A concerning colonial attitude by the UK government, implying that expertise is only located in the 'aid givers'. Collaboration, solidarity, responsibility, and most of all humility are key @wicidwarwick.bsky.social @mouzkhalil.bsky.social @shahnaz76.bsky.social @devcomms.bsky.social

The DSA are deeply concerned that the recent government announcements on immigration risk undermining the UK’s leadership in this vital field. The Government's white paper will create substantial impact in higher education. DSA and members respond: www.devstud.org.uk/2025/05/20/r...

Have your parents accidentally gone on holiday with conspiracy theorists? Mine have and they let me write about it in Critical Studies on Security! Help! My parents are normies: family friends, GPS, and the World Economic Forum www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I wrote about this phenomenon in the context of the First World War Centenary a while ago in an article for the Review of International Studies which you can read here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Delighted to see my article out in the latest issue of @ris. I explore how during the 2014-18 Centenary, the Royal British Legion encouraged Britons to vicariously identify with military ancestors as a way of helping them to emotionally buy into militarised revisionist narratives about WW1.
