Mit Eva Herschinger und @drfranksauer.bsky.social mache ich in @taz.de Vorschläge für Unis zum Umgang mit generativer KI. Der wichtigste Punkt (und davon rücke ich nicht ab): Denken lernt man am besten, wenn man das *eigene* Gehirn zum Schreiben benutzt 🤓 Also wieder zurück zu Stift und Papier?

💭☀️ @amenzel.bsky.social and I are looking for participants for a roundtable on ”Imaginaries, Struggles, and Practices of/for Progressive Politics“ to be proposed for @europeanisa.bsky.social PEC 2026 in Lisbon. See our abstract below and if you’re interested, send us your ideas until 10 February! 👇🏼

🏃🤝 In pursuit of a "better deal": how populist leaders claim success in renegotiation through smokescreen fights and by scaling back their demands. The case of Boris Johnson, the EU–UK Withdrawal Agreement & the TCA, as analysed by Benjamin Martill 👇 🖇️ www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

How do exemplary acts become themselves? This impressive, wide-ranging volume interrogates the intricate interplay of political claims, performance events and recognition.’ - Srdjan Vucetic, University of Ottawa Publishing #OpenAccess:

Beate Jahn & Sebastian Schindler have compiled a fantastic “Elgar Encyclopedia of International Relations." What makes it special is that it not only covers well-known IR concepts but also many less-established ones—such as art, failure, friendship, or post-truth. A great resource! 🙏 lmy.de/mjCbh

Why do many IOs struggle to learn despite a plethora of formal learning processes and tools? In my new ISQ article, I argue that the criticism culture—the way IOs deal with criticism from their employees—is an overlooked but crucial variable to explain (the lack of) learning in IOs. 🧵 lmy.de/DsCjm

Ausgehend von Reemtsmas "Vertrauen und Gewalt" argumentiere ich @mittelweg36.bsky.social, dass es Konflikte sind, in denen Vertrauen in das internationale Gewaltverbot verhandelt wird. Das lässt sich an Praktiken der Kriegslegitimation empirisch untersuchen. cc @prif.org

Mein erster Post hier, für mich ein wichtiger. Irene Weipert-Fenner und ich haben die letzten Tage lange an diesem Text gefeilt. blog.prif.org/2023/11/21/i... Es ist eine Analyse eines deutschen Kriegsdiskurses, der in normativer, analytischer und strategischer Hinsicht problematisch ist.
