This concentration camp was opened at Fort Bliss, the site of a former Japanese internment camp.

It also cost over $1B in private contracts to build in a place meant to hold 1000 people. So, basically it’s a fascist grift.

Some think, for instance, that since the Exec Order mentions that the fee applies to (re)entry into the US, that it may not apply to F1 students currently residing in the US. I'm not a lawyer. Please check with one. Don't discriminate against internationals on the admin's behalf.

Dear search committees and HR, while we should be absolutely worried about this, please do not take this as fact and aniticipatorily screen out international candidates. That would only make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. Check with your legal counsel.

The season of Western multilateral summitry (G7, NATO) may be over, but the diplomatic show must go on.
In this @ejir.bsky.social piece, I argue that summitry is a performance producing what I call the "social international," or the intl system of state persons

Here it is: a tribute to Emma Hutchison, my amazing wife and research collaborator. I hope it does justice to the brilliant scholar and the remarkable person she was. Sorry it took me a while after Emma’s passing to gather enough strength to honour her. www.rolandbleiker.com/tribute-to-e...

Emotions and Expert Authority in Global Governance AbstractEmotions are often overlooked but crucial in global governance. This chapter helps fill this gap by theorizing the emotional underpinnings of why p

In it, we theorise why we desire international expert authority with illustrations from humanitarianism, climate governance, and nuclear politics.

We found it surprising at how little was written on Emotions and Global Governance, so @jittipm.bsky.social and I wrote this essay for the Oxford Handbook on Emotions and IR (edited by @simonkoschut.bsky.social & @andrewagross.bsky.social) :)

Happy to share that my essay β€œThe International Order of White Sovereignty and the Prospect of Abolition” is now out in Ethics & International Affairs. In it I argue that racialisation in the international order means we need to take seriously global calls for abolition. doi.org/10.1017/S089...

Thanks everyone for the generous interest in this starter pack. Very glad it's been useful πŸ™. It's already reached its limit of 150 people (non-dormant accounts only) so I can't add more people to this one. But there are some other great starter packs with overlapping themes, linked below 🧡

The job ad lists a wide range of issue areas. They are illustrative, not restrictive, of what excites people here.

Again, I'm not on the committee, so I'm happy to chat in confidence :)
