Arguments about 'polarisation' and 'division' being the main problem, instead of racism, inequality, fascism, violence and genocide, lead to things like this instead of real action and change.

Great speeches at the #translivesmatter protest in London today.

At this point my and other UK and EU universities need to take a much firmer stand of solidarity on behalf of our colleagues in Belgrade. They're fighting the kind of authoritarian destruction of intellectual life that threatens us all in Europe.

What is the role of the University in promoting and/or resisting political and social change? Call for Papers: #POLITICAL #SCIENCE & THE #UNIVERSITY Guest Editors: @anjaneundorf.bsky.social , Robert Pape, & Nicholas Tampio Deadline: August 1, 2025 More info here: buff.ly/3Wfo0Cq

Pic from BBC -- white women celebrating outside the UK SC. We may deprivilege the colonial-racial frame, but the hate campaign led by white cis women speaks to a nation that criminalised same-sex relations in its empire, invented 'woman' in its colonies (cf. Oyewumi) & knows how to coerce white +

You know democracy is going well when the decision to remove the rights of an already marginalised community is celebrated in "serious" analysis for allowing politicians "to dodge difficult questions" Smells increasingly like the Weimar republic to me...

Sometimes I doubt my judgement but then I remember that I never read Harry Potter or joined Facebook.

🚨 URGENT: Parliament Square This Saturday 1pm– Stand for Trans Rights This Saturday at 1:00 p.m in Parliament Square, there will be a critical protest in support of trans rights, following todays Supreme Court decision that threatens the recognition and dignity of trans people.

Thanks for having me! 🧡

Online first: "Intersectionality, NGOs and executives: who has which minister’s ear?" by @drashleec.bsky.social @drorlysiow.bsky.social & @cerifowler.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/0140... #polisky #academicsky

Don't for get to submit your abstracts folks! Give me or @drashleec.bsky.social a shout if any questions

📢New issue of #PAG21 is out!📢 @drashleec.bsky.social & @drorlysiow.bsky.social‬ examine how intersectionality has been used within P&G and outline ways that future contributions can embrace the original Black feminist intentions of the concept. 🌟Available #OpenAccess🌟 buff.ly/fiEoCno

(3/3)We find: -white male ministers engage least with equalities NGOs, and minoritised women engage most -women’s organisations enjoy far greater access to ministers than those focused on race, or those led by and for intersectionally marginalised groups.

(2/3)We examine: -the effects of UK government ministers' intersectional identities on whether they meet with equalities NGOs; and -which equalities NGOs (feminist, racial justice, intersectional) get access to government ministers

Excellent opportunity for ECRs with research on race and politics. Have a look! 👀

"Creating a financial crisis in universities gives leverage to those who want to ensure that universities serve power, rather than critique it"

Political science and other disciplines are caught flat-footed in this moment because we have marginalized the study of racism and race politics (and yes, that includes various other ‘isms), particularly at the global level. It is happening across Europe just as it is in the US.

Check out this awesome postdoc opportunity with my friend @jonathanpolk.bsky.social at Lund: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/... So much great work to be done in this area and working with Jon would be fantastic!

'The Anger Rule' by Antoine J. Banks & Ismail K. White. Examines how Black politicians are penalized for expressing anger and demonstrates how this anger penalty helps sustain racial inequality. 📚 cup.org/3OILUlj 📚

"There is No Such Thing As Women's Representation: Intersectionality and Second Generation Gender and Politics Scholarship" by @drashleec.bsky.social and me has been included in the most read collection at @ejpgjournal.bsky.social bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

New article in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social with @drorlysiow.bsky.social. We analyze how intersectionality has been used in gender and politics research, and explore how can it be used in ways more closely aligned with Black feminist theory. #gendersky #polisky

Another new publication together with @drashleec.bsky.social. How has #intersectionality been used in gender and politics research? How can it be used in ways more closely aligned with Black feminist theory?

We've asked the 'Strong Leader' question eight times in the British Election Study Internet panel since 2016. Not only is the % of Gen Z supporting dictators much lower than reported by the Times (13% in 2024 vs 52%). Gen Z are the *least* likely generation to support a strong leader.
