Delighted to be in Dublin this week for this brilliant symposium on reactionary media and politics with @anthonypkelly.bsky.social and so many others.

I’ll be talking about vulnerability politics, criminalization, MAGA media, and the imaginary futures of far-Right movements.

A new paper co-authored by Goldsmiths' @kat-hig.bsky.social explores our preoccupation with stories about women who lie, scam and cheat.

As Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar hits our screens, she talks to British Vogue about why we can't get enough of con women www.vogue.co.uk/article/why-...
Why Are Con Women So Much More Fascinating Than Con Men?
“What is it about these women that makes us unable to look away?”

What happens when the backlash against con capitalism meets the backlash against #MeToo meets the backlash against white pop feminism?

A whole lot of television about women who lie, scam and cheat.

Thrilled to see our recent article quoted in @time.com today!

Wow, I’m humbled!
Wronged is indispensable. It opens up new ways of thinking about the centrality and ambivalence
of pain in political life, while inviting us to meet the challenge of reclaiming vulnerability for building a more just, less painful world

Why is being a victim such a potent identity today? Who claims to be a victim, and why?
