Take a look at the new website of the "Gendering Sociology" project, a network of Italian scholars (PI Chiara Ferrari, Milan) seeking to broaden the sociology canon by looking at early women sociologists (such as Jane Addams and many others).

We don't just need universities to train doctors and engineers... We also need humanists, to help us to understand the world we live in. I am striking because we need to educate the next generation of teachers, journalists, and opinion makers.

Certainly the images of yesterday's peaceful demo support your interpretation - especially given the complete absence of any other reliable elements from govt's side

It's almost as much fun here on @bsky.app as on Twitter 5 years ago. Hopefully, many institutions like Maastricht University and its Law school follow soon. Our institute is already over, but we could still use some followers. @um-foundations.bsky.social.

I was indeed looking at these pictures and wondering, where's the security threat so serious that a peaceful national demonstration had to be banned? Are the govt and the Utrecht municipality going to provide any evidence of the nature of the threat?

I'd say that it's realistic if it takes seriously (among other things) that energy demand is higher than ever. But it remains a phase out strategy bc to the best of my knowledge there's no other path to keeping rising temps within bearable limits
