Kicking off this year's #BISA2025 with an amazing lecture from #CynthiaEnloe. I would try to make her words justice, and fail, but luckily I don't have to! Looking forward to seeing all my lovely folks this week in #Belfast, and thanks to @mybisa.bsky.social for another excellent conference :)

Third day of @ecpr.bsky.social at lovely Prague! Excited for another day of discussions on the #FarRight . Thanks to all my lovely workshop mates and @raffaelemstr.bsky.social & Lisbeth Zimmerman for bringing us together!

Barcelona #blackout, two scenes: one, a group of people gathered around a radio during the day, the only still working comms. Two, a rare night view of Bcn with almost no lights...
What a surreal day it has been!

Highlights

Student appreciation post for my "Online Right Wing Radicalisation" class at @ibei.org .
I feel so privileged to be teaching something so "youth oriented", their POVs and approach to the topic is so fresh, raw and direct, that it often makes me re-think my stance. Plus a hella strong #meme game!

Rejoice: the 2025 Spring-Summer book season is here!
Two excellent books for me to read and review in the next few months, courtesy of @iajournal.bsky.social and Critical Studies in Terrorism.

Fantastic seminar today w prof @martinshaw.bsky.social on #genocide in #Gaza. Especially his analysis of the Israeli genocide as part of a deliberate structural project of violence & #displacement, ongoing for over 60 years.
Thanks to @ibei.org for organising & Lesley Ann Daniels for chairing!

Hot off the press book for review, just received today, courtesy of @iajournal.bsky.social !
Looking forward to reading the latest research on religion and radicalisation, especially concerning #RightWing extremism
www.bloomsbury.com/us/rethinkin...

Highlights include worsening #youth perceptions of Islam, increased political rejection and extremist group pressure over Muslims, all directly linked to the rise of unmonitored #rightwingextremist actors in Spain

The 2023 #islamophobiaEIR is finally out! @sergiogracia.bsky.social and I had the pleasure of writing the Spanish country case for 3rd year.
Thanks to our editors @enesbayrakli.bsky.social & @fhafez.bsky.social

Thursday at #IBEI #Intersecionality cluster, we had the privilege of hearing @pcaravantes.bsky.social present a WIP paper on #feminism & legacies of #fascism in the Spanish & Catalan #parliament. Congratulations to her @elombardo.bsky.social & @ilheenk.bsky.social for their fantastic research!

Shout-out to @martafraile.bsky.social @atiradocastro.bsky.social & @pzuluaga.bsky.social for their incredible work on #influencers & #anti-feminist ideas, today at @upfbarcelona.bsky.social
