In June 2024, we—the YugoslaWomen+ Collective—held actions at CEE-ISA in Rijeka to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza. A modest intervention turned into one of the weirdest & tensest academic events we've experienced. Our reflection on organised silence and academic resistance 👇 shorturl.at/Yr8c9

It's not a "situation". It's not "beyond what is necessary". It's crimes, @kajakallas.bsky.social. The worst possible crimes, in fact. Statements like this only show the EU doesn't even have the "courage" to CALL them for what they are, let alone ACT upon them. We are sick and tired of this.

Happy to see my contribution to the @jcms-eu.bsky.social Special Issue “Towards Allyship in Diversity? Critical Perspectives on the European Union's Global Role” published. doi.org/10.1111/jcms...

It was great to be part of the panel "Outsourced Empire? Questioning Norms and Values of EU External Relations" at #EUIA2025 with DFUTURE colleagues. In times of genocide, we refused to carry on with “conference as usual", a small but necessary act of refusal against complicity.
