Vortragstipp "Feindbild Forschung"📅: Am 15.07. spricht @gretajasser.bsky.social (IfDem, FoDEx FB Rechtsradikalismus) über die Beforschung rechter und misogyner Akteure & über Einschüchterungen v. Wissenschaftler:innen. Organisiert v. Fachschaft Sowi & der Geschlechterforschung der @uni-goettingen.de

We did it! Just submitted the manuscript for the edited volume 'Trans Panic, Anti-Gender Mobilisations, and the Far Right', forthcoming with Routledge, ETA 2026. Edited by Iris B. Segers, @audreygagnon.bsky.social @drkondor.bsky.social @gretajasser.bsky.social and myself.

Join us for the ECPR Extremism & Democracy conference where I’ll be discussant for the brilliant panel on food and the far right 🥛🥩🥚 with @cat-tebaldi.bsky.social @leoniedejonge.bsky.social @drkondor.bsky.social @manesweisskircher.bsky.social @gretajasser.bsky.social @celestinekunkeler.bsky.social

Much as the court warns against reading this as a victory of one group over another, that is exactly what will happen now, as a victory of the 'gender-critical' movement over trans women. Regardless of the potentially complex legal ramifications, this narrative will embolden anti-trans mobilisation.

'By rooting misogyny in women’s "shared biology", rather than our shared oppression under patriarchy, the Supreme Court relies on incredibly conservative ideas about gender as a naturalised phenomenon.'

Indeed an incredible case of the naturalisation of cisness and the sex/gender order.

‼️If you haven't seen the call already, this is your reminder‼️

Wenn die Anträge der CDU/CSU morgen angenommen werden, wird sich mein Rechtsstatus und der vieler Menschen in diesem Land ändern. Meine deutsche Staatszugehörigkeit wird dann effektiv weniger wert sein, weil ich nicht ethnisch deutsch bin. Ich bin dann rechtlich nicht mehr gleichgestellt. WTF.

Trans Panic and Anti-Gender Mobilisations on the Far Right - C-REX - Center for Research on Extremism Read this story on the University of Oslo's website.

We're counting down to the end of 2024 by highlighting key C-REX events from throughout the year. No. 11: @celestinekunkeler.bsky.social and Iris B. Segers organized a workshop on a forthcoming edited volume, ‘Trans panic and anti-gender mobilisation on the far right’ www.sv.uio.no/c-rex/englis...

Bluesky isn’t the ‘new Twitter,’ but its resemblance to the old one is drawing millions of new users Bluesky, the microblogging alternative to X, is having a moment. A social media researcher explains why people are flocking to it – and why it isn’t likely to recapture the early days of Twitter.

I wrote for @us.theconversation.com about how I see Bluesky's recent growth in the context of research on social media migration!

I don't think folks here necessarily WANT a "new Twitter," but that Bluesky has the potential to recapture some of what people liked. theconversation.com/bluesky-isnt...

5. Simply said, most popular “solutions” to the far right either underestimate the far right (by externalizing it from the “mainstream”) or are logically at odds with the analysis of the strength of the far right (eg asking the far right controlled state to oppose the far right).

Have I just created a Starter Pack? Yes I have.

I am sure I am missing LOTS of people. Please lmk if you’d want me to add you!

This episode was a real treat!

Here are some of the points I made 🧵

The cruelty is the point. Sarah McBride- an alum of the school where I now teach, so very proud- deserves so much better. Shame on them all.
