Dive into the latest #UtopiasPodcast episode featuring Roshi @jhalifax. Explore her enlightening perspectives on the transformative power of #mindfulness for both personal growth and community well-being. Don't miss this insightful session—listen now! bit.ly/44kxQW6
Just home. Witnessing online students protest across our nation, as they are subjected to police and National Guard violence as they speak truth to power. I am horrified. Has it really come to this? Yes, it has, and the cost is inestimable.
Some thoughts on last weeks series about The Blind Spot. Why does any of this matter? Science is so powerful that any philosopical story claiming to speak for science is going to end up finding itself embodied in the institutions of power i.e. political economy etc.
New episode of the #UtopiasPodcast will be out tomorrow with @jhalifax, a #Buddhist teacher and social activist, to explore the power of #compassion and interconnectedness in addressing #globalchallenges. Tune in tomorrow to hear more: bit.ly/3vxrTIG

What is happening? This is happening... It is happening now. I was at Columbia and later Paris in 68. We were shaken but undaunted. Let us quickly find a way through this net of terrible knots before even more harm is done.

I'm giving the keynote at this @Columbia symposium about language and #ClimateChange on Friday, May 3rd. And the next day's program looks really interesting and important! Registration is open for both in-person & livestream (link in first reply). Hope to see you there! 💚
Sending in militarized police and snipers to stop students from exercising their First Amendment rights is truly disgusting. Why are my colleagues and the mainstream media more outraged over these anti-war protests than they are about the over 35,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza?

When I was 11, I was a victim of police brutality just for being Black in America. Now I see that brutality being inflicted on peaceful students at Columbia and across the country. We must stand with our students to demand liberation for Palestinians and everyone in this world.
Hands off our students!
CCJ stands in support of the students mobilizing in the “People’s University For Gaza” encampment. We speak in support of the encampment’s right to expression and assembly because the CCJ itself exists, in large part, because of this kind of mobilization. tinyurl.com/CCJ-PeoplesUni…
What I witnessed tonight is like nothing I have ever seen in my life. Complete lawlessness, anarchy, body’s dragged away after scuffles, blood, mace after mace after mace spray, fires, explosives, the list goes on. The school and the city failed the students tonight. Insanity.
May Day, as celebration, as assertion of solidarity, as distress call seems to summarize this moment.
A good friend (@jhalifax) described the difference between "regular hope" and "wise hope" to me thus: Regular hope is the sense that things will be ok. Wise hope is realizing they might not be and acting to live our morals and virtues as a acts of resistance that, if we're lucky,…

"I want to emphasize the irony of having a college that supposedly cares about journalism saying that, if their own journalists leave the [Pulitzer] building, they will be arrested." - @WKCRFM, who should win the Pulitzer for their coverage of the student protests and repression
You may well have the unusual situation of the Columbia student radio station being eligible for a Pulitzer Prize, administered by Columbia University, for the station’s coverage of how Columbia called the cops on Columbia students. (They’re doing an extraordinary job).
I am watching a toddler die on a table in a field hospital in Rafah with half her face blown apart while listening to college students fight tears reporting on a police assault on their campus for protesting that, and I feel like I am losing my fucking mind.
🚨NOW OUTSIDE COLUMBIA! It’s has never been more clear: the people are with Palestine and will not stand for the brutality of the NYPD or Columbia University’s attempts to stop the protest of a genocide!
According to Columbia by-laws, police are not supposed to be allowed on campus without the consent of the faculty. President Shafik does *not* have our approval for this raid; she has not even asked our approval. This promises to be a horrifying dereliction of faculty governance
I will never work with Columbia affiliate on any academic project, collaboration, or research again. This is unconscionable. There should be a full academic boycott of Columbia until the board and president Minouche Shafik resign. This is a disgrace.
