Encouraging to see this framework and edited volume spurring on conversation and debate! So pleased to have been included & given the chance to reflect on what a relational peace framework challenges us to ask about the intractable conflict in Cyprus. Be sure to check out both the book & forum!

Heartening backdrop in Newcastle for the 2025 BISA-ISA Joint International Conference. Pleased to be co-convening, with @pehenne.bsky.social, critical discussions on opportunities & challenges to #religiouspeacebuilding. @mybisa.bsky.social @isanet.bsky.social @relreligion.bsky.social #peacebuilding

Looking forward to #BISA2025 (my first BISA conference) this week. Belfast should provide quite the stirring backdrop for a discussion of violent non-state actors with this stellar line up of colleagues on Friday. Join us if free and around! @mybisa.bsky.social @nottspolitics.bsky.social

Deadline extended until this Friday, 20 June. So the "still time to apply" still applies...Hope you can join us in Newcastle this October!

Still time to apply for the BISA-ISA conference in October. If you work on #religion and #peacebuilding consider submitting to the workshop co-organised by @pehenne.bsky.social & myself. Deadline to submit is this Friday, 13 June. #polrel #religionandpolitics #internationalstudies

Great way to start the week. New article w/ @pehenne.bsky.social now out. Many studies focus on the grievances-opportunity debate. We hope our relational approach can invite new questions and ways of understanding the link between repression and conflict. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #polrel

Grateful for this latest article w/ Dennis Petri to now be published & open access. We draw attention to the often-overlooked threats to #IndigenousPeoples' freedom of religion or belief in #LatinAmerica. #FoRB #religiousfreedom www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/16...

What better way to make a Bluesky debut than share the great work of current doctoral researchers. Check out the new forum on @isanet.bsky.social's @relreligion.bsky.social to learn from the work of @negah-angha.bsky.social & Andrew Dickson. www.religion-ir.org/blog/what%E2...
