Dear search committees and HR, while we should be absolutely worried about this, please do not take this as fact and aniticipatorily screen out international candidates. That would only make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. Check with your legal counsel.

Publication day! My article "World heritage and inter/national cultural prestige" is now available online, and it is also part of the special issue I am co-editing with Jelena Subotic ([email protected]) on global heritage politics. 1/

The season of Western multilateral summitry (G7, NATO) may be over, but the diplomatic show must go on. In this @ejir.bsky.social piece, I argue that summitry is a performance producing what I call the "social international," or the intl system of state persons journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

It's publication day! Take a look if you are curious about the narrative modes through which states pursue world heritage recognition

Wonderful wake up to a new Special Collection of @risjnl.bsky.social honoring Emma’s work on emotions and the influence it had on international relations scholarship. Big thanks to the editorial team. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

So happy to have this piece in the volume! Thanks to @amozhor.bsky.social and @jittipm.bsky.social for the contribution!

Here it is: a tribute to Emma Hutchison, my amazing wife and research collaborator. I hope it does justice to the brilliant scholar and the remarkable person she was. Sorry it took me a while after Emma’s passing to gather enough strength to honour her. www.rolandbleiker.com/tribute-to-e...

We found it surprising at how little was written on Emotions and Global Governance, so @jittipm.bsky.social and I wrote this essay for the Oxford Handbook on Emotions and IR (edited by @simonkoschut.bsky.social & @andrewagross.bsky.social) :)

Come work with me! I am recruiting a PhD student who wants to work at the intersection of Afrofeminist Thought and International Relations. www.queensu.ca/research/res...

Happy to share that my essay “The International Order of White Sovereignty and the Prospect of Abolition” is now out in Ethics & International Affairs. In it I argue that racialisation in the international order means we need to take seriously global calls for abolition. doi.org/10.1017/S089...

My article on the political economy of anti-Chinese racism is out in the latest issue of the American Political Science Review (open access). The baton of Sinophobia that awaits the next US administration has a longer and more ambivalent history in British colonial capitalism in Southeast Asia. 👇

Thanks everyone for the generous interest in this starter pack. Very glad it's been useful 🙏. It's already reached its limit of 150 people (non-dormant accounts only) so I can't add more people to this one. But there are some other great starter packs with overlapping themes, linked below 🧵

Reasons why our struggles in Latin America are deeply entangled with Palestine's liberation/decolonization. Israel’s role in Indigenous/campesino genocide in Guatemala —technologies of violence imported from Israel are still used to repress the movements in Guatemala.🧵1/
