote this about a very nascent project because folks were asking about the work and we wanted to share how it was going in these early stages — now so many more folks have joined and the work is ongoing so this feels like a time capsule ♥️
