I really enjoyed recording this podcast on my new book, Neoliberalism and Race, with Morteza Hajizadeh newbooksnetwork.com/neoliberalis...

Latest blog post Neoliberalism is Constitutively Racialised by @lcornelissen.bsky.social In his new book, Neoliberalism and Race, Lars Cornelissen argues that the neoliberal tradition of thought is constitutively racialised. isrf.org/blog/neolibe...

It's publication day for Neoliberalism and Race!

Author’s copies of my book have arrived! It looks even better IRL! Neoliberalism and Race will be coming out mid-October with @stanfordpress.bsky.social

Turns out the men who founded the Adam Smith Institute held some pretty controversial views on race, IQ, and segregation. Read my latest blog post here: keeping-up-with-the-neoliberals.beehiiv.com/p/the-adam-s...

Very much looking forward to this!

New article out with Rachel Phillips in @ripejournal.bsky.social: 'Financing the Border', Part of a special issue on Raced Finance guest edited by @iliasalami.bsky.social, @vincentguermond.bsky.social and me www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Why is Palestine a defining fault line of 21st‑century politics? Resisting Erasure places Israeli settler‑colonialism within imperialism, race, and fossil capitalism—not just humanitarian / legal narratives. Officially out & available in paperback & ebook www.versobooks.com/en-gb/produc...

"Snowdon’s is a knee-jerk reflex calculated to protect the neoliberal project and some of its most precious philosophers from what he perceives to be a smear campaign." keeping-up-with-the-neoliberals.beehiiv.com/p/the-neolib...

This is my cat. In other news, if you have a chronic illness or identify as disabled and are in the UK, I've just co-founded a new support group, AccessingArchives. Instagram: www.instagram.com/aarchivesnet.... You can sign up here: forms.gle/5o8m8Jy9ux4B...

Wrote a post about Lionel Robbins and race. After stumbling on a pair of surprisingly incendiary early pieces on race and population, I found that Robbins had a career-spanning interest in differential fertility rates. keeping-up-with-the-neoliberals.beehiiv.com/p/robbins-on...

📢🔔 ICYMI - this at 1989 views in less than a month is By FAR our fastest moving article ‘Founder as Victim, Founder as God’: Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and the two bodies of the entrepreneur - @cibled.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I've accidentally wound up doing a mini-lecture tour of London this week & in case anyone is desperate to hear two very different perspectives on the history of Newfoundland, here they are. First, at Gresham (there are tickets left for the live stream) ... www.gresham.ac.uk/whats-on/sha...

Very exciting to see that my book has its own page on the SUP website now Should be hitting shelves in October! www.sup.org/books/theory...

I wrote a report with @cmmonwealth.bsky.social on the current corporate push to privatise outer space - one of the few remaining commons of humanity (dixit international law)

Very happy to say that my article on Musk and Thiel's political theory of the founder (drawing on Lacan on the way) is out with @jcultecon.bsky.social! Strange to see it out there with all what happened in the last year, but it will hopefully make it a good read www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I'll be speaking at @greshamcollege.bsky.social on 30 April about my new research; on a subject that is profoundly important to me and to the world (even if few have heard of this incredible woman and her people). Register to attend in person or online here: www.gresham.ac.uk/whats-on/sha...

New article with my dear friend @lcornelissen.bsky.social! We read through Louis Rougier's work and discussed his connections with the French far right. The article is behind paywall sadly, so DM me or Lars if you don't have institutional access and need a free copy.

New publication with @cibled.bsky.social Between neoliberalism and fascism: Louis Rougier, race, and the ends of neoliberal ideology We discuss the career and thought of Louis Rougier, who for most of his career moved between neoliberalism and the French far right doi.org/10.1080/1600...

"Programmatically, the contemporary opponents of neoliberalism are still for the most part whistling in the dark. How is inequality to be tackled – not just tinkered with – in a serious fashion, without immediately bringing on a capital strike?" www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Lars Cornelissen reviewed THE SOLIDARITY ECONOMY alongside Melinda Cooper's new book and Jennifer Burns at Modern Intellectual History. @princetonupress.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

a few years in the making: our special issue on the IPE of Green Finance is complete! 🧵on its content: 1. Sarah Sharma and I wrote a (long) editorial introducing the idea of a green finance ecosystem and calling for a 'deep engagement' of IPE w. gr. finance 👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Really enjoyed this paper: A neutral toolkit? For a fundamental critique of constructive alignment by @lcornelissen.bsky.social and Lucy Newby … a robust critique of learning outcomes, reminding us all that however long we’ve worked with an educational idea, we should keep a critical view.

This was a fun early morning read. "A neutral toolkit? For a fundamental critique of constructive alignment" www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1... "Conceptualising teaching as entrapment, CA is expressly and self-consciously a ‘pedagogy of confinement’"

I have a new paper out with Dr Lucy Newby in Teaching in Higher Education (open access!) It’s an historical and conceptual critique of the theory of Constructive Alignment, which is the hegemonic pedagogical framework in European higher education today. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

It really is shocking how outdated, user unfriendly and error prone software used by academic publishers is. Everything from submissions portals to copy-editing and proofing applications to journal databases is just so far behind where the technology should be and essentially not fit for purpose

On 7th March at @uoe-sps.bsky.social we'll be celebrating Jay Wiggan's book 'The Politics of Unemployment Policy in Britain' (@policypress.bsky.social), with commentary from Chris Grover and @annedaguerre.bsky.social, hosted by @lcornelissen.bsky.social. More info: isrf.org/events/polit...

Bidwell is echoing established neoliberal precedent here. In 1970, the Institute of Economic Affairs (in many ways the ASI's parent organisation) published a book on immigration w/ several papers voicing express racist views.

In this contribution to ISRF Bulletin 32, Adam Balcer discusses the sharp rise in anti-immigrant sentiment in Poland and its normalisation at the hands of centrist politicians. #Poland #Immigration #Migration #Refugees #Centrism #FarRight #BorderRegimes isrf.org/blog/stress-...

I wrote up some thoughts about the current fiscal crisis in UK higher education and the sector’s seeming inability to arrive at a conception of fairness not constrained by methodological individualism. isrf.org/blog/fairnes...

Another disastrous week for British higher ed. This institutional vandalism is a product of continued managerial and political failure. Solidarity with those affected www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-u...

“Yet regardless of the work of historians to debunk or deflate many of Barnett’s claims, his political vision lives on, mining a rich seam of declinism and national nihilism that runs under so much English culture.” www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2025/0...

The PERCBlog is back on with a post by @ingarade.bsky.social about her new article for the Socio-Economic Review. Inga calls for allowing governments to use capital controls more freely again as a way to stabilise financial markets and retain capital in the industrial sphere. More below 👇
