My article on street harassment activism just appeared in the first 2025 issue of @TheSocReview !

How do victims share their experiences while trying to avoid reproducing stigmas about racialized men or disadvantaged areas?

New article in Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly and I’m quite proud of this one!

"What Shapes Feminist Journalism? Comparing Dutch and French Reporting on Street Harassment"

@jmcquarterly @Prof_Dimitrova

[JMCQ @jmcquarterly]

Read this piece to find out how and why the institutionalization of #feminism and the existence of newspaper sections dedicated to #gender issues inform whether #journalists consider feminist knowledge as compatible with #objectivity standards.

How can boys and men be effectively involved in preventing gender-based violence?
I wrote this @ISGA_Hague blog post based on a study of boys' reception of street harassment awareness training programs

@KuypersMarieke Zie ook bijv de publicaties van @L_deJonge in de literatuurlijst, die laat ook heel duidelijk die verandering onder NL journalisten zien

[Mischa Dekker @DekkerMischa]

@KuypersMarieke Mocht je het interessant vinden, ik analyseer een aantal van die processen in dit artikel:

[Mischa Dekker @DekkerMischa]

New paper in @journstudies! How do debates on political correctness inform how journalists do their work? With @jwduyvendak we identify reporters' concern about being politically correct as a source of racial stereotyping of street harassment perpetrators

[Mischa Dekker @DekkerMischa]

How effective are laws criminalizing street harassment in preventing sexual violence? I was asked by @entr_en @dwnews to comment on the new street harassment law in the Netherlands

New article! Excited to publish this study in Men and Masculinities. I analyze how race and class inform how boys respond to #streetharassment awareness programs and how boys may fail to see harassment as ‘their’ problem (thus deflecting responsibility) https://t.co/uBe5Y69BB5

Zie hier mijn stuk hierover van een paar jaar geleden: https://t.co/4hCx6fSFz4

[Mischa Dekker @DekkerMischa]

12 (!) jaar na de 1e initiatieven om straatintimidatie strafbaar te stellen is vandaag de eerste veroordeling. Dat dat zo lang duurde komt vooral door onhandig experimenteren met APVs onder leiding van @DilanYesilgoz in Amsterdam en @Eerdmans in Rotterdam

Today's my first lecture as Assistant Professor in Leiden, where my teaching focuses mainly on gender-based violence. Today we discuss how race shapes victimhood and perpetration of violence, taking this Summer's UK race riots as a starting point.
Looking forward to this semester

[Mischa Dekker @DekkerMischa]

Sinds twee maanden is straatintimidatie strafbaar in Nederland. Hoe handhaven politieagenten dit in de praktijk? Ik gaf commentaar in @volkskrant voor dit interessante stuk van @rikkuiper

Maar Macron geeft dus de voorkeur aan de zeer rechtse Barnier, een keuze die enthousiast ontvangen wordt door radicaal rechts. In 1981 stemde Barnier bijvoorbeeld als één van de weinigen tegen de volledige decriminalisering van homoseksualiteit.

[Mischa Dekker @DekkerMischa]

Met Barnier gaat Macron voor een premierskandidaat die de zegen heeft van Le Pen en Bardella. Het politieke verhaal van nu, zowel in NL als FR, is hoe gematigd rechtse politici radicaal rechts aan macht helpen, ook al zijn er opties voor samenwerking met gematigd links
(1/3)

[Mischa Dekker @DekkerMischa]

Mélenchon gaf eerder aan dat LFI er voor open staat niet mee te regeren als Macron de kandidaat van links, Lucie Castets tot premier benoemt. Daarmee stond de deur open voor een centrum-linkse coalitie met het blok dat de verkiezingen gewonnen had.
