I love to hear that Who Wants Normal? is already being put on university reading lists! (Always nice to know the next generation will hear my best jokes about changing in a stock cupboard.)
Reading this amazing book by @DrFrancesRyan at the moment. It will be on the reading list for my new module on Stigma and Dehumanisation which I will be teaching at @oxford_brookes from Sept 2025.

Thank you #CristianCercel for your insightful review of my book #InSearchofthePerfectRomanian & thank you @CEUReviewBooks! Aptly, the reviewer also reflects on the ways in which the racist and eugenic past haunt Romania's political landscape today.
