today I am loving the UN Geneva Archives platform which hosts the complete League of Nations archives, digitised, entirely free some archive digitisation programs are very clunky & hard to use, this is immaculate & has an incredibly user friendly interface + excellent metadata

We're delighted to announce Bibi Imre-Millei as our new Book Reviews Editor! Bibi is a PhD student at Lund and a fellow at Queen’s. Interested in writing a book review? Reach out at [email protected]

Dr. Michael Franczak, Senior Researcher at UNU-CPR, sits down with Marc Uzan, Executive Director of the Reinventing Bretton Woods Committee, to explore the origins, innovations, and impact of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the New Development Bank (NDB).

They explored the challenges facing the UN system, including institutional silos and unequal representation. They stressed the opportunities created by current geopolitical trends, and the value of alliances and innovation to address contemporary global challenges.

Today, Dr. David Passarelli, UNU-CPR Director, and Dr. Eleonore Fournier-Tombs, Head of Anticipatory Action and Innovation (UNU-CPR), engaged with students in IE University’s Executive Master in International Development program, a collaboration with the United Nations System Staff College (UNSSC).

ISA go-ers: let's hang out :)

A new piece from me! www.queensu.ca/cidp/sites/c...

Great quotes here from a Canadian official — viewing the provincial premiers as rubes who went to DC, learned it’s not actually that easy dealing with Trump, paid $85,000 for a meeting with senior-mid-level staff, got publicly ridiculed after by that Trump staff ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/214...

Queen’s University workers have set a Feb. 3 strike deadline. CUPE cites falling wages, understaffing and rising workloads. Unions are urging action to improve conditions. #ygk globalnews.ca/news/1095562...

with snow and illness, we had 154 today. here are there thoughts on the liberal leadership race:

International Journal seeks 1,000-word book reviews on global policy topics spanning history, political science, and more. Submit to Caroline Dunton at https://journals.sagepub.com/author-instructions/IJX

A little cross post: I have my 200 Canadian politics students do a survey every class. It contains some short-answer questions that they have to go and research something online, some general reflection/opportunity for opinions on course content, and then some #cdnpoli polling Qs.

I'm finishing up my courses at Queen's (these students are a joy!) this winter & then on to a new adventure. In May, I'm joining the UN University's Center for Policy Research! After going to UNU's workshop this week, we will be moving to NYC in May (hence the speed wedding🥰)

In the interest of posting more, I did something else besides writing and teaching recently (though it did feature reading) ☺️

Wikipedia is the last major, visible platform for facts that they can’t buy. The attacks are going to be merciless.

I've hopefully got two journal articles coming out that were the product of some 2025 hard work and a couple of book chapters! One book chapter is already here: link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

But in case you wonder what I've been up to in 2024, I wrote some stuff! This essay in IJ: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Okay folks - I guess I am going to try remembering how to log in to this site and follow some of you back. A holiday project, if you will.
