Thank you so much to @gssisocialsci.bsky.social for inviting me to discuss contemporary masculinities! It was a pleasure to be in L’Aquila for the first time in my life — and I’m really glad I had the chance to meet such inspiring colleagues ☺️

I’ll speak at the seminar “Masculinities: Representations, Narratives, and Transformations” on May 6th at the @gssisocialsci.bsky.social! We’ll explore how masculinities are represented and discussed in culture and academia, and how they evolve in response to social and political changes.

Half a lifetime on a train

I’m so thankful for the amazing colleagues I get to work with. You all make every day better! 🌱

🔥 A powerful International Women's Day march in Turin, with thousands united against patriarchy and all forms of oppression.

People on the train: "Wow, he’s very focused, he must be reading one of those deep and intellectual novels about the meaning of life and the struggles of human relationships." Me, annotating my book:

🧑🏻‍🏫 On March 7th, I’ll be at the conference “Violenza di genere e Giovani” to share my experience running workshops on masculinities and gender violence with university students. 📍 If you’ll be in Genoa, let’s meet there!

Despite the colourful speeches during Pride month, platforms like Meta only pursue one goal: profit. And they will always do so at the expense of everything - in this case, queer people. www.wired.com/story/meta-i...

I'm on a train on Christmas morning, and an elderly couple is seriously discussing whom to send "Merry Christmas" to on WhatsApp. Their conversation is so intense that it resembles two diplomats discussing the crisis in the Middle East.

"In telling these stories, we can go about challenging the tendency to downplay the significance and prevalence of men’s violence. We can make clear that a considerable number of men, often seemingly “good men”, perpetuate violence." lens.monash.edu/2021/04/28/1...

🧵 A little thread on fatphobia during festivities I'm thrilled to know when a person reaches a specific goal for their body, but it breaks my heart to read messages like "I need to go to the gym after Thanksgiving because I look like a whale" or "My fight against fat is going on!"

Happy birthday to my baby Maya. 13 years of pure love 🩷
