Have a look at our introduction for this Interventions section I guest edited with my friend Elisabeth Moerking for @csosjournal. It comprises some great short-form creative interventions on the micro-, ordinary affective politics of global reaction. https://t.co/zSfWwTURzq

Ooh this looks interesting!
📣New open access publication in @JournalPolitics 📣 We talk a lot about pluralism as populism’s supposed opposite in populism studies, but what does pluralism actually mean? More importantly, what do we want it to mean? 🧵 https://t.co/CoJFiagy31

If you're researching right-wing violence, you should check out the RTV Dataset, the RTV Map Tool and the RTV Trend Reports, which are all freely available on the @CrexUiO website.
sv.uio.no
The RTV Dataset documents right-wing terrorism and violence in Western Europe since 1990. On this website you can download the dataset, use the RTV Map Tool, and read RTV Trend Reports.

Some really interesting discussion here about masculinity and the far right, as well as some of the methodological and emotional challenges of such research.
ICYMI, in #45 of #NowandMen @lizzypearson discusses the gendered nature of the UK riots and why radicalisation is a #masculinity project, with the far-right exploiting cases of men's violence to claim to be 'protecting' the women & children of the nation: https://t.co/PJ8rpxBnqH
