Today in my class at University of Copenhagen, Emil Kjerte presented the main findings from his PhD Dissertation, Clark University, on Ustahe guards in Jasenovac. Highly recommend looking into this work and his detailed microstudies of dehumanization and brutalization.

This morning at University of Rome Tor Vergata, Frederica Cavaletti on "Radically Shameless. Inpolite Strategies for Building a Neurodiverse Academia"

Remember that tingling feeling from first day at school? ✨ 🫧 💫 🎉
This is how I've been feeling this week where I started as Asso. Prof. at Centre for Culture and the Mind. Here I'll be heading the research project: Cultured Emotions: A Conceptual History of Alexithymia tinyurl.com/3z8787je

3/3 Most importantly, I want to commemorate my dear friend and academic mentor David Konstan, classist and scholar of emotion, who passed away exactly a year ago. In our last exchange, he had just read Viola's splendid commentary, and wrote me back about it despite his difficult time w chemotherapy

2/3 Still humbled and thankful that such excellent scholars took time to engage so thoroughly with my work--this kind of engagement is why we do scholarly work, to be read, discussed and challenged. At the same time, I'm horrified that my remarks about our present day catastrophes still hold today..

Book symposium on the new fantastic #Routledge handbook on "Political Phenomenology today at @ucph.bsky.social, also possible to participate via zoom.

Looking forward to discussing w Sophie Loidolt and Nils Baratella later this afternoon!

Finally found time to dive into this amazing book by @drrobertchapman.bsky.social . Highly accessible, wonderful clear writing, gives a splendid overview over how we got to our current standards of normality in the psy-sciences and beyond. Highly recommend! And what a beautiful, imaginative cover
