I am running @ECPR_Gender and wish to:
- support ECRs with defamation
- use my research focus on political violence to connect the SG more to feminist IR as well as help the SG develop stances on ongoing conflicts
- bring Russian imperialism into discussions of intersectionality
The elections for four new Steering Committee Members @ECPR_Gender is now live, don't forget to cast your vote!!!
With 13 stellar candidates to choose from, it will be a difficult choice..

Riesiger Stolz.
Riesige Freude!
Heute haben wir die @demokratie_vi eingereicht!
Wenige wollten daran glauben. Das hat uns angespornt. 100‘000 der 134‘000 Unterschriften hat unsere rein zivilgesellschaftliche Bewegung @AVierviertel gesammelt.
Es war mir eine Ehre 🫶🏼

Thanks to @E_IR (and special thanks to @SimonHilditch) for inviting me to write this overview of ongoing debates on Russia as a colonial power.
In writing it, I've been inspired by the scholarship of many excellent colleagues - check out their work!

Big thanks to @elizabeth_mesok and Isabel Käser for organizing this @SggfSseg roundtable. Together with @juliapfederer @DrDeiana @umutyildirim25 & @MusawiPaniz they made us rethink which feminist concepts help us make sense of the atrocities we’re helplessly witnessing.

I was particularly moved by @DrDeiana who reminded us of the feminist ethos to always look for humanity, how she does this by paying attention to forms of art in conflict and who admitted that she needed „cruel optimism“ to deal with the WPS agenda. An honour to have her!

And I truly loved @umutyildirim25‘s idea of feminist political love (I hope I’m conveying it right) which entails to forge coalitions all while acknowledging the incommensurable differences between our different experiences
