I can't get over how UChicago President Alivisatos criticized the Gaza solidarity encampment--with its 24hr food pantry, at builds, & multifaith religious service--for its military ETYMOLOGY, and then he sent REAL militarized riot cops to raze everything to the ground at 4 AM.

The students are running a beautiful, peaceful democratically-administered encampment, with teach-ins, rallies, a library, film screenings, and 24-hr food service. They have regular Jewish and Muslim prayer, with allies using kufiyas to provide privacy covers at every prayer. 4/

But of course the encampment is not an end in itself: The students want the Univerity to 1- disclose its investments in companies that sustain the Israeli occupation, apartheid, and genocide, 2- divest from these companies, and 3- repair the harm. 5/

My read is that the administration is under a lot of pressure, but with building political support for the encampment (most recently from
@BernieSanders
), and with students eminently thoughtul and peaceful, they will look awful if they use force. 7/
In 1962, we organized sit-ins to end racist policies at the University of Chicago. In '63, I was arrested protesting segregated schools. But we were right.
I’m proud to see students protesting the war in Gaza.
Stay peaceful and focused. You’re on the right side of history.

چرا مطالعه دانشگاهی جادو و علوم غریبه اهمیت دارد؟
دلیل اینکه این پرسش اصلا مطرح می‌شود این است که در دیدگاه مسلط، جادو و عرفان و امور مشابه در دنیای مدرن جایی ندارد. به بیان دیگر، فرایند «مدرن»شدن با پس‌زدن جادو و «افسون‌زدایی» جوامع همراه است. ۱/

UChicago president claims that "an encampment" has "etymological connections of... military origins" & is "a way of using force... rather than reason to persuade others." Says an admin who absolutely refuses to have a conversation about his university's military investments.

The rational path would be to negotiate with the students in good faith. The University will be a better place for it. If they go the irrational path and attack, they will have to arrest hundreds of students and faculty, and suffer the bad press of another Columbia or UCLA. 8/

The European and American reaction to Palestine activism has been so vicious because they know they have lost their hegemony. It's just not possible anymore to convince their younger and more diverse populations that apartheid, colonialism, and genocide are ok.

The University's response so far has been a combination of public bluster and threats, and frantic behind-the-scenes attempts to convince the students to dismantle the encampment. But their offers so far have fallen far short of anything the students can accept. 6/

می‌رسیم به پایان‌نامه لیلا حسین‌زاده. دیروز نشستم و یک‌نفس پایان‌نامه را خواندم. با وجود ضعف‌هایی که دارد، از نظر من این پایان‌نامه از دو جهت بهتر از نیم یا شصت درصد از بیست پایان‌نامه ارشدی است که خودم تا حالا خوانده‌ام. این دو جهت چیستند؟
👇🏽

۲- مردم‌نگاری ظریف و باحساسیت بالا در نقده، که هرچند دوست داشتم بخش خیلی بیشتری از پایان‌نامه را به آن اختصاص می‌داد، در همین فضای محدود نشان از درک عمیق او از ظرایف روابط اجتماعی مردم آن منطقه دارد.

۱- فهم نظری قوی و منسجم پایان‌نامه از برساختگی مفاهیم ملیت و قومیت و رابطه بین آن‌ها. در تبیین این روابط، حسین‌زاده درک خوبی از بحث‌های نظری حول ملیت و قومیت ارائه می‌دهد و گاهی هم تحلیل‌های بدیعی می‌کند که از این بحث‌ها به طرز خلاقانه‌ای فاصله می‌گیرد.👇🏽

یک نکته دیگر قبل از اصل حرفم: اینکه دانشجویی در سطح ارشد پایان‌نامه ضعیف بنویسد لزوما به این معنی نیست که آینده علمی او سراسر مخدوش است. دانشجوها با انواع و اقسام مشکلات دست‌وپنجه نرم می‌کنند که روی کیفیت کارشان تاثیر می‌گذارد و همیشه سخت‌گیری مفرط راه حل درستی نیست. 👇🏽

که به دلایلی اجازه دفاع و حتی قبولی به آن‌ها داده می‌شود. مثلا یکی از ��لایل می‌تواند این باشد که دانشجو در مصاحبه شغلی هیأت علمی قبول شده و باید در فرصت کوتاهی فارغ‌التحصیل بشود.
۲- در سطح ارشد، وضع پیچیده‌تر است. در دانشگاه‌های آمریکا عموما برنامه‌های ارشد منبع درآمدند. 👇🏽

در نتیجه، در این دانشگاه‌ها سطح دانشجوهای ارشد خیلی نامتوازن است. شما اگر در هاروارد یا شیکاگو هم مطالعات خاورمیانه یا هر رشته انسانی یا اجتماعی دیگری بخوانید، از یک طرف با دانشجوهای خیلی قوی مواجه می‌شوید، و از طرف دیگر با دانشجوهایی که در فهم و نوشتن آکادمیک مشکل جدی دارند. 👇🏽

دلیلش این است که دانشگاه برای کسب درآمد از برنامه‌های ارشد مجبور است سطح علمی پذیرش را پایین بیاورد. البته استثناهایی هم هست، مثلا ارشد دانشکده الهیات شیکاگو که به دانشجوهای ارشد بورس می‌دهد کمتر چنین مسامحه‌هایی می‌کند. 👇🏽

گاهی با وجود تحویل کار ضعیف موفق می‌شوند خود را بالا بکشند و بعدا در دکتری و پس از آن کارهای خیلی قوی تولید کنند. نمونه‌اش را خودم در دانشجوهایی دیده‌ام که بعد از تحویل پایان‌نامه ارشد میان‌مایه جذب دکتری در دانشگاه‌های استنفورد و برکلی شدند و الآن هم خیلی موفقند. 👇🏽
