Hello! I'm a sociologist examining relations between institutional & cultural change. I've looked at how young generations form memories of controversial past, examined how change in law or migrations shift normative expectations of family & how ordinary citizens interpret anti-gender mssgs.

It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

If you wondered why the EU is ignoring protests in #Serbia, look no further.
The EU (ofc in agreement with Serbia's corrupt regime, how else) has declared the Jadar mining project strategic.
This is bound to devastate an entire region, in the name of "green transition," which is anything but.

Centrists always tell the left that they shouldn’t emphasize the existemce of social injustices, because it “gives ammunition to far right” or “upsets potential voters”.
But fighting social injustice is partly so hard because people have been told these are things of the past and no longer exist.

Recently, I’ve been really pushing back on the framing that all of this is “backlash” to #MeToo.
Because the misogyny came first. When we call it backlash, we’re starting the story in the middle, which allows the perpetrators to cast themselves as victims.

It's a strange experience rereading Weeks' The World We Won immediately after Butler's Who's Afraid of Gender. And it really made me realize I need to focus a chapter in Anti-Gender Talk on how knowledge of diff ways to live is targeted not bc they fear influence but bc they fear thinkability.

I'm reading a book on qual. interviewing in prep for one of my future courses and spending most of the time disagreeing with the authors. Funny how, after some 100 interviews or so, one comes to hold fierce opinions on how interview questions should be formulated. :)

Well, the Balkans are strong in the curse-speak for good reasons. I'm sure we can provide this service for all in need. Borrow at will!
We need to invent new curse words. Stronger ones. Obscenities that rend time and space
I am simply not going to make it through this historical period with just the curse words currently available

Writing progress today. -14 words in 45 minutes. And I'm quite devastated to report that removing the sentence I adored (bc how often do you get to use alliteration in academic writing: don't you just love the sound of 'tropes, tactics and targets'!?!) made the text better.

The most important lesson of publishing our book was that you need to call the theoretical/main argument chapter "Chapter 1" and not "Introduction". It's too late for us, but may your theor. chapters have their separate content heading, unlike ours which is helpfully presented as Front Matter.
In the intro, we talk about interplay between #antimigrant & #antigender discourses & policies in Europe and N. America and show how Cassidy et al's 'intersectional borderings' help understand how race & gender/sexuality exclusions are (re)produced & experienced. link.springer.com/content/pdf/...
