Deletion? Bottom-up criminalisation? Then I saw this pic and all my fears got so real: the Municipality of Rome invites its citizens to report any aggregation of people. Have you noticed a gathering? Report it! Deletion is just a click away!
For years I have been suggested to go interdisciplinary (see funding applications) & to go international (= including via co-authors from other countries and academic environments) but hey, Houston, we have a problem...actually 2:

refugee status/ subsidiary protection status

Existential academic doubts: I am slooooowly gathering experience in supervising students' theses. BUT I feel more at ease when supervising theses on subjects that are a bit far from my core research interests and agendas. Does it happen to you too out there?

This is a story of an elephant-like gestation. What has been kept hidden away from the world, like a mystery of the nature, for almost 2 years, is an article I coauthored with a colleague and friend of mine. We first submitted it in March 2021.

However we can all agree that this system is not sustainable. Ultimately, it encourages us caring about our publications just for bibliometric fetishism instead of possible contributions to academic and public debates. Houston, we have a problem and it's so sad.
Are you doing research on one of these topics?
✅Climate change;
✅Populism;
✅Circular economy;
✅Constitutional reforms;
✅Fourth industrial revolution;
✅Negative results in political research.

Since the early days of quarantine-social distancing-lockdown, I had an eccentric concern. I looked at the exteded role of the army as public security agent, the stop-and-question powers randomly exercised by police, Carabinieri, Guardia di Finanza to check for self-declarations.

Yet what I found oddly worrisome was the proliferation of videos and pics posted by ordinary citizens on neighbourhood/community/local social media groups to publicly denounce whomever walking in the street. I was terrified by emerging practices of decentered micro-surveillance.

European Parliament passes a resolution conveying concern about the impunity with which neo-fascists operate in some member states. It also points to alleged collusion between politicians and police with neo-fascists and neo-Nazis in some countries.

"...these deaths [those of the 39 people foud in a lorry container in Essex] were no accident, but the direct result of global structures of capitalism and imperialism that marginalise, if not violently exclude, working class undocumented migrants and people of colour."
🚨 New blog post 🚨
In the wake of the deaths of 39 migrants in a lorry container, we must confront the global structures of capitalism and imperialism that displace or lead people to migrate, and the deadly border regimes that further endanger them

I have "participation to international conferences" as one of the indicators for my tenure evaluation. But I cannot even imagine to send an abstract to one huge online conference. I am trying to somehow "use" the online modality to attend small targeted workshops.
Geopolitics comes to Mestre (= Venice mainland) with a whole institutional fanfare. The pervasiveness of the geopolitical discourse never stops surprising me.
