🌈 #GenderingDemocracy No.50 💭 #AntiGender politics is an epistemic conflict as much as a political one, generating political fatigue among researchers in the field. 😴 We must address such fatigue through distance + collective reflection, argues @massimoprearo.bsky.social #Pride2026 👉 buff.ly/1qsDbdd

Proud of this piece of work! With the irreplaceable @fedetrastulli.bsky.social LGBT+ political representation involves critical factors like party ideology, activism, and visibility. We interviewed several Italian LGBT+ politicians to explore how they navigate these dynamics👇 t.co/wfOVpdOrMc

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Excited to announce my candidacy for the ECPR_Gender Steering Committee! ⚠️ In a hostile context for gender and LGBTIQ+ studies and scholars, we need a strong and supportive community. ✅ If you think I can contribute to achieving this objective, you know what to do! 🗳️ By Dec. 19 #GenderSky

For those interested in studying opposition to gender and LGBTIQ+ equality, new forms of mobilization, politics of religion in a post-religious world, and connections with populist radical right parties, you might be interested in my recent work! 👇 www.routledge.com/Anti-Gender-...

❓How does Italy handle LGBT+ policies? Curious about the context behind Meloni's govt decision not to sign the EU declaration? Is equality a problem? ✅ Take a look at this new publication with @barila_ciocca, just out in early view @italianpolsci t.co/xhSRQxPdRY #Gendersky #Polisky

This wasn’t an easy piece to write. It explores the vulnerability of being LGBT+ scholars working on LGBT+ politics, and how we manage to resist. Proud to have had the opportunity to be part of this conversation. Don’t miss the entire issue! #Gendersky #Polisky muse.jhu.edu/pub/90/artic...
