I am elated to share that the special section "Threats and Opportunities: The Contestation of Gender and Sexuality in International Organizations" that I co-edited with the wonderful Jelena Cupać of the @wzb.bsky.social is finally out in @ifjpglobal.bsky.social! www.tandfonline.com/toc/rfjp20/2...

The section starts off with an introduction by Jelena and I in which we conceptualize international organizations as not just threats to the work of anti-gender actors, but also as opportunities that these actors seek to take advantage of. Access it here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My article "God’s lawyers? The Christian Right at the European Court of Human Rights" looks at how ADF International and the ECLJ play a double game at the Strasbourg Court. They try to shape the Court's jurisprudence while also undermining its legitimacy. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

On this topic, you may also be interested in reading this new network analysis by @giuliamariani.bsky.social: 10.1093/sp/jxaf015/8097952 Giuliana also contributed a review of a book by Agnieszka Graff and Elżbieta Korolczuk to our special section! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

@georgeradics.bsky.social looks at backlash politics against the UNDP's "Being LGBT in Asia" project in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. It's a much-needed contribution on a neglected region in anti-gender politics. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The contribution by Rebecca Sanders and Laura Dudley Jenkins introduces the concept of "reactionary international norm building" to the study of anti-gender politics. They usefully present three Rs to describe this process: revisionist, retrotopian, and radical. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Last, Jelena and I had the pleasure of speaking to Naureen Shameem and Neil Datta about the important work they have done as practitioners in the fight against anti-gender politics within international organizations. You can read our conversation here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
