My new book, Air and Love, will be out in May. It's a history of migration and belonging, through the story - and food - of one family. Now more than ever, it's time to think about displacement and its legacies.

Today is Jane Austen’s birthday & one cool way to celebrate would be to donate to Chawton House, the historic house of her brother who provided her with a home during the years when her books were published. Today it’s a charity devoted to celebrating women writers. chawtonhouse.org/get-involved...

Does feminist anti-militarism require pacifism or is there scope for revolutionary feminism in global politics?

Che Guevara and the case for revolutionary feminism in global politics

I am happy to announce that I will be the series editor for a new Routledge book series, 'Technology, International Relations and World Order'. The series will feature work on the politics of technology and relations of global power and authority.

A call for proposals will follow in a few days.

My article in E-International Relations offers a brief introduction to Rabindranath Tagore's early twentieth century international thought:
Tagore’s Early Twentieth Century International Thought
Tagore's rare blend of globalism, anti-imperialism and anti-nationalism was grounded in a normative commitment to love and universalism.

Very pleased to be part of this symposium. My contribution argues for a relational sociology of knowledge in IR. I argue we should see the disciplinary history of IR as part of a global knowledge production enterprise. IR didn't originate in one place, it was global at birth. doi.org/10.1017/S175...
