Do universities fail to protect researchers when their public-facing work receives backlash? @lauraclancy.bsky.social @hannahyelin.bsky.social take a closer look at academic labour, the risks of public engagement and the politics of visibility. #OpenAccess @journals.sagepub.com buff.ly/1UkhPWs

New article out in Feminist Review 📢 When queer characters are written off screen, fans often mobilise rather than move on. I argue these practices are queer mnemonic labour—collective efforts to contest erasure and imagine queer futures 🏳️‍🌈 #OpenAccess at journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Is the Western-origin term “queerbaiting” a fair way to judge Thai BL and GL series? What if, instead, we look at them through the lens of a “queer fantasy economy”? 🏳️‍🌈 Full text: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #ThaiBL #ThaiGL #Yseries #SeriesY #Queerbaiting @evacyli.bsky.social

The UK regulator Ofcom turns UK impartiality rules upside down - allowing GBNews presenters to escape restrictions by claiming ti be "current affairs" not news. bjr.org.uk/ofcom-is-now...

bjr.org.uk

Ofcom is now defying logic - BJR

Why is the media regulator reinterpreting statutory rules on impartiality to allow partisan politicians to present news programmes on GB News?

🌈 Happy Pride! I wrote a piece for The Conversation on one of my favourite queer films: Saving Face (2004) by Alice Wu 🎬 It’s such a heartfelt, underrated gem in LGBTQ+ cinema. theconversation.com/hidden-gems-... #SavingFace #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #AsianCinema #QueerAsian

Hidden gems of LGBTQ+ cinema: Saving Face is a complicated romcom that tenderly depicts the experiences of queer Asians

A woman’s desire and cultural expectation clash in this heartwarming romantic comedy.

Digital colonialism: 'US tech monopolies...have embedded themselves into South African society'. E.g. Operation Phakisa, 'designed to equip public schools with digital tools but, in reality, hands over the country’s educational data sovereignty to US corporations. lab.cccb.org/en/counterin...

A new type of dependency is emerging in which digital infrastructures replicate the old colonial logics.

Thank you to The Chinese University of Hong Kong for hosting me yesterday. I very much enjoyed engaging with colleagues and students on AI's societal implications through fandom studies and exploring how the humanities & social sciences can contribute to research in AI ethics and governance.

As 2024 draws to a close, I'm very pleased to see this piece, joint first authorship with Wen Liu, published. We propose the #geopolitics of queer archives to trace queer knowledge and activism connecting HK and TW, often overlooked under the shadow of the "greater China" framework. 🧵
