Just Released: ASA has issued a letter requesting several policy actions to protect Afghans who are most vulnerable under Taliban rule, including women seeking educational opportunities & scholars advocating for democracy & civil & human rights. asanet.org/public-engagem…

LGBTQ+ Afghans have endured routine discrimination, abuse & persecution, including by the state. With the Taliban in power we expect this situation to deteriorate further, including the potential for a return to active enforcement of the laws that prohibit same sex relationships.

On the day in which Xianzi’s #MeToo landmark case suffers a setback in court, here is an essay where she discusses the predicament in which victims of sexual harassment and the activists who support them find themselves in in China. madeinchinajournal.com/2021/09/15/onl…

This article was led by my colleague and friend Sinikka Elliott, who died in May 2021. She really cared about this work and hoped that our research could contribute to more just, equitable social policies and a food system where everyone has enough.

Unverified post from Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai, taken down from Weibo within minutes, in which she claims (again unverified) that she was assaulted by former Vice premier Zhang Gaoli, before willingly becoming his mistress. Highest public #MeToo allegation in China

So quickly are social media posts being censored on Chinese sites about this that people are resorting to using #tennis and #melon (meaning drama) in Chinese to talk about this... both terms are trending on Weibo now.

“I know that for someone of your eminence, Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli, you’ve said that you’re not afraid,” Ms. Peng wrote in her post, “but even if it’s just me, like an egg hitting a rock, or a moth to the flame, courting self-destruction, I’ll tell the truth about you.” #metoo

Statement from Steve Simon, Chairman & CEO, WTA WTA seeks full, fair and transparent investigation into sexual assault allegations against former Chinese leader and also calls for end of censorship against Peng Shuai.

#whereisPengShuai #MeToo deeply concerning

I am please to announce my new book with Alison, 'Simply Institutional Ethnography: Creating a Sociology for People', which will be published by University of Toronto Press. Please find the link in my bio to pre-order the book today! #InstitutionalEthnography

I applaud Steve Simon & the wta leadership for taking a strong stand on defending human rights in China & around the world. The WTA is on the right side of history in supporting our players. This is another reason why women’s tennis is the leader in women’s sports.

#FreePengShuai #metoo Shame on IOC!

BWSA is saddened to learn of the passing of bell hooks, a prolific Black feminist writer, educator, and intellectual. She reminds us that "Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust." We honor her legacy with love. Rest in power.

“I saw in theory then a location for healing.” - bell hooks This is so heartbreaking. Mourning the profound, forever loss of #bellhooks 💔🖤🙏 Rest In Peace, Rest in power.

“Love is an act of will, both an intention and an action.” & “There can be no love without justice.” She taught me that love is a choice & an action. She left the light of radical, feminist love in us. “We yearn to end the pervasive lovelessness.” We shall.
