Check out this amazing new pub by @fionahywong.bsky.social! This paper is based on her super extensive fieldwork: interviews of 65 participants of the 2019/2020 anti-extradition movement in Hong Kong. So happy to see Fiona's research coming to fruition. 🥹 #ProudSupervisor

Excited to share my first solo-authored article, now published in the Journal of Gender Studies. 👉 doi.org/10.1080/0958... I examine how state-condoned sexual violence serve as a gendered state repression during protests, and how women mobilise fear as a form of resistance in the case of Hong Kong.

Thrilled to share that Jingbo Hua passed his @edinburghpir.bsky.social viva, analyzing how Chinese rural education NGOs negotiate with the authoritarian state. Jingyi Li and I are proud to be his supervisors. We are especially grateful for Hua Wang and @hanofdan.bsky.social for their examination.

Here's the thing: No test is ever going to be comprehensive enough or applied to enough people to ensure an educated electorate. US-born citizens can be (and are) politically illiterate, and it's unfair—unamerican—to require more from naturalized citizens, though that's Congress's call here. 3/

This obsession is with “young men turning to the right” is everything that is wrong with the discussion about the far right. It is not just an inadequate read of what is happening, and a bias towards the male norm, but it also normalizes the far right and obscures support for inclusive politics. 🧵

A reminder that Hypatia publishes translations of important pieces of feminist philosophy from other languages into English, up to the usual word-limit of 10k. Can be a paper or a book chapter, and it's the would-be translator that makes the submission. Scroll down to 'Feminism in translation':
