I’m writing because I’m currently working on an article about the challenges of teaching pluriversalities in a moment marked by the ongoing Palestinian genocide and the tightening grip of what many are calling techno‑feudal governance.07 Jun 2026 17:52 +0000at://did:plc:uugmphvm2jkfrop32cjefdwp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnpqb5wm5k2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/dballestero.bsky.social/post/3mcmbfb4yrs24Dear Friends the deadline for #EASA2026 is 26.01. Our panel interrogates multipolarity as colonial continuity, refuses current academic neutrality and centers decolonial praxis from the colonial wound. We are looking for your proposal! Spreading it widely https://nomadit.co.uk/conference/easa2026/p/1838017 Jan 2026 09:11 +0000at://did:plc:uugmphvm2jkfrop32cjefdwp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcmbfb4yrs24https://bsky.app/profile/dballestero.bsky.social/post/3m7dgqccuhs2bWe gathered not in academia but in rebellion. Against epistemicide in Palestine, against silence polished as neutrality. Knowledge under siege is defiance. Resistance is method. Futures are built together.

Will we take collective action or keep researching in our ivory tower as comrades resign over our political void? Neutrality serves the oppressor. What is our position?03 Oct 2025 08:16 +0000at://did:plc:uugmphvm2jkfrop32cjefdwp/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2bmvjqu7c2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/dballestero.bsky.social/post/3m25air4i7s22Does anyone know if, during the @dgska.bsky.social members’ plenary, a clear and dignified stance was taken? Was there a decision to sever ties with academic institutions of the State of Israel—institutions complicit in occupation and the silencing of entire peoples? #dgska202501 Oct 2025 14:23 +0000at://did:plc:uugmphvm2jkfrop32cjefdwp/app.bsky.feed.post/3m25air4i7s22https://bsky.app/profile/dballestero.bsky.social/post/3m24uebac4s2g1/ This is a summary of my panel at #dgska2025. We asked: what happens when decolonial theory, born from the wounds of the Global South, is turned into ornament for the European academy? A theory of fire turned into polite rhetoric.01 Oct 2025 10:46 +0000at://did:plc:uugmphvm2jkfrop32cjefdwp/app.bsky.feed.post/3m24uebac4s2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/dballestero.bsky.social/post/3m24hwgrot22wAfter the roundtable on Palestine at the #dgska2025, the @dgska.bsky.social must cut ties with all Israeli institutions. In the face of genocide, it is our ethical and moral duty: solidarity is not abstract—it demands rupture with structures of oppression and genocide01 Oct 2025 07:03 +0000at://did:plc:uugmphvm2jkfrop32cjefdwp/app.bsky.feed.post/3m24hwgrot22whttps://bsky.app/profile/dballestero.bsky.social/post/3m22kkx2yvk2oToday we spoke, listened, unlearned. The panel Un/communalizing Decoloniality became a space of insurgent thought, where theory walked and archives trembled. Gracias to all who challenged, shared, and stayed.
