🚨New Publication🚨
Happy to announce that my paper "Fascism and Foreign Policy: Trumpism and the Politics of National Decline and Rebirth" has been published in @gsqjournal.bsky.social.

Great fun today to tour with my postgraduate students the @sussex.ac.uk campus designed by Basil Spence and reflect on its symbolism while talking about critical IR theories.
