Last week, I attended a thematically narrow conference in Brussels. There was no fee; all the sessions in one room, with coffee and cakes during the break, and sandwiches for lunch. But participants fully immersed in discussions. The essence of academia; no possible in big, expensive congresses.

Polish and US women's soccer in one paper:-). Thanks to @rachelallison.bsky.social

Good to have it published and printed🙂 #masculinity #football #politics

I am proud to be part of this project. The Sage Handbook of Qualitative Research in Sport and Physical Culture has been published, featuring my chapter on "Qualitative Research with Sport Fan Communities." uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/th...

It has just arrived. Very interesting book with my contribution chapter. #football #racism #discrimination

New today, a summary of my recent research on men fans with @rkossakowski.bsky.social!

In our paper, we introduce the Global Concept of ‘Unmanliness’ (GCU), a model that reflects how men worldwide imagine ‘unmanliness’, containing a set of characteristics that men consider unmanly regardless of their country. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @nature.com

Step by step transfer market in women's football is growing.

Great news to start the day. I have joined the editorial board of Soccer & Society, the world's leading academic journal addressing football's social and cultural meanings. www.tandfonline.com/journals/fsa...

For anyone wondering if football fans identify more strongly with Europe than non-fans, I have good news - our article provides the answer (based on data from Germany, Norway, Poland and Spain) #Europe #football #fans onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

It's a good start to the year. A French football magazine, @sofoot.com, published an article about Polish fans with my comments. www.sofoot.com/articles/top...

New article out today! @rkossakowski.bsky.social and I examine U.S. women's soccer fans' perception of more boys and men going to women's games than in the past: what do they think this 'masculinization' of fandom means? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Nina Patalon is the first woman ever to hold the position of coach of the Polish women's national football team. Poland owes its historic promotion to the Euros to her. The challenges facing female coaches in women's football are described in our article: www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

In the context of the historic success of Polish women's football (promotion to Euro 2025), I would like to encourage you to read our article titled: 'Enclaved non-heteronormativity and pragmatic acceptance. The experiences of Polish female football players' journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Children took over supporting at the stadium in Gdansk and led the women's Polish national team to victory over Austria in the qualification for the 2025 European Championships

FC Luzern against Young Boys Berne in the Swiss league. Supporters of both sides with a varied performance and melodic, trance-like chanting. I love exploring local expressions of fan culture
