Edina Paleviq's MUST READ: Patrica Owen's Erased: A History of International Thought Without Men. It debunks the familiar portrayal of male thinkers in IR as only a partial story reflecting a structural distortion in how the discipline remembers its past.

Watch his victory speech for how it gives zero time to the nonsense binary of "idpol" vs "class politics". The stars of that speech are the *multi-ethnic* working class. It's a speech grounded in the rich complexity of material reality, not two dimensional caricatures and facile abstractions.

I'm not a keen follower of the Epstein case. Maybe this is something everyone knows.
But I'm shocked and revolted by the male academics who one after another raped trafficked children. My god I hope you are all found and punished.
