I'm writing an article that deals in part with the career of MIT civil engineering prof John B. "Bud" Wilbur, class of '26. Did you or any of your mentors/elders know him? Please get in touch! #mit#engineering
#Boston-area Jews and allies are here at the #MIT encampment with MIT Jews for Ceasefire, uplifting students’ demands, singing for Palestinian liberation, and calling for an enduring ceasefire.
We need to bring more attention to the university-specific #bds demands that the students of the #studentspring are making: companies invested, dollar amounts, research relationships, etc. So far, the divestment aspect seems to be lost, when it's actually the most important part.
As the #MIT Scientists Against Genocide Encampment enters its third night, MIT Jews for Ceasefire are holding a #Passover Seder. We are so proud to support these Jewish students and allies, embodying their values in the face of extreme censorship.
Students at #MIT, #Emerson, #Tufts set up pro-Palestine encampments after #Columbia arrests (Boston.com, 2024-04-22)
"Pro-Palestinian students at several prominent Boston-area schools spent Sunday night in tents after more than 100 Columbia University students were arrested for participating in a similar demonstration last week.
"As of Monday night, dozens of protesters at MIT, Tufts University, and Emerson College are occupying outdoor spaces on or near campuses to demand the schools cut ties with Israeli companies and military and call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war."
"MIT Jews for Ceasefire were represented at the tents, the group said on X. MIT reportedly moved the location of Seder for MIT students celebrating Passover from nearby Hillel to an undisclosed location, but Jews for Ceasefire is hosting a Seder at the encampment."
@palestine Kuffiya: #MIT, #Emerson, and #Tufts University students established encampments in solidarity with the #Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University.

In Walled States, Waning Sovereignty , Wendy Brown reflects on the proliferation of nation-state walls in a time of eroded nation-state sovereignty and intensifying transnational powers unleashed by globalization.
How do walls shore up an imago of sovereign statehood and to what extent do they fortify reactionary national imaginaries? What do the new walls perform symbolically, materially, mentally?
Reflections on Water: New Approaches to Transboundary Conflicts and Cooperation
This book offers conceptual and empirical support for the idea that the human relationship with water must move beyond rationalist definitions of water as product, property, and commodity. Depending on context, water may be a security issue, a gift of nature, a product of imagination, or an integral part of the natural or cultural ecology.
