Another great news - @davideserpico.bsky.social, Valentina Petrolini, and I just published a commentary for a brilliant article "Autism and the Pseudoscience of Mind", written by @travislacroix.bsky.social

I'm so glad I can finally read your reply!
It has a lot of potential for further discussion (not to mention the very great target article)!
BTW, my name is misspelled (it is Malinowska, not Malinkowska ;)

Four years of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
I argue that when we assess the health consequences of this war as a form of colonial and imperial aggression, we also need to look at what happens after displacement.

Publishing on racism against people racialised as Eastern Europeans and its impact on health is not easy. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who supported me throughout this process.

Racist billionaires backing eugenics projects: no surprise. After the Epstein files dropped, I wanted to check them for ties to the racist eugenics network. No time though – I’m writing about how it infiltrates academia and passes itself off as "science"😉

Milan prosecutors investigate alleged ‘sniper tourism’ during Bosnian war Groups from Italy and elsewhere alleged to have paid Serb soldiers to shoot Sarajevo residents during siege

I’ve spent years researching racism and discrimination, including racism against people racialised as Eastern Europeans.
And, unfortunately, this case only confirms how easily violence and dehumanisation are tolerated when directed at certain groups.

German far right setting agenda as opponents amplify its ideas, study finds Normalisation of far-right stances likely to affect success of such parties at ballot boxes across Europe, say researchers

NEW RESEARCH confirms:

Countering far-right messaging by repeating it mainstreams extremist ideas and amplifying extremist terminology cedes the framing of the issues to the right.

(I’ll add that social media “dunking” only serves to spread undesired content.)

Why do drug labels keep reducing pharmacogenomic findings to just three groups: “White, Black, Asian”?

I explore why this is still happening. I also argue this practice has no epistemic value — and may mislead, posing real risks, e.g. for patients.

I'm really appreciating the applied turn in philosophy of race over the past few years, toward examining concrete *institutional* effects of particular conceptions of race.
