Huxley highlights the strength of intellect: resistance to manipulation. True thinkers value evidence over emotion, remaining grounded when propaganda sways the rest.

Unlike the masses intellectuals, have a taste for rationality and interest in the facts. They're critical habit of mine makes them resistant to the kind of propaganda that works so well on the majority. Aldous Huxley

Word of the Day: sojourner — one who lives somewhere temporarily; a brief stay.

A reminder: not all who wander are lost—some are simply refusing to settle for ignorance. 🧠✨

Dr Junina kindly shared the following introductory statement to accompany its publication. #IntellectualResistance #EducationAsResistance #VoicesFromGaza
An image depicting the following text: "This piece carries a deeply personal significance. I began drafting it during prolonged power outages and with little to no internet access. I vividly remember scribbling ideas on scraps of paper and typing notes on my phone, often under the echo of shelling and amidst unimaginable circumstances. Against all odds, the paper took shape, and today [16 July 2025], it’s finally out in the world. In this article, I document my lived experience teaching university courses and leading the English Department at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza during wartime, employing methods and strategies that overcame, as much as possible, the many challenges we faced. It also tells the stories of colleagues and students who, despite destruction and isolation, chose to resist, with their voices, their words, and their will to continue learning. An image depicting the following text, continued from the previous image, alongside a photograph of Ahmed Kamal Junina: That is why I titled the article: 'Displaced but not replaced: challenges, adaptations, and resilience of higher education in Gaza in the context of war and scholasticide.' The article offers a close look at the deliberate and ongoing destruction of Gaza’s higher education system. I wrote it with my colleagues and students in mind. These are the people who continue to teach and learn under bombardment, in classrooms reduced to rubble or scattered across displacement camps. This is for them. For all those who remind us, even in the darkest of times, that the pursuit of knowledge in Gaza endures and cannot be silenced.

When tyranny fears intellect, it cuts funding to silence it. Harvard suing Trump isn’t just institutional defiance—it’s a line in the sand against anti-education authoritarianism. Knowledge must never bow to power. #HarvardVsTrump #AcademicFreedom #WarOnEducation #IntellectualResistance #Trump

"It’s not chains or whips anymore.
It’s prices.
Everything has one now — food, shelter, dignity.
They made creativity unaffordable, then called us lazy for not producing.
It's a feudal contract, signed in fear."
