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.

Excellent presentation on Refuge Reimagined by Luke Glanville and Mark Glanville - 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!

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

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

This has been a labor of love - a book about #scifi and how it can help us think about future military challenges. Coming in October 2021! ow.ly/UmWe30rAs3Y

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

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').

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

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…

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

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

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
