Is it possible to rethink Peace and Conflict studies? Join us for a discussion on the possibilities and constraints of decolonizing the field, challenges to mainstream assumptions, and how to promote a broader critical analysis of #Peace and #Conflict in these unprecedented times: buff.ly/l2NW9kB

2 realities: a gilded oval office; millions of USers marching under #NOKINGS banners. Extremists deploying a queer peril; the power of queer activists in encampments, in the street, in elected office in cities like Columbus, defending justice & human rights. Knowledge does not bow down to tyrants.

As I wrote in the newsletter, I respect and admire members who are taking a stand and will not come to #ISA2026. I also understand members who need in-person engagement with colleagues and mentors around the world to advance their work. Knowledge cannot bow down to tyrants.

University of Pretoria site visit, walking around the city, shout out to @isanet.bsky.social President Siba Grovogui, who was raised in Guinea and became a judge before coming to the US.

Alison Johnston and I have a new open access article out arguing that pressure from domestic rather than foreign bondholders is most effective in forcing populist governments to rein in their economic policies. Our case studies are Italy and Hungary, but there are clear lessons for the USA.

In my latest essay, I explore factors that can affect who serves in the leadership of ISA. I argue that requiring potential chairs to serve first as program chairs--and v.v.--could preclude many qualified, interested members from serving in entry-level leadership. @isanet.bsky.social #polisky
