Delighted to participate in an @h-diplo.bsky.social roundtable on James Lebovic's important OUP book The False Promise of Superiority, alongside insightful contributions from @paulcavey.bsky.social @mariarostrublee.bsky.social @mcfuhrmann.bsky.social issforum.org/ISSF/PDF/RJI...

“In Japan and Italy, women spend three hours more than men per day on household and care tasks,” @byheatherlong.bsky.social wrote about Claudia Goldin’s recent research. “In Sweden, it’s less than an hour difference. Sweden’s fertility rate is notably higher.”

In this APLN The Korea Times column, @mariarostrublee.bsky.social warns that the potential resumption of US #nuclear testing under the #Trump administration would severely undermine the global nuclear #nonproliferation regime and destabilise regional security. www.apln.network/analysis/the...

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

“Regional political and diplomatic fallout from resumed U.S. nuclear testing would be significant. The global norm against nuclear testing — violated in the past 20 years only by North Korea — would be weakened, making it easier for other states to restart their nuclear tests.”

If the US resumes nuclear testing, how should its allies and partners respond? My thoughts for the Korea Times: m-koreatimes-co-kr.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/m.koreat...

Very curious! I'm teaching an intensive class on nuclear issues, with a 2024 DIA report on Nuclear Threats on the reading list. Suddenly, though, it's gone from the DIA website - but the rest of their reports are still up. Luckily, I downloaded a copy. The report does focus heavily on Russia...

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

The Department of Energy estimates removing radioactive and toxic contaminants from groundwater to comply with safe drinking water standards at just 4 of 13 former nuclear weapons/energy sites will take 54 more years and cost at least $10 billion. But DOE cannot reliably track its progress or costs.

I’m sad to say I’ve had to withdraw from ISA 2025 b/c the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne has cancelled all conference funding for 2025. I’ll miss sharing the ISSS diversity work, hearing the newest research, and seeing colleagues & friends from around the world. @isanet.bsky.social

Great question from my colleague! What would you recommend @jordantama.bsky.social @jimgoldgeier.bsky.social @naazneenbarma.bsky.social @deborahavant.bsky.social ?

Teaching subject next year on foreign policy making and have a query to #polisky community: if you had to choose ONE article for students to read for critical take on policymaking what would it be? I have favourites (Booth 1995, 1997, Jahn 2017; Gani & Marshall 2022) but worried I'm missing stuff

Updated! There are 65 people, journals, and organisations on the starter pack now and we can go up to 150 before we have to start splitting off in some kind of hideous disciplinary balloon debate. Keep them coming! See also @lauraskh.bsky.social's list of Aus/NZ academics:

ACU was the first of several Australian universities to go down the path of destruction this year. Read this account by @hannahforsyth.bsky.social - an excellent historian who fell victim to these hunger games.

Made a (very) quick starter pack of Australia's foreign policy, security, and IR community to keep up as more people jump over from the Bad Place. It’s a work in progress, so if I missed anyone or if you want to be included let me know! go.bsky.app/VqMquA

Some International Relations (IR) journals (including ourselves) that we've encountered on Bluesky. Shout out if you see more! go.bsky.app/MgB9mVd

It’s finally here — my new article with Melissa Johnston, in which we develop a new theory and method for thinking about patriarchy as ordering of the international, and change in patriarchy over time: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
