‘“Peace is a quest. The human condition and all the challenges we have, such as climate change and food insecurity, are going to need action for the next 20, 30, 40 years. These are not short-term, fashionable issues.” #PeaceStudies #Education #AlternativeThinking

Title: How can we build trans peace?

CW: Discussions of Violence, Transphobia

So, giving a guest lecture today on Judith Butler's "The Force of Nonviolence," emphasizing gender intersections. This includes discussion of zombie apocalypses, hot takes on Gandhi, and the argument that throwing bricks at cops is an act of nonviolence.

Is this something my folks here would be interested in seeing a recording of? It would need to be modified, but considering putting a video of it up here (or on YouTube)

Does anyone know a good piece (scholarly or otherwise) on the history of Suffragette non-violent and passive resistance actions, like hunger strikes?

I am kind of astounded I keep coming across sources that want to credit Gandhi with influencing the British women's movement on non-violence and ignore that he literally credits the Suffragettes as one of his big influences.

Gosh, MLK could have been describing what it's like being a trans person right now:

"Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection." -MLK Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail

The problem of the white moderate is the problem of the cis moderate. Never forget, anti-racism and the fight for trans rights are intertwined.

Violence was widespread in early farming society, says new study

"The findings also suggest the rise of growing crops and herding animals as a way of life, replacing hunting and gathering, may have laid the foundations for formalized warfare."

Want to see what kinds of things I do in the world of research and scholarship? What to trans your notions of peace, justice, and violence? Well, here's a webinar I did last year, with my colleague Dr. Jamie Hagen and my wife Dr. Mikee Inton-Campbell, talking about the special issue of Peace Review we were working on at the time.

How many times have #transgender people or perspectives been discussed in leading #PeaceStudies journals in the last three decades? If you don't include a token mention as part of an acronym, I found exactly...2. Two papers ever in ten of the leading journals in the field of #PeaceAndConflict Studies were found in my brief literature review last year for my piece "Trans-ing Peace Studies: An Introduction." Trans authors are even rarer. This why I am #TransingPeace

Personal Best of 2022: Trans-ing Peace Studies!

Co-authored the introduction to a special issue of Peace Review I guest-edited with my partner in crime, Dr. Mikee Inton-Campbell. It was the first time in over 20 years that articles were published in the journal about transgender communities and one of the only collections of pieces in the field centering trans voices.

Proudest moment of 2022 for me was seeing this special issue of Peace Review I co-guest-edited become a reality!

"Trans Intersections of Violence and Peace" was the first time articles centered on trans folks were published in Peace Review in over 20 years! Some articles are open access, but dm me and I can help you get access to pre-print versions of those that aren't.

Curious if there are any mastadonians working in areas of #conflicttransformation #conflictresolution #peacestudies #conflictandpeace #mediation ?
Would love to find some community in these sreas as I consider my #gradschool options. The search bar didn't yield the results I was hoping for.

Can we start projects here, like #gamersforpeace and #artistsforpeace? #Games like #LeagueOfLegends connect us already through #peace and #war zones. I would like to see the EUW community to fight for the #MiddleEast for example. I would also like to create and #donate #art to support #peacestudies or so, see us gain attention through sharing our #artwork and use the positive (look at the WoWWiki! for eg!) energy a community like those of #gamers can have.

Anyone an idea?

once more my interests, now with hashtags: I'm interested in #cycling #desertification #landscapes #permaculture #urbanGardening #agroecology #pollinators #beekeeping #multispeciesFutures #FutureStudies #solarpunk #peaceStudies #commons #degrowth #postgrowth
And I did work and research in #Japan #Taiwan #Phillippines
I hope to find positive exchange and seeing all kinds of emancipated, decolonial, regenerative, intersectional alternatives.
Any recommendation on which instance I should be?
