I like to think Shell Shocked, my book on Feminist Criticsm after Trump (2021) contributed in some small way to this excellent choice for word of the year: “gaslighting ,” though the definition here is less insidious than the sense one gets from Homer, Morrison, the film Gaslight, and the series Stranger Things (which I discuss) Importantly, as I argue, the gaslight in all of these sources is not just poison but also cure (or off-ramp anyway) #feministtheory, #politicaltheory, #democratictheory

Congratulations to Chiara Valsangiacomo, Vice President of @DemocracyNet, on her successful PhD defence and her 'groundbreaking’ dissertation on liquid democracy! 👏

After some lurking, I want to #introduce myself properly.

After training in #PoliticalTheory & #PoliticalPhilosophy, I'm now at the Institute of #PoliticalScience in #Leiden.

I've worked in the history of #PoliticalThought & #DemocraticTheory, looking at things like the secret ballot & #CriminalDisenfranchisement, as well as #Polisci stuff like #EU #DemocracyPromotion

My current work is on the #RuleOfLaw & #DemocraticBacksliding in the #EuropeanUnion

I am adding hashtags so as to be part of more communities but let me know if I missed one (in haste I am speculating what they might be- very happy to have guidance) #feministtheory #politicaltheory #queertheory #democracy #democratictheory
