TV show Adolescence sparks rise in hate on world's biggest incel site Amid calls for Netflix show Adolescence to be shown in schools, research shows that the drama triggered an outpouring of misogynistic abuse on incel forums

🗣️ ’Adolescence’ has sparked a global conversation about the dangers of incel ideology & the manosphere.

It touched a nerve: the incel forum studied by us responded to the show with misogyny, racism & antisemitism.

Starting my morning with this gorgeous episode of the @academicaunties.com podcast with @tungohan.bsky.social & Valerie Francisco Menchavez on "Communities of Care" www.academicaunties.com/episodes/com... -- (Valerie & I are co-editing a volume on Communities of Care in Migration..watch this space!)

The UK government must overhaul the UK's immigration system by...

- Providing immediate indefinite leave to remain for nursing staff - Reducing immigration application fees -Abolishing rules that arbitrarily separate migrant staff from their loved ones - Abolishing the 'no recourse to public funds' visa condition - Investigation the exploitation of migrant health and social care workers

🧵 Recently proposed immigration measures announced by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer could accelerate the exodus of migrant staff from the UK.

Our new analysis shows that only 1 in 3 staff who are internationally educated are planning on staying in the UK permanently.
