At #BISA2025, my first academic conference as a PhD student. Feeling inspired by just how many of the neocolonial, “rational” walls of the discipline have fallen in the last years & grateful for others’ work that now allows me to unabashedly study/criticize capitalist transformation in war settings

We finished the 1st day of #BISA2025 with our 50th roundtable talk chaired by Mark Webber

Joined by Barry Buzan, Chris Brown, Christopher Hill,
Caroline Kennedy-Pipe, @rgwhitman.bsky.social
and Ruth Blakeley for a fascinating discussion about how IR has changed over the last 50 years! 🌟
June 19, 2025 at 1:16 PM
Caroline spoke about how BISA set a new ‘interdisciplinary standard’ - enforcing a presence within universities and allowing people to explore IR outside the traditional realms of academia.
How #BISA2025 and all other BISA conferences have helped facilitate this‼️
June 19, 2025 at 1:17 PM

We had an amazing time at #BISA2025 this week - including a panel on Base Women and Beyond, which looked at both nuclear and military sites. This included discussions around what happens when the military leaves a base and feminist approaches to military studies.
