A wonderful few days last week at the Gender and Diplomacy Conference in Sweden, where I presented my research on the British Council's gendering of diplomatic accreditation. Missing the fika already! ☕🍰

Looking forward to presenting my PhD research at the 'Britain, Conflict, and the Sea' conference this September - book tickets below!

What an incredible legacy to have coined two words which describe so fully and so neatly such a hugely complex, important, and frequently misunderstood part of international relations. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/u...

A great programme this term - come and join us at St John’s!

A bit late posting this, but last week I had my first book review published - Rodrigo Christofoletti's edited volume, Soft Power and Heritage www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Two days left to submit!

Not long to go!

This might be the worst photo I’ve ever taken, but after nearly two and a half years of researching the British Council I got to visit their HQ today!

I don't think you can really call what Frodo and co. did a 'Fellowship'. None of those hobbits had to pass a grueling application progress or talk about Early Career Research goals. And only one of them submitted a book or paper at the end of it.

What does a cat called Honey have to do with diplomatic accreditation? Come along this evening and I’ll tell you!

Can anyone recommend a good voice recorder? It's intended for oral history stuff (but not for archival deposit)

Academics are outraged that University College London (UCL) has failed to put its Art Museum and significant art collection at the heart of its bicentennial redevelopment plans.

In case you haven't seen it on the Other Place - a great programme of events this term!

Aiming to be all STEM and no flowers, fruits, or seeds.
