After a Sunday morning (academic social media) scroll, I have one thought: if you need to write that something (an event, journal, or grant) is prestigious, it probably isn’t.

It's not a common practice among all editors, so keep your faith :)

In March 2026, the Swedish Sociological Association organises its biannual conference, and you should consider joining us. Megan Rådesjö and I are leading the working group on gender and intersectionality: it will be bilingual, it will be great, so you should not hesitate 😊

That moment when an Anglo-Saxon team of authors still hasn't managed to distinguish Polish first names from surnames 🤦‍♀️

We all know there's a gender gap in support for the populist radical right. Where there is debate is on the why

In this new ✨OPEN ACCESS✨ paper, Kathina Mehring , @gefjonoff.bsky.social & @katarzynawojnicka.bsky.social use cross-country data to explain "protective masculinity" plays a role

It feels like I left Spain years ago (it was 10 days) and this phase of #queermemorials project is over, but it is not entirely true as the last one, Monumento contra la LGTBIfobia, located in Rivas, has not had its debut on my social media yet

Made it to Olivenza after some serious travel gymnastics 🚍🚫🚗. Totally worth it though—the Parque de Diversidad hosts this beautiful, quirky, has-it-all #queermemorial 🌈💖

Spanish #queermemorials stop 3: Mérida 🌈
Special for 3 reasons: 1) 41°C 😅 so I broke my own research safety rules & worked after 21:00 2) The memorial is very worn out and heartbreakingly sad. Dear Mérida people, please renovate! 3) No one around except dogs,their humans & runners 🏃🐕🏳️‍🌈

When in Marbella, instead of buying just another LV bag, go to la Avenida del Mar and visit Monumento a la Diversidad LGTBI, one of the Spanish #queermemorials

#queermemorials project is back 🌈
This season: 🇪🇸
Did you know that under Franco, Spain had its own version of concentration camps for those accused of homosexuality? In the 1970s...
I didn’t, until this project.
Anyways, the 1st stop: Fuengirola’s simple but cute Arco Iris 🏳️‍🌈🏖

This new publication feels extra special 🤗

It started as Kathina's master thesis, won the best thesis prize and now, 3 years later, found a wonderful home in @ejpgjournal.bsky.social. ⬇️

With Kathina and @katarzynawojnicka.bsky.social, we investigate how gender-(in)egalitarian and (non-)nativist attitudes interact in shaping PRR support and the gender gap in PRR support.

Scientific papers are like kids: you pretend to love them all equally, but deep down, you have a favorite. And this one is mine. Born from the brilliant MA thesis of Kathina Mehring, it's a reminder that co-writing with young scholars is the best part of this job. 💙📄
