19th century French lit/cultural history fan, asst. prof of practice of French, lover of Lincoln (NE). Not a fan of more, much prefer enough. Got me a cat, a husband, and a rental full of plants. I read widely, walk far, vote often and early, and teach a lot.

See cover & contents.
Please recommend the hardcover to your university library and pre-order a soft copy https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/decolonisation-and-legal-knowledge
Decolonisation and Legal Knowledge

Decolonisation and Legal Knowledge - Reflections on Power and Possibility; The law is heavily implicated in creating, maintaining, and reproducing racialised hierarchies which bring about and preserve acute global disparities and injustices. This essential book provides an examination of the meanings of decolonisation and explores how this examination can inform teaching, researching, and practising of law.

Et voilà, @lemonde le dit: la démocratie amércaine est "une démocratie abîmée".

Midterms 2022 aux Etats-Unis : un moment électoral de vérité pour une démocratie abîmée

Lors de ces élections de mi-mandat, qui se tiennent mardi, les républicains espèrent reprendre le contrôle de la Chambre, et peut-être du Sénat. Le scrutin se jouera dans une poignée d’Etats-clés.

We're a few days into the current wave of #TwitterMigration, and we're all excited for all the #NewHere folks to have joined.

But please be mindful you are joining a social network that was not a barren, desolate desert before. It was a blooming, cozy garden.

It's not just about finding your old connections from  , it's also about making new valuable connections with folks on here, who might have moved years ago, or who might have never had an account on hellbird.

I have a lot of first-time voters in my classes this semester, so I sent all of my students an email containing:
* Voting hours
* Secretary of State website links to 1) polling place lookup and 2) ID requirements (if any)
* Ballotpedia link to state ballot measures incl. endorsements and donors
* Provisional ballot information
* Social media links to trusted sources on voting/elections

Esp if your colleague/university isn’t sending voting reminders, I encourage you to do the same! #Vote

New from @Brian_Whit ‘Friends in Strange Places’ on #conspiracytheories across the left-right divide. https://newlinesmag.com/argument/friends-in-strange-places/
Friends in Strange Places

A bizarre alliance of anti-vaxxers, 9/11 truthers, creationists and atrocity deniers spans — and blurs — left-right boundaries

I’m sure this has been observed already, but there’s something a little too on the nose about an exodus of academics to a platform named for an extinct species.

Just (and also, somehow, finally?) finished reading the Count of Monte-Cristo. Sad that I likely won't read it again any time soon; mostly because I have so many other work-related things to read, but also because I need at least two years between readings. Attendre et espérer! #books #french #19thcentury #dixneuvièmiste

I’m quite impressed by (a) how helpful existing users of Mastodon have been for all of us noobs trying to learn a new system, and (b) by the deep and widely-held sense of a Fediverse culture (the fact that there’s a “we” that uses content warnings more liberally, alt text more frequently, etc) - it’s complete with a sense of place, ethics, identity. It’s fascinating, and makes me glad to have had the good fortune to stumble into it.
