@unisouthampton @BAFA_UK @Tazeeb @UniOfSurrey @LSESocialPolicy @AntoSorace @EdinburghUni New Fellow Prof @MattLWilliams is Prof of Criminology & Director of @hate_lab & the Social Data Science Lab at @cardiffuni! His research focuses on hate crime, especially online, & his book, The Science of Hate, was published in 2021. acss.org.uk/news/the-acade…

"Trans rights are being debated, delayed, and denied, while politicians look away." I told @GBNEWS: We need leaders who take a stand every day, not just during Pride. Silence enables discrimination. We all deserve better. 🌈 #TransRightsAreHumanRights #PrideIsPolitical #Pride365 #LGBTQ

Out now! I say it’s important to consider the pains of living in the gendered social structure when explaining women’s attraction to the far right. “The Ambivalence of Far-Right Women: Hate, Trauma, Gender, and Neoliberalism in Contemporary Japan” doi.org/10.1177/088626…

@novareidoffic They’re on it

I had my doubts #TheScienceOfHate would be published in China after the book ban in Russia, but this arrived in the post today.

And if you're looking for a resource to help you - calmly and intelligently - confront the hatred of the Far Right, I can highly recommend this, by the remarkable @AdamRutherford

@Prof_Rob_Smith Huge congrats!! 🙌

I’ve been promoted to Professor. It’s odd sharing good news ((gestures at the hellscape)) but there are a good few people on here who have been involved in that and I want to say thanks to you all. Let’s keep doing the work, together #EMCA #Sociology #Ethnography

@YvonneJewkes @FaberBooks Thank you!

This is a fascinating, meticulously researched, hugely readable book about hate. @MattLWilliams tells his own story about being the victim of a hate crime and explains why hate increasingly feels omnipresent. I found it especially informative on the Trump/hate nexus @FaberBooks
