Dr Elizabeth Pearson

As well as all the recent awful, it has been my birthday 🎈 and I’ve been promoted to Senior Lecturer. Important to note the goods! In celebration, a friend made me an Extreme cake (millionaires shortbread) .. 😁😂

How does online misogyny become a catalyst for real-world violence? In “Emergency Meeting 63”, Dr Elizabeth Pearson @lizzypearson from the Department of Law and Criminology, Royal Holloway, University of London @RHUL_Law analyses Andrew Tate’s post–Southport broadcast to show how extreme misogyny operates as both a gateway and an organising principle for contemporary extremism. Drawing on critical discourse analysis, the article demonstrates how misogynist, far-right, and accelerationist narratives are strategically combined to normalise violent imaginaries, emotionally script male grievance, and mobilise youth towards hate crime. 🎥 Watch the livestream: youtube.com/watch?v=CAHYZe… Organised by Solidarity with Others in collaboration with @RightsContext of @ugent, @BonaveroIHR, @bristolunihric, @IDHUV, @RWallenbergInst. 📍 Echoes of Hate – International Conference | 15 December 2025, Ghent #EchoesOfHateConference

So few convictions for rape - the sentencing matters. Filming is an aggravating factor and too common as an attempt to add extra pain. Rape victims are being let down time and time again. bbc.co.uk/news/videos/ce…

It was turning to old Labour hand Mandelson that helped lead to where we are today. Have some confidence and look forwards not back. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@MichaelRosenYes @BBCRadio4 Happy Birthday!! 🎂 📖 That also means quite a lot of years of making children happy with your books ! 🎉

On Word of Mouth at 3.30pm today I’m talking to Dara O’Briain about the passing of time. @BBCRadio4 In my case, 80 years of time today!

Needlessly aggressive interview on @BBCr4today with Zack Polanski.. sure, test him and his policies but this is an unpleasant listen.

@HSTIKKYTOKKY4 Jimmy Savile did a lot of charity work. Google it. Offsetting all the abuse. But being remembered as a good guy doesn’t work like that. Money is useful to help others - but do you think money is manhood? You’re young. It’s ok to say you got something wrong.

My response to Theroux and the broke minions commenting online 😂

@JRLOakley Flowers week - him saying he’d told the women what to do and they didn’t do it quick enough 🤨

I’ve not despised a candidate in #TheApprentice as much as I do Lawrence in a very long time. Utterly clueless, inept - and just plain awful.

@RyanSoapKing25 Honestly think it’s because she’s a woman who’s better than they are. Sadly. All male pitch was poor look also.

Why is Karishma being sidelined in this task when she has gaming experience? #TheApprentice

It wasn’t dramatic as they were all so terrible on that task. He’s not even firing them “with regret” anymore. #TheApprentice

@elonmusk British/German. And I hear she enjoyed the odd holiday in Scotland. This any good?

I’m sure that’s about to happen any day now 🤣

@mayemusk @RupertLowe10 Your nostalgic fantasy has absolutely nothing to do with our country, which you don't understand. White people can travel the world, but brown people can't.. ? Racist hypocrisy.

My English grandparents on my mother’s side immigrated to Canada. I met them a few times in Montreal. Below is a photo of my parents when they visited our English family in the 50s. I still have relatives in England. I’m sure they now see hope in Great Britain with @RupertLowe10 @RestoreBritain_ and feel proud to be distantly related to @elonmusk 🇬🇧
