I published a new essay! 😍 Had so much fun writing this... If you're a back-talking killjoy single as well, let me know what you think! doi.org/10.5117/TVGN...

This image is a screen shot of the first page of the essay, showing the title "Singles ‘snap’ and ‘talk back’ - Calling for a New Research Agenda" and the introduction.

✨ As #singlehood is rising, it deserves more scholarly attention - moving beyond its framing as a byproduct of coupledom.

📚 Our new issue therefore explores #intersectional singlehood and what it teaches us about power, identity, and belonging.

#timelinecleanse This is Müsli, my new PhDog student 🥰 She dreams of becoming a pupfessor of gender studies when she grows up 🐾 Boop for good luck on our journey ❤️ @weratedogs @musli.with.two.dots on insta 📸

Picture shows a small dog with a shiny black coat, yellow pawsies and two yellow dots over her eyes (one over each eye). Her ears are flopsy but listening and alert. She is sitting in the grass being a very good girl.

Helping a great colleague prepare for her PhD defense, I realised that she cites a co-authored paper of mine which I had kinda forgotten about 🥰 Having just reread it, it's not too bad, so I thought it deserves a share! It's on doing ethnography via Zoom/Teams 👩‍💻

Well, that was a fun little rabbit whole 🐰 (special issue will be published in September 2025) by @tvgenderstudies.bsky.social

In this special issue, the terms ‘singleness’ and ‘singlehood’ will both be used. While they are sometimes used interchangeably, their meanings slightly differ given the different connotation of their suffixes. The suffix ‘-ness’ typically refers to a quality that is an important - perhaps valued - aspect of something or someone (see Quora). The suffix ‘-hood’ rather concerns a state or condition. A state, in turn, covers particular ‘circumstances or attributes at a specific time that the person or thing is in, e.g. state of health, state of mind’, whereas a condition ‘has a degree of reference to the circumstances surrounding or affecting that state, e.g. poor living conditions’ (Quora, no page number). Given the latter connotations of ‘singlehood’, we will use this term consistently in this editorial, however, other authors in this special issue may adopt ‘singleness’ considering its more positive association. Accordingly, we welcome differences in terminology use throughout the articles and essays of this issue, as these may also stem from disciplinary differences and are therefore at the heart of embracing the messiness of studying single people’s experiences (see Vertelyte, this issue).

Frejas og min artikel får igen lidt medieopmærksomhed - med endnu en irriterende headline! Vores fokus var aldrig kritik for kritiks skyld 🙄 Vi forsøgte at forstå tendensen. (bag betalingsmur) www.kristeligt-dagblad.dk/danmark/fler...

Flere kvinder skriver barslen på cv'et. Men tendensen vækker kritik

Barslen er gået fra at være et hul i cv’et, til at flere kvinder nu skriver det ind som en kompetence. Grænsen mellem det at være menneske og arbejdskraft er udvisket, mener kritiker

Anybody who knows of papers on why we need to call sexism sexism and not gender inequality? - and how if we don’t we are potentially hampering the transformative potential of our analysis/critique of social relations and organisations. Same for difference vs injustice, maybe? cf. epistemic injustice
