New from me and @yasemingacar.bsky.social in @uk.theconversation.com, summarising our recent work on the role of reappropriation/reclaiming stigmatising labels in identity politicisation, empowerment, and collective action.

theconversation.com/why-people-r...

Why people reclaim words meant to insult them – and how this has become a powerful tool for protest

Saying ‘yes, I’m queer’ or ‘yes, I’m fat’ isn’t just resistance, it can be the start of a political identity.

We are becoming extremely anti-social

- working from home
- watching videos alone
- staying single
- ordering meals for 1.

Fantastic article by @dkthomp.bsky.social @theatlantic.com

One addition: it’s not just the US; the world is becoming anti-social 🌏

TLDR: Academics from low-income backgrounds are more like to push the needle on science, but less likely to receive credit for doing so. 🥴

Florian Ederer @florianederer.bsky.social · Dec 23

Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to
- not publish
- have outstanding publication records
- introduce more novel scientific concepts
- less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards.

Here's the cover of our forthcoming (Spring 2025) open access book, "The Republic of Turkey and its Unresolved Issues," co-edited by me and @olgash.bsky.social ! 📚 It features 20 chapters, each addressing issues often undermined or silenced in explaining Turkey's first centenary.

couple notes from a Jason Hickel thread from over on Twitter:

Jason Hickel Tweet: "People often assume that capitalist globalization is closing the wage gap between workers in the global North and global South.

But it's not happening. In fact, the North-South wage gap is *increasing*."

tweet comes alongside a graph with average, high-skilled, medium-skilled, and low-skilled charts, all of which show a significant gap
