Hello! I'm a sociologist examining relations between institutional & cultural change. I've looked at how young generations form memories of controversial past, examined how change in law or migrations shift normative expectations of family & how ordinary citizens interpret anti-gender mssgs.

Clanak je zapravo suprotno od onog sto se cini na prvi pogled. Na zalost, kad se urednici ulove naslova, bas ponekad to ne bude fer prema clanku

If you're interested in reading about strategic adaptibility of anti-gender movements, check out the short text written with Maja Gergorić on anti-abortion and anti-trans mobilizations in Croatia!

The curse of an academic: I promised stuff. Now it seems I'll have to deliver.

It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

If you wondered why the EU is ignoring protests in #Serbia, look no further.

The EU (ofc in agreement with Serbia's corrupt regime, how else) has declared the Jadar mining project strategic.

This is bound to devastate an entire region, in the name of "green transition," which is anything but.

Centrists always tell the left that they shouldn’t emphasize the existemce of social injustices, because it “gives ammunition to far right” or “upsets potential voters”.

But fighting social injustice is partly so hard because people have been told these are things of the past and no longer exist.

Zaista, ovo vise nije cak ni koristoljublje vec patologija. Ili u manje ljubaznoj interpretaciji, normative pressure devijantne subkulture

I seem to remember another regime that was very efficient in moving people around. What was its name, n, n, n, on the tip of my tongue!

Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society @signsjournal.org · Mar 13

Submissions for our upcoming special issue "Feminism, Antifeminism, and the Mobilization of Regret," are due May 1, 2025! Check out the full call at signsjournal.org/for-authors/...

Feminism, Antifeminism, and the Mobilization of Regret
Guest edited by Laura Green (Northeastern University) and Chris Bobel (University of Massachusetts Boston)
Feminism is forward-looking and world-building. Feminists everywhere can call to mind the manifestos, mobilizations, solidarities, creative inspirations, legal propositions, and revolutionary paradigms that inspire us to action and move us toward more just futures. At the same time, we may also be haunted by obstacles encountered, losses experienced, and regrets felt along the way. With over fifty years of feminist history behind the journal—and, we hope, another fifty years of feminist troublemaking ahead—Signs seeks essays that delineate both how feminists may experience, theorize, and productively apply the concept of regret and how it may, alternatively, thwart the development of feminist futures.
We seek essays that make theoretical, analytical, and/or activist interventions. We welcome papers that engage the complex dynamics and larger contexts of regret, from the personal, emotional, and creative realms to the social, political, and empirical; or that consider how regret converges with or departs from related affective terrains of shame, guilt, grief, or nostalgia. As always, Signs encourages transdisciplinary and transnational essays that address substantive feminist questions, debates, and forms of literary, artistic, and cultural representation and that minimize disciplinary or academic jargon.
Scan the QR code or visit www.signsjournal.org/cfps for the full call for papers and submission instructions.

Recently, I’ve been really pushing back on the framing that all of this is “backlash” to #MeToo.

Because the misogyny came first. When we call it backlash, we’re starting the story in the middle, which allows the perpetrators to cast themselves as victims.

I've always wondered why is this the custom in the US. All soc. conferences I attended all over Europe were always at universities.

It's a strange experience rereading Weeks' The World We Won immediately after Butler's Who's Afraid of Gender. And it really made me realize I need to focus a chapter in Anti-Gender Talk on how knowledge of diff ways to live is targeted not bc they fear influence but bc they fear thinkability.

I'm reading a book on qual. interviewing in prep for one of my future courses and spending most of the time disagreeing with the authors. Funny how, after some 100 interviews or so, one comes to hold fierce opinions on how interview questions should be formulated. :)

Well, the Balkans are strong in the curse-speak for good reasons. I'm sure we can provide this service for all in need. Borrow at will!

Laura Jedeed @laurajedeed.bsky.social · Feb 14

We need to invent new curse words. Stronger ones. Obscenities that rend time and space

I am simply not going to make it through this historical period with just the curse words currently available

Writing progress today. -14 words in 45 minutes. And I'm quite devastated to report that removing the sentence I adored (bc how often do you get to use alliteration in academic writing: don't you just love the sound of 'tropes, tactics and targets'!?!) made the text better.

From outside, the US currently looks like Milgram's experiment gone very terribly wrong.
