Tillbaka från konferens i London, bestyckad med ny fin mugg fylld med svenskt kaffe från Lindvalls, och manusutkastet framför mig. #författarliv #iccees2025

I posted briefly about this earlier this week, but the 'Unissued Diplomas' exhibition at #ICCEES2025 made such a big impression on me I wanted to write something longer. New on my website jamesrodgersauthor.com/simple-and-m...

Thanks @uclssees.bsky.social @ioe.bsky.social & @basees.bsky.social for organising #iccees2025. I contributed by presenting on “Russia's revisionist foreign policy and the false diaspora discourse in Germany” and chairing a panel on “Peace, Democracy and International Relations After the Cold War”.

#ICCEES2025 day 5: This final day was packed, with Azerbaijan’s new Left, emigré Euromaidan participants, possible future(s) for Crimea & Ukraine's minorities in wartimes among our topics. We are grateful for all the conversations had & glad to have contributed as a partner organisation this year!

Great finale of a super interesting 5-day conference with a wonderful talk by Sergey Radchenko. Lot of inspirational ideas gathered. Holidays already over, next week I will be restarting my hard PhD work.

Thank you for @aelmgren.bsky.social for taking pics during my presentation. It felt great to share my research. I got great questions, and we had some further follow-up chat after the panel. Thank you for the organisers for their great work, it was a really inspiring event. 👏 #iccees2025

This week at the #ICCEES2025, I spoke about a stork as a messenger of spring and wonder, an ancestor who always finds its way home, and a body that bleeds and dies in the war. Grateful to other panelists, everyone who listened, and to all the friends I made in London!

Big times in London at the #ICCEES! Great panels & talks, wonderful material at the British Library & new cooperations ahead: During the next months, I’ll be a Visiting Fellow at the LSE & continue working with the amazing @dinalog.bsky.social on the Wilsonian Moment in Eastern Europe 💪

Really happy about this little tradition of dedicated @basees.bsky.social - @zois.bsky.social Roundtables! Covered a lot of ground in the discussion based on a range of very different but interconnected projects on the agency and uncertainties among displaced Ukrainians.
