About the analogies: the Putin-Trump occupation plan is much worse than the Munich betrayal as it comes after 11 years of Russian occupation of Ukraine, with systemic killing, torture, sexualised violence, genocidal abduction and assimilation of children, settling of occupied land… all in the open

It is striking how much this is not understood, including by many who regularly weigh into discussions on global justice and from leftist positions

Plus the opportunity to talk about the community of health researchers we’re bringing together with @associationruta.bsky.social, to address the invisibility and (mis)re-presentations of Europe’s East, Central and North Asia in global health research, while going beyond the global North/South binary

Always glad to spend time in conversations with Reza Bayat. Thus happily accepted his invitation to give a keynote in his team’s symposium on medical border making and talk about a vision for transformative technologies, designed in ways that will be able to foster equitable and just health outcomes

A cover of a book about the 1989 revolutions, through the photographs of Jan Šibík. This woman was part of the student protests during the Velvet Revolution that freed many of us in (then) Czechoslovakia, while others remained unfree. What a memento

Overall, the text is a tribute to civil resistance against totalitarian rule and (not only) Russian imperialism and a reflection on the crucial importance of transnational solidarity and de-occupation for women’s liberation and scholarship. So far, beyond our solidarity networks, little has changed

It’s a text I wrote for a special issue of a Ukrainian gender studies journal, exploring feminist solidarity. In it, I critically analyse dominant Western and global feminist responses to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, “anti-war” manifestos and contemplations made by Judith Butler and Jasbir Puar

It’s 17th November, the anniversary of the 1989 Velvet Revolution that overthrew an oppressive state socialist regime and enabled the end of the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia. I share a personal text on what that revolution meant for Czechoslovak feminist thinkers

What ensues in academia when one critiques another’s favourite empire…The charge of borrowing from US frameworks toward a robust critique of westsplaining must be the biggest straw person fallacy to my work so far. How did this get through peer review? But also glad to stand there with Maria Mälksoo

Speaking with my hands at Berlin Science Week. On a panel with the artist duo kennedy+swan, discussing the too often unsubstantiated algorithmic promises of cure and how to navigate through digitized health care systems, given all the inequalities that have both shaped and are magnified within them

Just saw an amazing production of Travelers by renowned Hungarian director Árpád Schilling performed by the Lithuanian State Youth Theatre, with an appeal for the protection of culture from a minister with alleged pro-Kremlin ties. If you can catch this anywhere, seriously do yourself the favour

Restricting women’s procreative and bodily sovereignty and overall access to abortion will sure have those effects. As @marta-zboralska.bsky.social writes in a comment on the plummeting birth and population rates in Poland👇 indeed, how many women have emigrated…
