Had a great time lecturing on contemporary women’s & gender studies and the political power of digital memes in polycrisis times (representing both @uccwomenstudies.bsky.social @uccphilosophy.bsky.social) at the @sorbonnenouvelle.bsky.social during the @ucc.ie faculty visiting week!
Experimented w philosophical meme-making again this year in my Feminist Philosophy & Environmental Posthumanities modules! A great way to stimulate students’ critical thinking & creative skills (a special shout-out to the Barack Obama statue meta-meme!). #memes #philosophymemes #criticalpedagogies
Last week, the ISS21 Populism and the Rise of the Far-right cluster (shorturl.at/UNok3) co-leads Dr Amin Sharifi Isaloo & Dr Yasmine Ahmed and I organized a symposium on the Rise of the Far-right & Social Cohesion - what a great event w excellent speakers (including Dr Tine Munk & Lassane Ouedraogo)
Love the new ‘Get In Loser’-sticker I got from one of my Philosophy students today!
Asked my students how they were doing after reading Gender Trouble’s first chapter 😂 #philosophymemefun #Butlertime
Looking forward to the final talk in this year’s seminal Political Technologies seminar series at @ucc.ie & that by the wonderful Prof Nidesh Lawtoo (Leiden University). Join us on the 27th! @maybenansi.bsky.social @oliverjdavis.bsky.social @uccphilosophy.bsky.social @uccwomenstudies.bsky.social
