The UN’s refugee agency (UNHCR) estimates there are more than 65.6 million forcibly displaced people, 22.5 million refugees and 10 million stateless people worldwide, many of whom are living with limited access to basic rights such as health care and education. Over half of the world’s refugees are children. Abdul Rahman Katanani, Untitled Many displaced children end up living in refugee camps or temporary settlements for months or even years, making up a substantial part of their childhood.

Sivanandan, who passed away last month, was one of Britain's foremost and most influential thinkers on race, class and power. Virou Srilangarajah pays tribute to a remarkable life, and a towering intellectual and political legacy. By Virou Srilangarajah “That he was still alive at the time, though in comparative retirement, makes that neglect even sadder.” So wrote Ambalavaner Sivanandan in 1980, commenting on the lack of acknowledgement by black political movements of the 1960s in the United States of the immense contribution and influence of Paul Robeson.

The project’s goals were to increase understanding about white working-class communities in America, to disrupt the negative narrative about the white working class by contextualizing its issues and challenges, and to put forward practical ideas for cros-sracial coalition building.

Howard Rheingold: The new power of collaboration. Stanford Professor puts his entire digital photography course online for free. When it comes to the list of digital imaging pioneers, Marc Levoy is one of those names that belongs right near the top.
His work has led to many of the technical advances that we see in use today with computer generated imagery. So, it’s no wonder that he jumped into digital photography. From 2009 until 2014, Levoy taught digital photography at Stanford. In 2016, he revised the course and taught it again at Google in Spring. Now, the entire revised course is available online completely free. There’s hours and hours of video covering Levoy’s lectures to Google over a 4 month period. It’s a whole hell of a lot of stuff to read and watch. You can find the entire course for free here. APSA-Sociology. Breaking Down Beyoncé's Lemonade Samples.

The Age of Despair: Reaping the Whirlwind of Western Support for Extremist Violence. We, the West, overthrew Saddam by violence. We overthrew Gaddafi by violence. We are trying to overthrow Assad by violence. Harsh regimes all — but far less draconian than our Saudi allies, and other tyrannies around the world. What has been the result of these interventions?
A hell on earth, one that grows wider and more virulent year after year. Without the American crime of aggressive war against Iraq — which, by the measurements used by Western governments themselves, left more than a million innocent people dead — there would be no ISIS, no “Al Qaeda in Iraq.” Again, let’s be as clear as possible: the hellish world we live in today is the result of deliberate policies and actions undertaken by the United States and its allies over the past decades. The open history of the last half-century is very clear in this regard. Why bring up this “ancient history” when fresh blood is running in the streets of Paris? The British Sociological Association.
