@terezahendl.bsky.social Olga Burlyuk, Mila O’Sullivan & Aizada Arystanbek was recognized by a jury from our EB
Honoured to have been awarded the 2025 Brodie Prize for our work, in which we problematise the persistent theorising of Europe's East and Central Asia through western-centric perspectives and russia-centric frameworks, calling instead for the re-centering of the knowledges of (de)occupied societies
About the analogies: the Putin-Trump occupation plan is much worse than the Munich betrayal as it comes after 11 years of Russian occupation of Ukraine, with systemic killing, torture, sexualised violence, genocidal abduction and assimilation of children, settling of occupied land… all in the open

About to start! We’ll look at how European East-West hierarchies turned necropolitical during the COVID-19 pandemic (not only) in Germany and what it means for reluctant accounting for “anti-Slavic racism” and its insufficiency for grasping and eliminating racial injustice toward Eastern populations
Here comes the PSA! With @schlawinerkreis.bsky.social we'll talk about the invisibility of East-European migrants in German health data. We've published on how the lack of data on racialisation maintains white ignorance about racism and next we'll look at the Western dimensions of white ignorance
The PSA Around the World 2025 series begins this Thursday, 6 Nov! 🔥🌈🎉
Join us online for sessions highlighting philosophy of science from and about Eastern & Central Europe.
Registration still open — fee waivers available!

That’s all because it was immensely inspiring to read your book. It is so rare to read work that captures what life in an authoritarian system is like, what it does to people on individual, societal and trans-generational levels, while doing justice to the insistence on and difficulty of resistance
re-reading @terezahendl.bsky.social review of the Kazakh Spring and every word resonates so deeply.
It's not a review, it's an incredibly inspiring text, an invitation for further research highlighting importance of decolonial writing about authoritarianisms and "embodied knowledge" I've been

It’s 17th November, the anniversary of the 1989 Velvet Revolution that overthrew an oppressive state socialist regime and enabled the end of the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia. I share a personal text on what that revolution meant for Czechoslovak feminist thinkers
