I’ve been fortunate to receive, among others, the Nicole Senécal Award in International Law, but even more so to have met Ms. Senécal in person and shared a rich lunch conversation on everything from international law to life beyond the academy. Special thanks to Ms. Nget for facilitating this!

Edmonton welcomed me last week at the #RILS conference, and the camaraderie was palpable! Thanks to the organizers for creating space & @ubakaogbogu.bsky.social for hosting. My piece “Two Sides of a Coin: Are a Coin” offered a metaphorical exploration of migration as currency & border as method.
