We've had the help and support of so many people at the @sociologyofdemo; @EevaLuhtakallio and @veikkoeranti in particular. Thank you! Also: I know SO many brilliant projects didn't get funding. It sucks, and it makes this day bitter sweet for us all.

Incel identities have undergone a remarkable transformation from diversity to exclusion. To prevent identities from becoming undemocratic, it requires attention to moderation techniques and social norms, argues @seejenspeak 👉berghahnjournals.com/view/jo… 🧵8/10

Iris Marion Young is wrongly identified with the politics of presence. Michaele Ferguson reads her work as part of the politics of becoming by focusing on structure rather than identity. 👉berghahnjournals.com/view/jo… 🧵6/10

The Ranciérian concept of disidentification is purely discursive. To overcome this limitation, @profmoyalloyd puts forward a novel account of embodied disidentification, exemplified by the feminist Miss America protest of 1968. Open Access🔓berghahnjournals.com/view/jo… 🧵4/10

And finally, there is 'the self as public critique', where the self is purposefully coordinated against the norms of how one ought to be. These are often selfies that seek to politicise by making visible something that ought to be hidden. 6/7
