🚨🚨🚨 I’m very excited about a piece that I published w/ CPS this year, titled ' The Co-optation of Dissent in Hybrid States: #PostSovietGraffiti in #Moscow." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00… 📣 A thread... 1/7

My work stands on the shoulders of theory giants, such as Habermas and Lefebvre on the autocratic control of public spaces, as well as on more recent greats like John Bushnell and James Scott on the art of resistance... none of whom are on Twitter. [Photo by Gennady Grachev.] 3/7
