I learned a lot from @philiprathgeb.bsky.social’s excellent book on how the radical right in the USA and Europe uses economic policy to advance its cultural and ideological goals, so I spoke to him for @cunyslu.bsky.social’s Reinventing Solidarity podcast. soundcloud.com/cunyslu/epis...

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

Unfortunately we had to postpone the event due to the weather. We are aiming now for 13 April! Will confirm soon!
