This obsession is with “young men turning to the right” is everything that is wrong with the discussion about the far right.

It is not just an inadequate read of what is happening, and a bias towards the male norm, but it also normalizes the far right and obscures support for inclusive politics. 🧵

Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.

Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. 2/3

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3

New article in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social with @drorlysiow.bsky.social. We analyze how intersectionality has been used in gender and politics research, and explore how can it be used in ways more closely aligned with Black feminist theory.
#gendersky #polisky
📣 Out on #FirstView 📣

For our upcoming anniversary issue, @drashleec.bsky.social & @drorlysiow.bsky.social‬ examine how intersectionality has been used within P&G and outline ways that future contributions can embrace the original Black feminist intentions of the concept.
