Had an absolutely fabulous time in Brussels this week catching up with my old crew at AGS ULB. 20 years anniversary is no mean feat, and it's great to see how the field of gender studies has progressed. Here's to the next 20! 🥂🎉🥳

63 people died of hunger in Gaza this month only. People seeking aid are getting killed. The situation is getting worse. The Israeli government is responsible for the humanitarian crisis and the looming famine. How is this still possible? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great to hear Nicole L. Asquith and Justin Ellis share findings from the inquiry into LGBTQ #hatecrime in New South Wales. So many shared issues with Europe, especially the poor quality or absence of police data and its links to hate crime legislation. @bschcnetwork.bsky.social

🇵🇱Poland’s attempt to extend #hatecrime and #hatespeech laws was blocked by the outgoing president. This weekend’s elections could change that. If you're interested in learning about the politics of hate in Europe, my book is now in Open Access: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

The Polish president Andrzej Duda effectively blocked the new law extending hate crime and hate speech protections to sexual orientation, gender, disability, and age, by asking the compromised Constitutional Court for a legal review.
