So, for the next few weeks, I'll be hopping around North America with @sritholtz.bsky.social to talk about our book, The Way Out. First up, we're speaking at Swarthmore's Department of Peace and Conflict Studies with some wonderful students.

Congratulations to Sam Ritholtz and Rebecca Buxton on the publication of their book 'The Way Out - Justice in the Queer Search for Refuge'. 🥳

It's officially publication day for our book, The Way Out. It's been a long road. Rebecca and I started working together in 2019, and it's fair to say that the context shifted under our feet as we wrote and thought. Get the text 30% off with code UCPSAVE30 at www.ucpress.edu/books/the-wa...

To wrap up the year, I am happy to share a new article, written with Anna Corrigan, in Security Dialogue. Using political theory and cultural studies, we present a theory of transformative aesthetics to show how art reshapes political life after violence. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

It was a real privilege for me to be in Geneva for the launch of the @iesogi.bsky.social report on LGBTIQ people in situations of displacement at the UN HRC. I was thrilled to contribute to the report and support the work of the mandate. See the presentation here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDnl...
