Happy to share again a video presentation of our seminar, "A House is not a Home? Discursive Representations of Contemporary Households", convened by myself, @angelazottola.bsky.social & @giorgia-riboni.bsky.social @ the @aia32.bsky.social Conference (Univ of Turin, 11–13 September 2025)

Please tell people that they don’t have to stand out to do good work and be respected. Doing honest research and taking care of your colleagues and your field can be as valuable. We already have so much anxiety and fomo in the field, I’m not sure it’s making us better.
