One year ago, on the 140th anniversary of the Berlin conference in 1885, @mariamsalehi.bsky.social and I hosted a workshop on reparative research with researchers and scholar-activists. Co-authored by all participants, we are very excited to share our discussions and visions in this working paper!

📝 We have a new working paper out! You can read ”Towards an Agenda for Reparative Research“ here: refubium.fu-berlin.de/bitstream/ha... The paper synthesizes the discussions of our workshop @interactfu.bsky.social last year. Thanks to all our participants for co-authoring!

It is quite baffling to see the difference in German, French, Italian discourses around Venezuela these days

@goldmatt.bsky.social und ich haben deutsche Waffenlieferungen an Israel analysiert - rechtlich, politisch und im Hinblick auf die Behauptung, das wäre ein Beitrag zu israelischer Sicherheit. Insbesondere analysieren wir erstmalig effektiven und tatsächlichen Raketenbeschuss auf und von Israel aus.

Like @prisonculture.bsky.social, I've been worried about the ways popular myths of the civil rights movement make it hard to see how to struggle today.

Gaza und die deutschen Medien: Einsichten und Aussichten @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social | @nadiazaboura.bsky.social beginnt das Panel mit der Einsicht, dass die fortwährende Diskussion über „umstrittene Fakten“ Kapazitäten von wichtiger Problemanalyse abzieht.

An English translation of our book "Trigger Points. Inequality and Political Polarization in Contemporary Society" will come out @brisunipress.bsky.social: bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/triggerpoints It studies the social bases of political divides over migration, climate, diversity & redistribution

Great to see our article on Imperial Boomerangs now officially out in this year‘s @millennjournal.bsky.social special issue on Traversing Memory in Global Politics! In the article we develop an analytical lens with three strands: the governing 🪃, the 🪃 of imperial subjectivities, and the material 🪃.

We’ve surveyed ‘Non-Western Visions of International Order’ for Annual Review of Political Science vol 29 www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

When I heard of “Clash of Civilizations” as an undergrad it immediately struck me as absurd 19th century racial determinism. It does not do the IR field any favors to take it seriously.

Das muss man sich mit Ton anhören.

Die Bilder und Meldungen aus #Giessen sind erschreckend. Gewalt gegen Protestierende und Eskortierung rechtsextremer Politiker*innen - unsere staatlichen Organe gehen gegen diejenigen vor, die unsere Demokratie verteidigen, und schützen jene, die sie abschaffen wollen. #gi2911

❓How is climate adaptation becoming a security practice – and what does that tell us about the future of governance? 🚨 @ifshhamburg.bsky.social is seeking a PhD researcher on extreme adaptation in the field of security and defence. www.ifsh.de/institut/ste...

Am 19. Februar 2020 ermordete ein Rechtsextremist neun Menschen in Hanau. Fünf Jahre nach dem rassistischen Attentat sind viele Fragen noch offen. Erstmals veröffentlichen wir umfangreiche Dokumente zum staatlichen Umgang mit dem Anschlag. Zur Hanau-Datenbank: fragdenstaat.de/artikel/exkl...

INTERACT @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social at #MESA2025 in DC 📍 Follow our colleague @myriahmed.bsky.social for updates on her work about social mobilization in #Sudan and stay tuned for her article on the ecology of the Karthoum sit-in!

Über die Zahl der toten Palästinenser im Gazakrieg wird heftig gestritten. Uns liegen Daten des @mpidr.bsky.social vor, wonach deutlich mehr Menschen gestorben sein könnten als bekannt: mindestens 100.000 in zwei Jahren. @zeit.de www.zeit.de/politik/ausl...

Vorwürfe der Einseitigkeit werden in der Nahost-Berichterstattung laut. Eine INTERACT-Studie von Jannis Grimm, Justus Könneker und @mariamsalehi.bsky.social zeigt die Asymmetrie in der Darstellung des Sterbens und wird heute im @derstandard.at thematisiert. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

„Die Begriffe „Krieg“ und „Genozid“ sollten nicht gegeneinander ausgespielt werden“ - @amenzel.bsky.social und ich haben als Friedens- und Konfliktforscherinnen ein Plädoyer für diskursive Mehrgleisigkeit geschrieben debatte.krisol-wissenschaft.org/die-begriffe...

Kluger Debattenbeitrag von @mariamsalehi.bsky.social & Anne Menzel bei @krisolwissenschaft.bsky.social: "Wir schlagen vor, den Kriegsbegriff nicht abzulehnen, sondern von eurozentrischen Annahmen symmetrischer Gewalt befreit zu nutzen, um die Relevanz belegter Gewalt in den Vordergrund zu rücken."

Coming soon in RIPE Series in Global Political Economy - War Economy: Gendered Circuits of Violence and Capital, co-edited with Jacqui True. More at: www.routledge.com/War-Economy-...

Sehr schöne Differenzierung! In der Suche nach Superlativen geht oft verloren, wieviel Gewalt auch der Kriegsbegriff selbst enthält.

So, this is not only a matter of project and human resource management, but affects the very logic of these organisations. Can one expect that they will take care of their people and see it as part of the very work they set out to do? /3

They are the first to being let go - not the staff at headquarters, who have their hands on the budget. These are highly educated people who often have taken quite significant risks to work in these fields in repressive contexts. 2/

It’s quite obvious, but worthwhile to highlight again: the cuts in funding for aid/development/human rights work in the West do not only have implications for Western NGOs or potential beneficiaries in the countries where projects are implemented. They also hit “local staff“ in these countries. 1/

Kann natürlich auch sein, dass der Bundeskanzler ein Buch von sich in den Klingelbeutel wirft.
