Very sad news about the passing of Andrew Linklater. Grateful for his many scholarly contributions - which I continue to use in teaching and research - and for the chance that Emma Hutchison and I had to work with him on an International Theory Forum on theorizing emotions.

Big thanks APSA Australia for the incredible honour of the 2022 Crisp Prize for my Cambridge University Press - Politics book Affective Communities in World Politics. I am very grateful and thrilled. Thanks also to UQ POLSIS HoS Professor Katharine Gelber, PhD for accepting the award on my behalf in Canberra.
