We couldn't be in better company! @asylummagazine.bsky.social 😊
Excellent programme - but media coverage, so far, is erasing the fact that this cruel 'treatment' was used to convert people's gender expression as well as their sexuality. Trans erasure 🙄 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
"Ambivalence is pervasive in #Activism but has far too long been neglected by scholars. This important and original collection explores the potential of ambivalence in a wide range of contexts." - Silke Roth, University of Southampton

Pleased to have a chapter about mental health activism in this exciting new book about Ambivalent Activism. Out now! bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/ambivalent-a... @brisunipress.bsky.social
