Looking forward to starting this new project on Jane Addams, WEB Du Bois, and the social epistemology of folk narratives.

Maastricht University Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social · Aug 29

🎉 @tullioviola.bsky.social has been awarded an NWO Open Competition XS grant (€50,000) for his project Folk Narratives and Social Critique. He will explore how Addams & Du Bois used myths, songs, and legends as tools for knowledge making and social critique.

Take a look at the new website of the "Gendering Sociology" project, a network of Italian scholars (PI Chiara Ferrari, Milan) seeking to broaden the sociology canon by looking at early women sociologists (such as Jane Addams and many others).

We don't just need universities to train doctors and engineers... We also need humanists, to help us to understand the world we live in. I am striking because we need to educate the next generation of teachers, journalists, and opinion makers.

While we keep fighting in the NL against cut to higher education, something similar might be happening in Italy. Here's an interview to the rector of Pisa University #WoInActie

Let's see the good in it: we didn't meet because the crowd was too big ;)

Today we went to The Hague to protest against the right wing Dutch government's plan to cut funds to higher education. It was a big, enthusiastic crowd

Certainly the images of yesterday's peaceful demo support your interpretation - especially given the complete absence of any other reliable elements from govt's side

It's almost as much fun here on @bsky.app as on Twitter 5 years ago. Hopefully, many institutions like Maastricht University and its Law school follow soon. Our institute is already over, but we could still use some followers. @um-foundations.bsky.social.

I was indeed looking at these pictures and wondering, where's the security threat so serious that a peaceful national demonstration had to be banned? Are the govt and the Utrecht municipality going to provide any evidence of the nature of the threat?

wonderful talk by Gabriel Abend @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social y'day organized by @tullioviola.bsky.social. GA started off w/ this 👇 legal case, in which one "Judge Locke" (sadly, Jeffrey, not John) espoused a fully Lockean theory of the meaning of the word "sandwich!"
