‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

Labour lost nearly four times as many voters to the Greens as Reform. Yet all you hear about is Reform's threat to Labour. Why? Because a) the left aren't treated as legitimate political actors b) Labour's masters prefer bashing migrants to challenging wealth and power

It's out! So glad to see this article finally published with an amazing team of co-authors. ➡️How can we comprehend current "anti-gender" politics by looking at the histories shaping European democracies? ➡️Does the concept of anti-gender best reflect the current socio-political regressive context?

El valor de la universidad pública no se puede despreciar y, sobre todo, someter a los caprichos del mercado. Por eso, os animamos a acompañarnos en las calles el próximo 28A. #SalvemosLaPública #SalvemosLoPúblico
La reducción de presupuesto de las Universidades Públicas actual y la que se avecina han provocado que las bibliotecas de las facultades, como Filosofía y otras, hayan anunciado que no van a comprar nuevos libros en 2025. Esto supone una enorme catástrofe en un sistema como el de la BIBLIOTECA COMPLUTENSE
La Biblioteca de la Universidad Complutense (BUC), la mayor biblioteca universitaria española, es un servicio de apoyo al aprendizaje, la docencia, la investigación y demás actividades relacionadas con los objetivos institucionales de la Universidad. La BUC se estructura a través de un sistema bibliotecario único, descentralizado en bibliotecas de centros y coordinado a través de la dirección de la biblioteca.
La Biblioteca Complutense ofrece cerca de 10.000 puestos de lectura distribuidos en 26 bibliotecas de centro, además de la Biblioteca Histórica Marqués de Valdecilla y la biblioteca María Zambrano.Los fondos de la Biblioteca Complutense, de incalculable valor e interés para investigadores y estudiantes de todo el mundo.
Más de 3 millones de libros de los siglos XX y XXI.
-Cerca de un millón de publicaciones digitales propias y suscritas.
-Cerca de 100000 publicaciones periódicas a disposición de cualquier usuario registrado de la UCM. 
-400 bases de datos de acceso en línea.
-Casi 40000 archivos audiovisuales y multimedia.
-Más de 30000 mapas y documentos cartográficos.
-La colección de fondo histórico de los siglos IX al XIX conservada en la Biblioteca Histórica Marqués de Valdecilla, que incluye códices medievales, manuscritos, incunables e impresos desde el siglo XVI.
