Haha, tru dat! 😊

If I remember correctly, I approached Roget Eatwell as I had just finished my PhD, in 1998, being 30 years old. Truly amazing to see how this idea has developed into such an amazing and supportive community of scholars almost 30 years later. 😍

L’ascesa dell’ultradestra in Europa. Intervista ad Andrea Pirro - Pandora Rivista Andrea Pirro analizza l’ascesa dell’ultradestra che sta rimodellando il panorama politico e culturale a livello europeo e globale.

Per chi legge italiano, riposto una recente intervista su Pandora Rivista, in cui spiego le ragioni dell’impiego del termine ‘ultradestra’. 👇

Sharing a similar struggle as the Italian media keeps labelling
Italian far-right parties as ‘centre-right’ and their partners abroad as ‘sovereigntist’, ‘conservative’, ‘nationalist’, or ‘populist’—doing everyone a huge disservice.

Why so difficult to call the far right ‘far right’? 🤔

Fun read for sociologists: Apparently Granovetter's "The Strength of Weak Ties," the most cited paper in sociology, was initially rejected from the American Sociological Review. The reviews are a wild slice of disciplinary history. If you're ever dealing w nasty reviews, this could be reassuring...

📆 Next Thursday, 14 May, presenting our @oxfordacademic.bsky.social book at the University of Padua. Looking forward to discussing our work with @andreafelicetti.bsky.social and all!

💐 Super excited to step in the footsteps of the great @stijntvankessel.bsky.social & @caterinafr.bsky.social to continue as co-editor of this excellent Routledge book series!
🔥 Are you thinking about publishing a book in the field of Extremism & Democracy? Talk to @andreapirro.it & me for info! 📖

Heartfelt thanks to the outgoing editors @caterinafr.bsky.social and @stijntvankessel.bsky.social, with whom I have shared duties since 2019. Such a privilege getting to work with some of the brightest minds and kindest souls of our generation. 🫶

With 85 titles published (and more in the pipeline), the series has grown into one the most reputable reference points in the field.

We will continue to work in a pluralist spirit, attracting cutting-edge research on ‘extremism’ and ‘democracy’ broadly defined. Get in touch to pitch your ideas! 😉

New chapter for the book series Routledge Studies in Extremism and Democracy! Very happy to welcome @leoniedejonge.bsky.social as fellow co-editor. 👯

Since its establishment in 1999, the series has tackled extremism, radicalism, populism, fundamentalism, and democracy from different perspectives.

Ditto.

Michael Minkenberg has been ahead of the curve for as long as I can remember. This, from 𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟳, is particularly clear-eyed #farright #radicalright
