It was a pleasure to write this review of @chouliaraki_lâs brilliant new book Wronged: The Weaponization of Victimhood for @EJCS_Journal.
Wronged is an essential text for this crazymaking moment in public moral politics, and I canât recommend it highly enough đ
Wow! Brilliant reflection on Wronged in @EJCS_Journal.@kat_hig đ
Wronged opens new ways of thinking about the centrality of pain in political life, while inviting us to meet the challenge of reclaiming victimhood to build a more just, less painful world.

âTwo-tier Kierâ is reverse victimisation, a classic far-right strategy of communication, @kat_hig and I argue in this @LSEBPP blog post on the recent U.K. riots đ
đĽNew! Rioters, far right activists, and Elon Musk, have been propagating the idea of âtwo-tier policingâ. @chouliaraki_l and @kat_hig argue that this claim gets things backwards, and identify this as a communication strategy of reverse victimization.

âTwo-tierâ policing is not a myth. Like all the best conspiracy theories, itâs an upside-down truth.
@chouliaraki_l and I write about policing myths and the tactical victimhood of the far-Right for @LSEpoliticsblog đ

Yes, that's why...
Real determination to see this as a win for policing rather than thousands of anti-racist protesters
As far-Right vigilantes flood our streets and our government calls for a "standing army" of "supercops" to deal with them, a reminder to watch out for the logic of cruel benevolence.
We cannot fight racism with a racist criminal legal system đ

As someone new to @GoldsmithsUoL, it has been truly bewildering and infuriating to witness managementâs treatment of staff. Irreparable damage is being done to a great institution. But there is an alternative and time to reconsider. #notadonedeal @GoldsmithsUCU
Kat Higgins (aka Kathryn Claire) retweeted
There is NO convincing financial justification for proposed redundancies @GoldsmithsUoL
In fact new HESA data shows it's doing well given the sector hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysisâŚ
Time to stop giving millions to private consultancies & reverse the cuts!

I learned so much as an author & activist on the #CreativeWriting MA @GoldsmithsEng âď¸10 yrs & 2 published novels later, I teach on that same MA course. Horrified that @GoldsmithsUoL now aims to axe 133 jobs. The arts & humanities will suffer. This must be stopped #NotaDoneDeal
#NotADoneDeal!! Arts and humanities are worth saving, can be saved, and WILL be saved!
đ˘CALL TO ACTION:
Senior management @GoldsmithsUoL are counting on our exhaustion.
They want us to think these redundancies are a forgone conclusion.
But we know itâs #NotADoneDeal!
Use the hashtag #NotADoneDeal to let them know that you will help us fight until the end!đŞ
Really looking forward to this! Come down if you can đ

"The butchering of @GoldsmithsUoL by inept management and cack-handed consultants provides a dismal example of the deterioration of UK Higher Education."
