@avanriper.bsky.social being the supportive human being they always are - it's a joy to work alongside YOU

Annina Y. Van Riper @avanriper.bsky.social · May 2

"The manosphere fuels a sense of ‘male entitlement’... As linguists, we can uncover ideologies from the manosphere, recognise them when they permeate the mainstream, and challenge them."
Thanks for sharing your linguistic expertise on such a relevant topic. It's a joy to work alongside you!

I guess it's better late than never! Here's a short post about the #manosphere and the Netflix's mini series 'Adolescence' I wrote a few weeks ago for the @aifl.bsky.social blog 👉 medium.com/aston-instit...

Ethical sex or good sex requires more than consent. It also requires a proper regard for one’s own self and for the other, including a proper regard for the other’s desires and beliefs (Archard, 2022), or ‘mutuality’, a caring attention to the other person (Lamb et al., 2021)

First day of teaching done! I've briefly talked about the role language plays throught the legal process.

Must say I was missing it.

And my abstract got accepted! I'll be talking about how the PUA community linguistically diminishes women's sexual authority and agency, providing understandings of consent that allow them to reclaim their masculinity through heterosexual activity. See you soon @iafll.bsky.social

Neus Alberich @neusalberich.bsky.social · Nov 22

Just submitted my abstract for the 17th Biennial Conference of the International Association for Forensic & Legal Linguistics (IAFLL). Assuming it will be accepted, I'm excited to have the opportunity to talk about my research on sexual consent in such an inspirational environment.
