A thread:

Me trying to start a conversation about all-male panels:

Me: Why are there no women on the panel?
Men: We can't find women who can speak about this issue.
Me: Have you asked them?
Men: No
Me: Why are there no women on the panel?
Men: OMG I just noticed.
Me: Why are there no women on the panel?
Men: We have invited one woman but she couldn't make it.
Me: There are other women you can invite. All you need to do is ask around. Have you asked around?
Men: .......................
Me: Why are there no women on the panel?
Men: Women have to step forward. They can't expect too much from us.
Me: How do women step forward? They are not the ones organizing the forums are they?
Men: ......................
Me: Why are there no women on the panel?
Men: Would you like to speak?
Me: Hell no. I refuse to be an afterthought.
Me: Why are there no women on the panel?
Men: There are not many women who can speak about this issue.
Me: I have a list of names of women who can speak about this issue. I can give it to you.
Men: ........................
Me: Why are there no women on the panel?
Men: This is not a women's issue.
Me: So religion, race, class, elections, democracy, social justice are not women's issues?
Men: ...........................
Me: Why are there no women on the panel?
Men (and women who internalise patriarchal values): But the moderator is a woman.
Me: It's still an all-male panel.
Me: Why are there no women on the panel?
Men: *mansplain endlessly*
Men: *invite me to attend all-male panels*
Me: Sorry. I've stopped going to all male-panels for years.
Men: Oh. Ok.
Women make up half of the population and yet they remain invisible. If women continue to be invisible to you how would you even see other marginalized groups?

Exclusion. This is what you are perpetuating.

#Thread #Kurukshetra #Analytics #Mahabharata
Started a fun project of mine today. Recording the duels of Kurukshetra war in an excel sheet in anticipation of some interesting pattern. Watch this space for interesting tidbits. Full exercise may take quite a while
Interesting Results! #Kurukshatra #Analytics. So many duels without a declared result on Day One
Could record two general battles and 26 duels on Day One. Only 6 of those duels ended decisively. Pandava side suffered horribly in the hands of Bhishma. Uttara killed in the hands of Shalya. Saving grace being Abhimanyu countering Bhishma and winning over Brihadbala #Kurukshetra

If you want to stop the rise of right-wing populism, then all you need to do is to restrict immigration. Obvious as this claim may sound, it is misleading. #Thread 1/15
To start with: Politicians from across the political spectrum have embraced this claim, not only conservatives 2/15 theguardian.com/world/2018/nov…
Indeed as @tabouchadi and Werner Krause show, mainstream parties tend to shift toward more anti-immigrant positions when confronted with a successful right-wing populist parties 3/15

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

2nd #Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what do you currently see as being the major obstacle to women entering your field?'

Responses incl gender career stereotypes from an early age, lack of self-esteem and lack of female role models #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think that there is not enough awareness of female role-models in my field. There need to be more initiatives that allow young women to connect with female role-models so that they can be inspired and motivated to follow in their footsteps."
2. "Discouragement from teachers in high school to pursue a STEM career and an unwelcoming atmosphere in technical universities."

I have been working on radicalism, populism and extremism for 15 years, having published my first (co-authored) article in 2003. Time to take stock and reflect on the field and its gender unbalance #Thread
When I first started doing research on radical right-wing populist parties, I didn’t notice there was a strong overrepresentation of men. The other PhD students of my supervisor @CasMudde were mostly female and I met plenty of talented women scholars at conferences.
Moreover, influential books on radical right-wing populism were published in 2005-2006 by Elisabeth Carter, Michelle Hale Williams @PippaNorris and @TerriGivens by university presses and Elisabeth Iversflaten was publishing groundbreaking work in highly ranked journals.
