Meanwhile, outside the UK...

I assigned @flavialucenti.bsky.social's 2024 article on representations of the 'China Threat' to my course reading list this year, and in the student assignments...it was a hit! (A fraction of them pasted here). Not surprising, it's really good Check it out: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Full house for the inaugural professorial lecture of the brilliant @oliverescobar.bsky.social! Fantastic to hear all about his life, work, and achievements.

Happy to say the article I co-authored with the awesome @alexhlar.bsky.social on 'narrative alliances' as discursive foundations of international order is out now with International Affairs. Check it out! academic.oup.com/ia/article/100/1/203/7506707?searchresult=1

Nicely done, Edinburgh

One day I'll quit Twitter completely but possibly not until the World Bollard Association joins us over here
