My winter break project was an app to browse and follow academics from many of the lists on the Academics on Mastodon page.
https://find.sciences.social reads data from the lists, and makes it easy to see profiles and follow academics.
The app doesn't scrape or store any information - it just shows the cdv-files in a new and (I hope) more useful way.
Give it a try.
Discover Society is an online magazine of social research, commentary, and policy analysis
The latest issue is guest-edited by Pardis Asadi Zeidabadi on 'Iran: Woman, Life, Freedom'. It examines the on-going protests after the death of 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman Zhina (Mahsa) Amini by the so-called “morality police” for allegedly not wearing the compulsory Islamic hijab.

“Please read my new essay in @TheLancet — When dignity meets evidence: https://t.co/ZWdfJEKlwl There's a kind of knowledge practice we may call 'dignity-based practice'. It respects the dignity of marginalised knowers. It's been slow to take off, unlike 'evidence-based practice'.”

Abstract Can civil disobedience be transnationalized? This question presumes civil disobedience to be a fundamentally domestic concept—one constitutively tied to both the nation-state and the normative underpinnings of liberal, constitutional democracies. This article shows how this assumption mistakes one version of civil disobedience's twentieth-century intellectual history for the whole of it, and risks reproducing binaries (domestic vs. international, democracies vs. non-democracies) that trouble attempts to theorize the transnational. Turning to an alternative intellectual history—a network of civil rights and anticolonial activists—reveals a novel theory of civil disobedience as decolonizing praxis, as well the stakes of these binaries: the disavowal of white supremacy as pervasive and durable global structure of governance, linking the domestic to the international, and democratic rule to domination.
