In NZ a Sunday column today focuses on gender divides between young men/women voters. But in reality in NZ our divide is deeper between older men vs everyone else (including older women!) The moral panic that young men are ‘lurching right globally’ obscures much longer history of gendered politics

No country for young women? quite dramatic how NZ political polls are now consistently splitting by gender & age as older men support the National Act / NZ first coalition government by about 70 percent. While about 70 of women under 50 favour the opposition. www.roymorgan.com/findings/998...

Political volatility has been taking us by surprise for a while now. Here’s little exercise to illustrate. Rewind two years and take a look at where the polls were, what people expected, and what they failed to anticipate. You have to go back a while before politics is predictable even 2 yrs out 1/

A reminder of how volatile politics is now: Reform UK, who lead the current polls, won the most recent by-election and swept the board in the recent local elections, failed to retain their deposit or finish above third in any by-election from Old Bexley (Dec 21) to Tamworth (Oct 23)

What I remember most about Michael: - The massive portrait of Gramsci behind his desk, staring down at students during office hours - Helping edit his edited volume of global sociology, a volume I think about at least once a week - The way he lived theory He had so much life left in him RIP 💔

Michael Burawoy was a wonderful sociologist and person. We rarely spoke, but we just happened to be emailing in January. He wrote about how much he was loving this phase of his life. The hit and run scourge is taking so many people who have so much more to live www.mercurynews.com/2025/02/04/o...

Worried about how Meta's new moderation policies will impact online sexual and reproductive health promotion? So am I! This piece is co-authored with my expert colleague & HDR student Joanna Williams: theconversation.com/metas-shift-...

Meta’s shift to ‘community notes’ risks hurting online health info providers more than ever

Between allowing more “free speech” and removing official fact-checking, Meta’s platforms risk becoming more hostile to public health organisations.

With 17 days to go until the US takeover by the new Trump (or Musk?) administration, I thought it might be worthwhile to share a number of recent papers published by our team that counter arguments that have been leveled against misinformation research. 1/n

The number of English households living in temporary accommodation more than doubled between 2010 and 2023. Poverty and homelessness is a political preference for austerity, low wages/benefits, unchecked profiteering.
