Three events this week on war economies, the militarization of education & BDS-Palestine in Turin and Milan

Spring has arrived, and the horror of the Israeli war and so many other wars are still here. We must not stop studying and discussing the intensification of militarization in our collective lives in the West and beyond. This week in Turin and in Milan, I will take part in three exciting public events, open to all (discussion will be in Italian).

On Monday, the 25th, at 20:30 in Turin (at OST Barriera), there will be a meeting on the capitalistic mode of production and the fragmentation of international markets. It is the launch of a very interesting book by the Rete dei Comunisti, upon which I will offer some reflections, among others.

On Tuesday, the 26th, at 16:00 in Milan (at the Universitรก Statale di Milano, Legnaia), I will be discussing my book Universitรก e Militarizzazione and be talking about the relationship between the university and the military sector with students and comrades.

Finally, on Thursday, the 28th, at 18:30 in Turin (at the Kontiki place via Cigliano), I will discuss a book, with others, about the Boycott, Disinvest, Sanction campaign and the involvement of Italian authorities in doing all sorts of problematic (read: militarized) dealings with the Israeli state.

I look forward to all of this! Posters and info are below.

Two events with the City of Naples on housing justice

I’m happy to take part to two important events taking place under the auspice of the City of Naples this week.

Tomorrow, Wednesday 7 June we are going to have a discussion with the talented Sarah Gainsforth on #housing, #housing and housing struggles.

Events will continue on Thursday 8 with a second meeting I will also be part of, organised by the City of Naples on ‘Housing Precarity and Access to Housing’.

I would also like to mention the public demonstration tomorrow afternoon against the touristification of the city:

On these topics, the Municipality of Naples is organising a series of meetings with the theme of housing, through round tables, conferences and thematic discussions.
