@asjmcguire haha in my professional field, it’s more often known as the Council for European Studies, a group of social scientists who are convening this week in Reykjavik. You can read more here! https://councilforeuropeanstudies.org/2023-conference-program/

*tap tap* is this thing on? Clearly I’ve never gotten in the habit of posting regularly here, but if you’ll be attending #CES in Reykjavik this week and like talking about #feminist #politicaleconomy and #abortion access, come find me!

I’m presenting a new dataset of where to find abortion providers in 10 European countries and what social, political, and economic factors might explain this distribution. I’m also moderating a neat panel on #gender and otherness! See you in Iceland! #CES2023

I wonder how many times these authors had to reformat and resubmit this study before they found a publisher willing to admit how much time and money they waste…

“Anti-science sentiments are part of a pervasive and more troublesome problem in our society: the tacit acceptance and normalization of untruths.

“I implore you, push back. Do so not with hostility but with civility, but also with all the wisdom and strength you can muster.”

- Dr. Anthony Fauci, addressing the 2023 graduating class of Yale Medical School earlier this week

#ichbinHanna zwar nicht unmittelbar als langjährige Bibliothekarin & Betriebsrätin in einem Forschungsinstitut, aber sehe mit Sorge die Nöte & Zeitdruck meiner Kolleginnen. Und weiß- noch weniger Zeit für das, was den sozialen Kitt im Institut ausmacht. Betriebsrat, Gleichstellungsbeauftragte, mal Betriebsausflug oder Fest organisieren, Mentorin für Jüngere sein, im Bibliotheksauschuss Wünsche artikulieren, es bleibt viel am wissenschaftlichsunterstützenden Service hängen #WissZeitVG

It's beyond absurd to think that social media platforms should be "neutral" to hate, harassment, child exploitation, scams, misinfo, etc, and users should just "decide" for themselves to what to view.

Trustworthy and transparent moderation is critical for a healthy internet.

@AElliotPR thankfully it’s still obligatory in most of Germany too - completely agree, and this makes me feel much safer! But some states are ending the obligation…

I think I just found the perfect lunch citation. @sociology @academicchatter

Exceptions to abortion bans don't work, they just disguise the real agenda of entirely ending safe, legal abortions.

Great job at a great department!

Maastricht University is looking for an *Assistant Professor in Disinformation and European Democracy*.

The vacancy is open to various relevant disciplinary backgrounds (media & communication, political communication, IR etc). Quant methods considered a plus. The department is very welcoming to scholars who look across disciplinary boundaries.
