New paper!

Ian Paterson and I explore Scotland’s desecuritisation of immigration, outlining how desecurisation can be an affectively attractive method to pursue the self as well as an ethical ontological security seeking practice.

I am genuinely confused (and potentially concerned) as to why ISA is sending out different messaging and framing to different segments of ISA membership about traveling to the 2026 conference. These are screenshots from three different scholars I know of the "same" email we received today from ISA.

#freedomwithoutborders
A dramatic, low-angle photograph featuring a police officer standing next to a striped red-and-white roadside barrier cone with a flashing yellow light. The scene is at a border crossing with a police vehicle visible in the background. A large yellow banner at the bottom reads: "WITH ITS TWO YEARS OF BORDER CHECKS, GERMANY IS SUFFOCATING OUR DREAM OF A FREE EUROPE." A political campaign graphic featuring the flags of Switzerland, Poland, Czechia, and Austria at the top. The bold text states: "The Schengen Agreement permits internal border checks for no more than two years. Yet today, Germany's controls with Switzerland, Poland, and Czechia have been in place for at least that long — and those along the Austrian border have now lasted a decade. Germany is, therefore, in breach of European law, eroding the spirit of Schengen and rekindling old divisions across Europe." An image showing a blue hot air balloon decorated with the circle of yellow stars from the European Union flag, ascending against a purple and light blue sky. A prominent green text box at the bottom provides a call to action: "AT VOLT, WE'RE CALLING FOR OUR FREEDOM TO BE RESTORED. IT'S TIME TO REOPEN ALL BORDERS AND BRING BACK FREE MOVEMENT FOR TRAVEL, TRADE, AND SERVICES."

Another Call for Papers for #BISA2026 (3rd-5th June, Brighton), this time for a panel I'm organising with @tom-cb.bsky.social. Deadline 24th Oct.

Gender and resistance in environmental politics: This panel will explore how gender relates to resistance against env harm AND resistance to transition.
We are putting out this Call for Papers for BISA2026 in search of people who are researching the connection between gender and resistance in the field of environmental politics. This call comes at a time of (at least) two forms of gendered resistance: 1. Growing resistance to measures that combat climate change and environmental destruction, a form of resistance that is often masculinised 2. Ongoing resistance against environmental destruction, a form of resistance that is both discursively constructed as feminine and that manifests as a form of burden that is often borne by women and other marginalised peoples Against a backdrop of the target of 1.5 degrees warming looking increasingly unlikely, and a ‘green’ transition currently reliant on new geographies of environmental and human harm and exploitation, any meaningful progress towards global environmental targets is stalling. Resistance to these forms of harm and efforts to transition away from fossil fuels are at a critical juncture. At the same time, there is a surging right-wing politics globally, part of which acts as a defence of industry and environmental harm. This form of resistance is directed at transition itself. We invite papers which explore the intersections of gender and resistance in relation to environment or climate politics. Approaches might include ecofeminism, political ecology, and feminist political economy. Some papers which participants might engage with: • Petro-masculinity: Fossil fuels and authoritarian desire (Daggett, 2018) • Feminist approaches to environmental politics (Lawrence et al, 2025) • ‘Gender and climate change’: from impacts to discourses (MacGregor, 2010) • Colonial erasures in gender and climate change solutions (Resurrección, 2024) Please send your 200 word abstracts to t.n.brookes@keele.ac.uk and weatherillck@outlook.com by 24th October along with your name, affiliation, career stage and geographical location.

Hello. Does anybody have any good recommendations for introductory literature on sanctuary cities? Particularly in relation to human rights or in the city’s relation to the state.
