Bittersweet milestones - our 2020 article "TERF Wars: An Introduction", published in @thesociologicalreview.org, just hit 600 citations on Google Scholar, and has over 100,000 views. I would love for it to become irrelevant. However, given the state of the world, I'm grateful it remains useful.

I got word that our book about the big 2007 Jena 6 protest can be downloaded free until Sept 14 in honor of the APSA conference. This was a transition between the old Civil Rights model and what became Black Lives Matter. We trace how it developed & was discussed. 1/2

Was bitter ist: Medienberichte haben sich überschlagen über die Niederlage Orbáns. Die Verbindungslinien dazu, wie der autoritäre Umbau in Ungarn begann in Bezug auf Presse, Zivilgesellschaft, Arbeit … werden von deutschen Journalist*innen bei den Reformen hier kaum gezogen.
