'Contested Body Counts, a Missing Airman, and the (Necro)Politics of America's War in Iran' - a new blog from me now published by @ecprtheloop.bsky.social ! theloop.ecpr.eu/contested-bo...

🌍️ The recent rescue of a US airman from remote Iranian territory obscures a deeper truth. 📊 As contested casualty figures emerge, @kandidapurnell.bsky.social argues that what we see, count, and mourn in war is never neutral. bit.ly/4cgq83T

This paper builds on our 2023 co-edited book "When This Is Over: Reflections on an Unequal Pandemic" published by @policypress.bsky.social & the work of its wonderful contributors. #disaster #emergency #resistance #trauma #embodiment #politics policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/trade/when-t...

What role do disasters play in global politics? In Vol. 53’s Special Issue, Amy Cortvriend, Lucy Easthope, Jenny Edkins, and @kandidapurnell.bsky.social explore how embodied trauma disrupts the status quo — and may open a path to a new social-political order. 👇 thetinyurls.com/redirect.php...

📚Our Special Issue features the following contributions: 1. Amy Cortvriend, Lucy Easthope, Jenny Edkins, and @kandidapurnell.bsky.social — Memory Politics After Disaster: Recovery, Embodied Trauma and the Covid-19 Pandemic doi.org/10.1177/0305...

Congratulations and respect to you all. ❤️ Lisa Nandy acknowledges that the grief of Covid bereaved "is profound. With friends and families unable to mark people’s passing in the normal ways it felt as if people were disappearing." We wrote about this in 'When This is Over': tinyurl.com/48v8nb8y

Happy to see our latest work together published in Millenium. After disaster a return to the status quo isn't inevitable. It can be an opportunity to resist journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... Always a joy to work with @kandidapurnell.bsky.social @jennyedkins.bsky.social @lucygobag.bsky.social

I had a lovely (mind-blowing/intellectually rejuvenating etc) time at #ISA2025 and @richmondunildn.bsky.social wrote about it! www.richmond.ac.uk/news-events/...

Had a great time yesterday at the ‘Corporeal Connections’ roundtable at #ISA2025! Such a fascinating discussion on embodiment and global politics with an amazing group of scholars.

**smugly turns up in the hotel gym before 0800** (Little do they know I’m still on 🇬🇧 time) #ISA2025

If you're at #ISA2025 in Chicago then please come along to the roundtable on my book Weaponizing Civilian Protection, where some much smarter people than me will pick it apart. Sunday between 4 pm and 5:45 pm in Stevens Salon C-5 at the Chicago Hilton.

Shared a lift with Ellie Goulding + entourage at Heathrow.. will this be the highlight of #ISA2025 ?! No because I then found @kslootmaeckers.bsky.social @rguerrina.bsky.social and @kamwright.bsky.social while boarding 🤗

I'll be on this roundtable on Monday👇🤗

Because the #ISA2025 programme is too much, share your panels here (pls)! Sun 1600: Chairing @tom-gregory.bsky.social 'Weaponising Civilian Protection' book launch RT Mon 1030: Co-chairing 'Corporeal Connections: Land, Flesh, & the Embodiment of Global Politics' RT w/@laurenbwilcox.bsky.social
