This collection of essays for @polcommjournal challenges our field to reckon with the asymmetries (and idiosyncracies) of our current political landscape and to take principled stances on the far right in our work. Privileged to be in conversation with these scholars ⬇️🙏

My piece looks at the far right's moves towards "respectability" and argues that we can resist these tactics of obfuscation in our work by undertaking systemic analyses of white supremacy: 🔗doi.org/10.1080/10584609.202…

Last term was my first teaching a course as uni faculty @LeedsUniMedia. Gearing up to do it again, but wanted to reflect on & celebrate the work of my 1st yr students in "Power, Politics & Media" who submitted research posters, some of which I'm sharing, with their permission 🧵:
