What I've been working on for past year or so

Oh look, it's almost a new academic year. What fun.

I will never not feel stupid citing myself

I'm at the Men and Masculinities in Transition Conference at @stockholm-uni.bsky.social. I'll be presenting tomorrow, on structures of feeling, "inarticulate Masculinities" and men in the British Left.

The BBC keep doing this. This isn't true. This is straightforwardly wrong in law. The ruling *only* applied to the Equality Act 2010. Trans women are still legally women for the vast majority of purposes! That's the whole point of the Gender Recognition Act. I've put in a complaint. So can you.

Excellent presentation by @ashleycollar.bsky.social at the @britsoci.bsky.social conference on commemoration, the Manchester bombings, and ideal victims and offenders.

Excellent paper by @aliciadenby.bsky.social at @britsoci.bsky.social conference on singleness, Manchester and the temporalities of space and place #britsoc25

This new article from @thewaughreport.bsky.social explores the affective and cultural dynamics of #Momentum, a left-wing movement formed to support Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party. doi.org/10.1332/2631... #EmoSoc @jonathangheaney.bsky.social

Some people go to metal festivals for fun. Some go to make friends. Me? I go because I need a new wardrobe

Delighted to see my paper on masculinities, structures of feeling and the British left in the latest edition of Keywords, published by @r-williams-soc.bsky.social. My thanks to editorial board for their supportive and collegiate comments during the publishing process

Preach

I passed my driving test today, with no faults, just in time for the car crash of the liberal democratic order.

I did a thing. It's available in the Sage Encyclopedia of Domestic Violence, available from all good institutional journal subscriptions or my ResearchGate.

In the grim darkness of my office, there is only war(hammer which I painted instead of marking this weekend don't come at me)
