Me when I cite myself:
I feel a bit relieved I'm not the only one (oh so often) facing this dilemma)!

European Court of Justice rules that same-sex marriages should be recognized across the EU. πͺπΊ
Pls, apply and share widely! Deadline is 15 November!
This text started out as a country presentation at the @antigenderpolitics.bsky.social kick-off meeting. So excited it found a home as an EPJG gender update!
I see your France and raise you Croatia 11 years ago:

In my 2 cents, bc they tend to create models that would work perfectly, if not for one omitted variable....you know, actual human behaviour. Collective behaviour, specifically, is beyond grasp of imagination even!

The curse of an academic: I promised stuff. Now it seems I'll have to deliver.
Itβs always βLadies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwifeβ and never βLadies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.β
I feel that April is so long ago it doesn't count as info!
If you wondered why the EU is ignoring protests in #Serbia, look no further.
The EU (ofc in agreement with Serbia's corrupt regime, how else) has declared the Jadar mining project strategic.
This is bound to devastate an entire region, in the name of "green transition," which is anything but.
Centrists always tell the left that they shouldnβt emphasize the existemce of social injustices, because it βgives ammunition to far rightβ or βupsets potential votersβ.
But fighting social injustice is partly so hard because people have been told these are things of the past and no longer exist.
Zaista, ovo vise nije cak ni koristoljublje vec patologija. Ili u manje ljubaznoj interpretaciji, normative pressure devijantne subkulture
I hold my not-fake books at my apt, my office and my mother's house. Still all over the place everywhere!
I seem to remember another regime that was very efficient in moving people around. What was its name, n, n, n, on the tip of my tongue!
Wow, nisam ovo ni skuzila! To ce urednici traziti da isprave, sigurna sam!
Feminism, Antifeminism, and the Mobilization of Regret Guest edited by Laura Green (Northeastern University) and Chris Bobel (University of Massachusetts Boston) Feminism is forward-looking and world-building. Feminists everywhere can call to mind the manifestos, mobilizations, solidarities, creative inspirations, legal propositions, and revolutionary paradigms that inspire us to action and move us toward more just futures. At the same time, we may also be haunted by obstacles encountered, losses experienced, and regrets felt along the way. With over fifty years of feminist history behind the journalβand, we hope, another fifty years of feminist troublemaking aheadβSigns seeks essays that delineate both how feminists may experience, theorize, and productively apply the concept of regret and how it may, alternatively, thwart the development of feminist futures. We seek essays that make theoretical, analytical, and/or activist interventions. We welcome papers that engage the complex dynamics and larger contexts of regret, from the personal, emotional, and creative realms to the social, political, and empirical; or that consider how regret converges with or departs from related affective terrains of shame, guilt, grief, or nostalgia. As always, Signs encourages transdisciplinary and transnational essays that address substantive feminist questions, debates, and forms of literary, artistic, and cultural representation and that minimize disciplinary or academic jargon. Scan the QR code or visit www.signsjournal.org/cfps for the full call for papers and submission instructions.
Submissions for our upcoming special issue "Feminism, Antifeminism, and the Mobilization of Regret," are due May 1, 2025! Check out the full call at signsjournal.org/for-authors/...
Recently, Iβve been really pushing back on the framing that all of this is βbacklashβ to #MeToo.
Because the misogyny came first. When we call it backlash, weβre starting the story in the middle, which allows the perpetrators to cast themselves as victims.
I've always wondered why is this the custom in the US. All soc. conferences I attended all over Europe were always at universities.
