It's a strange experience rereading Weeks' The World We Won immediately after Butler's Who's Afraid of Gender. And it really made me realize I need to focus a chapter in Anti-Gender Talk on how knowledge of diff ways to live is targeted not bc they fear influence but bc they fear thinkability.

I'm reading a book on qual. interviewing in prep for one of my future courses and spending most of the time disagreeing with the authors. Funny how, after some 100 interviews or so, one comes to hold fierce opinions on how interview questions should be formulated. :)

Well, the Balkans are strong in the curse-speak for good reasons. I'm sure we can provide this service for all in need. Borrow at will!

Writing progress today. -14 words in 45 minutes. And I'm quite devastated to report that removing the sentence I adored (bc how often do you get to use alliteration in academic writing: don't you just love the sound of 'tropes, tactics and targets'!?!) made the text better.

From outside, the US currently looks like Milgram's experiment gone very terribly wrong.

One of the things I plan to show in my book 'Anti-Gender Talk' is how the tyranny of the 'common-sense' is used to suppress gender & sexual rights. Hate to see this picked up so prominently!

The most important lesson of publishing our book was that you need to call the theoretical/main argument chapter "Chapter 1" and not "Introduction". It's too late for us, but may your theor. chapters have their separate content heading, unlike ours which is helpfully presented as Front Matter.

I'm thinking about names for my book project. Would you read 'Anti-Gender Talk. How People Make Sense of Gender and Sexuality and Why Mobilizations against Equality Matter'? Or is it too long?

Wow, I didn't know this was happening in Zagreb but it looks super interesting! Probably too expensive for us in Cro institutions, but maybe some will be able to find funds.

You know the micro concussions football players get every play? I get a micro aneurism every time an economist “discovers” a 100 year old sociological concept.

The story about the lack of academic resources is well familiar to many scholars working in CEE institutions. And we often have to persuade reviewers why cases of our countries matter. But we don't get grants (see any year of ERC grants) is of course bc we're not good enough.

Yes! I recently had a strange experience of my research report that I wrote in the 1st person in English changed to passive in its Croatian translation. The translation was otherwise excellent, but I guess some bad rules of sci writing are hard to unlearn!

I'd like to share one of my greater achievements this year- the Queer Justice Index. Myself and @gary-munnelly.bsky.social created a measure of the relationship between political corruption and LGBTQ+ inequality, through data collected by @ilgaeurope.bsky.social + @anticorruption.bsky.social.

I'd like to move from Atlas.ti to a freeware qual analysis software my students could use. I want them to be able to comment on quotations (txt fragments or citations) before assigning any codes. Atlas allows it, but all freeware software I tried forces you to code 1st. Any suggestions?

Wanted to read the Nature article, not expecting any surprises. And there indeed weren't any, even if I didn't get to read the article. Story in a two images. Greetings from your CEE scientist without any institutional access worth mentioning.

This! But also I'm kind of happy experiencing it now. Ditto for Foundation, my parallel watch. P.S. Have I mentioned I saw the US Office & the Wire for the 1st time only a couple a years ago?

A short piece comparing social capital in American and Croatian academia, and how meritocracy (US) versus a bureaucratic "Brussels" ideology (Croatia) serves to shield academics from the reality that social capital and connections determine job prospects (and I would add, participation in authority)
