Missed this article from December (oops), but my predictions remain unchanged. “In the coming years, women [in Bukele's El Salvador] should not expect that their ability to live lives free from violence is going to improve,” said Zulver." www.moretoherstory.com/stories/t8t4...

📢New #PAG21 Notes from the Field 📝 In their Notes from the Field "Writing Brave Women," @jzulver.bsky.social & @kiranstallone.bsky.social reflect on the process of writing their upcoming book written about and with feminist activists from around the world. 🌟#OpenAccess🌟 gendersky buff.ly/NGzPIo1
Notes from the field entitled "Writing Brave Women: An Exercise in Academic Publishing as Feminist Solidarity" by Julia Zulver & Kiran Stallone.
Introduction beings: "What does it mean to be a brave woman? In 2020, we saw Belarusian women take to the streets dressed in white to oppose the violent dictatorship that had been in power for twenty-six years. In 2021, our television screens showed the Fall of Kabul, and the takeover by Taliban fighters, who overnight began to reverse decades of women’s empowerment. In response, and despite the risks, women demonstrators took to the streets in Kabul to demand their rights to work, education, and political participation. And in late 2022, we saw Iranian women fight for freedom, cutting their hair and burning their headscarves as they called for women’s rights in the context of brutal repression. "

Publication alert 🚨 @simesc.bsky.social Leigh, Matías & I have a new chapter about the Right Against Rights in 📘 “Fifty Years of Human Rights in Chile” 🇨🇱 🔗 www.springerprofessional.de/fifty-years-...
springerprofessional.de
Fifty Years of Human Rights in Chile
This book examines the struggle for human rights in Chile since 1973 and celebrates the academic work and activism of Latin Americanist Alan Angell. It analyses Chileans’ collective memory of the Pinochet regime and the role of contemporary opponents of the advancement of human rights. Its focus on a single country allows for a more detailed exploration of memory and human rights than those in comparable treatments of these topics in the Southern Cone. The book brings together contributors connected to Angell, Oxford University's Latin American Centre and the UK more broadly through their studies, research and personal histories. They include two former ministers in the Boric government, one of whom is a former president of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Through its unique structure, timing and thematic approach, the book provides valuable insights to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as lecturers and researchers.
