Hi Brandy, ahh sorry about v delayed reply! Possible I could use a chapter in S2 but wouldn't be able to set the whole book due to the kinds of courses I'm teaching at the moment - will you be publishing course materials or should I approach you directly once syllabus firms up? Hope all's well! K

Amidst all the sadness and violence as the old year drew to a close and new one begins, I was excited to get a mention in this Spiegel article on the sexual politics of the Weimar Republic by the super well-informed @christophgunkel.bsky.social A good time to be reflecting on this past.

Neurodivergent people have a different way of thinking. Different is good. Diversity is good. It’s why life evolved in webs of diversity. The current regime wants to stamp that out and make copies of themselves in some sort of clonic inbred way that would have spelled extinction for most species.

Excellent critique by @ainokash.bsky.social „The Cass Review, in much the same way as ongoing transphobic trends in current political and cultural discourse, insidiously mobilises neurodivergence with dehumanising and agential consequences for disabled and trans people.“

The African Studies Association has been dealing with this forever. Example: the case of Christiana Ejura Attah in 2017: "British embassy officials decided Attah was likely not to return to Nigeria, because her husband, also an academic, had been granted a visa to the same three-day conference."
