Have a listen to me chatting with a bunch of scholars at the @anzsilgsil.bsky.social workshop on Feminist Approaches to International Law in the age of anthroposcene and authoritarian capitalism

We took #CalledTotheBar on the road to the ANZSIL Gender, Sexuality & International Law workshop! @pagingdrpaige.bsky.social chats with a wide range of scholars about feminist approaches to international law in an age of authoritarian capitalism.🎙️ soundcloud.com/calledtotheb...

Wondering what it might be like to work as a mid-career or senior researcher in Australia? UNSW's Green Fellowships are 1 or 2 year positions, open to those at least 8 years post-PhD, with the possibility of converting to permanent UNSW employment. www.unsw.edu.au/research/gre...

They missed one: Check out Called to the Bar - International Law over Drinks on #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/V2xUizacbYlE...

Happy to share my review (that was well late, sorry) of @glexareen.bsky.social's book "Statehood as Political Community" He may be a moral philosophy bro but his outcomes and ethics are sound in spite of that. The book is excellent and well worth your time www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

if you fancy listening to some (rather tipsy) doom and gloom chats about international law, look no further! Our end of year drinks with @djag2.bsky.social @imogenmarjorie.bsky.social @pagingdrpaige.bsky.social @drnajimagi.bsky.social are now out soundcloud.com/calledtotheb...

End-of-year drinks with the whole Called to the Bar crew 🍸 We grade 2025 in international law (spoiler: some marks dip below an F), talk “gangsterism as international law”, advisory opinions, Gaza, Ukraine, climate, and whether the UN era is ending. soundcloud.com/calledtotheb...

The ANZSIL/Australian yearbook of international law student paper prize is open! anzsil.org/student-pape....

🚨🚨 Call for papers!!! 🚨🚨 Together with @jenhendry.bsky.social, I am excited to ask for contributions to a special issue of the Journal of Comparative Law, dedicated to the legacy of the late and wonderful William Twining. Full details to follow:

Countdown until someone calls this piracy and @pagingdrpaige.bsky.social and I both lose our minds ... Nine ... eight ... seven ...

Well, new law of the sea dispute just dropped, I guess … www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Graduation day at UNSW Canberra

Another outing for Maritime Domain Awareness: The Board Game at a @bluesecprogram.bsky.social ECR workshop!

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing. they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors. their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen. their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

What a title! Up there with @andrewmueller.bsky.social ‘s description of her as “Britain’s most former prime minister”.

Television. The best British satire was “yes, minister“ and “yes, Prime Minister“. The best mainstream American dark comedy was “Don’t Trust the B**** in apartment 23”. The decision of the adjudicators is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

if you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

New #CalledToTheBar! Imogen Saunders chats with editors from the American Journal of International Law, Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, and Australian Yearbook of International Law about publishing, peer review, & what makes a great article. Essential ECR listening! soundcloud.com/calledtotheb...

Streeting to next launch inquiry into “over-diagnosis” of left-handedness. “Never used to be like this,” he insists.

It's that time of year. The Assembly of States Parties, the oversight body of the International Criminal Court, is holding it's annual meeting.

I mean this, academics. If you don't feel capable of embedding a trans perspective into your class for time or expertise reasons, ask me and I will come talk to them for you. I will even try to relate it to paleogeology (or history, English, drama...), god help me.

@pagingdrpaige.bsky.social and I are writing on piracy again, and have had it with the hostis humani generis nonsense.

Editor: why did you opt for using animus furandi over animo furandi in your discussion of the history of the law of piracy? Me and @pagingdrpaige.bsky.social : because both are generally considered correct but spellcheck wants to turn "animo" into "amino".

Academic selfie: a blast of arctic weather justified breaking out the custom overcoat and a Yorkshire wool waistcoat and trouser combination. Also, took little Maisie to the vet.

I’ve been a low-key fan of this pod since it started - I particularly enjoy the “what everyone gets wrong about…” sub-series. Deliciously irreverent and appropriately highbrow. But for this one I have to thank the co-hosts for the shout-out. Perhaps I need to write about 2803.

I have made an unstructured linen jacket with a self made pattern and no overlocker. Adventures in #sewing (This shot is great because you can’t see all the bodgy hacks holding it together.)

New episode of #CalledToTheBar is out! We break down UNSC Resolution 2803 and the bizarre reality of Donald J. Trump’s Gaza “peace plan” becoming international law. Self-determination? A “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump and Blair? We have questions. So many questions. soundcloud.com/calledtotheb...

By my PhD student Ignacio Portela Giráldez: France wants a bigger role in the Pacific, but hasn’t reckoned with decades of nuclear testing in Polynesia. ECtHR case may show France a path forward, but until then, talk of “renewed presence” rings hollow for many. verfassungsblog.de/an-atomic-bo...

Academic selfie: damn @pagingdrpaige.bsky.social always takes a fine photo when we're together.

Academic selfie: happy Doctor Who Day for yesterday to all who celebrate, and shoes.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

“Doug, you’re looking fine as hell tonight.” The bar staff at my local really are charming.

The end of the week in academic selfies: TGIF!

I am just an academic International lawyer, standing in front of every other discipline, begging them not to use the word “sovereignty“ without defining it.
