A great loss, he will be deeply missed..
Our friend, colleague, and comrade @paulmepschen.bsky.social has passed away after many health struggles. He was a committed scholar, a faithful friend, and a beloved teacher. He pioneered the critical analysis of the sexual politics of nativism in the Netherlands. You will be missed, Paul 🖤🕯️

So grateful to Apostolos for his thoughtful (and critical!) engagement with my book. My response will be published soon.
My engagement with @ulrikebialas.bsky.social ' s must-read book on the experiences of young asylum seekers claiming protection as minors in Germany - a daring and sensitive ethnography that offers unique insights into the consequences of age classifications and their often unexpected outcomes.
#ERSNew 🐣🔓 Forever 17 examines how these young men navigate age classifications, often strategically claiming an age that aligns with their needs. This process queers temporalities of ageing and state-centred binary classifications. Article by. @andrikopoulos.bsky.social : https://buff.ly/4jDHWc4

RIP Thomas Hylland Eriksen. Today, the world feels like a smaller place without you. A brilliant mind, a model of an engaged anthropologist, and, most of all, a genuinely kind and caring person. You will be deeply missed.
