Way to go Alister Wedderburn on this smart, thoughtful, and interesting contribution to a field that's seldom as much fun as it should be. I'm looking forward to when this "drops". I'm hoping to teach extracts from it for this year's World Politics class.

In a new ISR article Rhys Crilley reviews the literature on popular culture and world politics, pointing towards issues that need more attention, such as race, intersectionality and digital technology. Simon Philpott Kyle Grayson academic.oup.com/isr/article/23…

This new Rhys Crilley piece is a thoughtful, insightful assessment of the PCWP agenda over the last decade, but it's also way more than a 'state of the discipline' paper, posing incisive and challenging directions for future research. Essential reading

Suffice to say it is *not* the one they put in the brochures.

I missed this somehow last week, but will be catching the recorded version. So should you!

At Oxford Politics and IR we are looking for a top IR scholar who wants to be part - but also lead - a dynamic, excellent and pluralist IR group. We strongly encourage applications from women and/or candidates from Black and minority ethnic backgrounds. Really. jobs.ac.uk/job/CEP936/mon…

Thank you 101 East for the chance to speak with Ali Fowle about the #MyanmarCoup & ongoing protests in Myanmar. The military's brutal repression of peaceful protesters has been awful to watch, and I'm grateful for the chance to offer some thoughts #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

I'm firmly with Shue on this one. The danger, however, lies in the tendency (of some) to overestimate our ability to constrain, to the point where we actually lose sight of the fact that war is "shit", and it cannot be made otherwise (only marginally less "shit").

March 15-19 is Ned Dobos appreciation week. Join the queue. You'll be in good company: Peter Balint, Neta Crawford, Cecile Fabre, Chris Finlay, David Rodin, Cheyney Ryan, and of course Ned Dobos himself. unsw.adfa.edu.au/school-of-huma…

So angry to hear this. Solidarity with colleagues whose careers and indeed livelihoods have been treated so callously.

Thrilled to be joining this amazing conference tonight and for the next three days. Outstanding keynotes and panels, intriguing new formats and platforms. Only three hours to go 😎#MLot21

Super exciting work! Big congrats Cecilia Jacob ! Look forward to reading this!

Excellent presentation on Refuge Reimagined by Luke Glanville and @markrglanville - I've been in this field for a bit, and this was one of the clearest presentations of Christian responsibility for refugees that I've heard. Convicted!

Just finished this excellent #book by Margaret MacMillan. Covering the history of #war, as well as how and why we fight, it is a fine examination of war’s impact on human societies. It is well worth adding to your professional reading pile.
