This paper sheds light on dynamics of #indirect transnational governance and #localactor enlistment that underpin EU #security and #counter-terrorism . By championing preventive measures, more easily accepted by Member States because they align with social rather than security policy objectives.

Just going to slowly introduce some of my research to BlueSky.

I'm a critical theorist interested in political possibilities of new media, particularly memes. My first journal article was a theoretical framework for the political study of internet memes.

Kicking off this year's #BISA2025 with an amazing lecture from #CynthiaEnloe. I would try to make her words justice, and fail, but luckily I don't have to! Looking forward to seeing all my lovely folks this week in #Belfast, and thanks to @mybisa.bsky.social for another excellent conference :)
