First IR Conference. Walks in, turns around and wisely walks right out.

Souvenir from a "spirited" discussion on status in world politics. Great to chat with Michelle Murray, @AliBilgicLboro, & Steven Ward. Hosted by the inimitable @dhnexon & @profptj. Looking forward to the @whiskeyIRT episode! #BISA2023 BISA - British International Studies Association

Happy 4th, y’all!

So proud of my former advisee, Edris…one of the best students I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with at Bard College . He’s on to my alma mater UChicago CIR this fall as he charts a career in international relations. chronicle.com/featured/stude…

My latest The Costs of War Project research, out today, shows that the widespread myth in the US that the so-called "war on terror" is over could not be further from the truth.

Buy this book! Owen gives it 2 thumbs up! Chris McIntosh cambridge.org/us/universityp…

If you haven't already, check out Chris McIntosh excellent The Time of Global Politics. Long-awaited for those of us who've been fans since Chris wrote one of the first-ever conference papers featuring time and IR way back in 2006. Congrats mate! cambridge.org/core/books/t...

During my research pertaining to "Power Transition Theories", I came across a book titled "The Struggle for Recognition in International Relations" written by Michelle Murray. Her constructivist approach to PTT blew my mind. I recommend everyone to read this book.

I'm so thankful to Josh Rovner Paul MacDonald and Joshua Freedman for their thoughtful engagement with my book! I learned so much from this exchange. Check it out! issforum.org/ISSF/PDF/RJISS…

Of all the criticisms of the ongoing student protests, there is nothing that offends me more than the bare assertion that words have fixed, obvious, and timeless meanings, and that it is the privilege of these critics to declare what those meanings are. What mindless bullshit.

Always a war abolitionist
