Huge thanks to Selenia who brought me on board with her wonderful work on (awful) Incel culture in Italy, with the added historical racist load of the North vs the South narratives. Looking forward to the conference!

In the meantime, many students were denied this life changing opportunity. We should all be mad about this, and the latest wave of toxic nationalism will bring more and more misery. Young people do not deserve it, no one does.
