Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s flight to the US took a circuitous route in an apparent effort to avoid countries that could enforce an outstanding arrest warrant against him for alleged war crimes.

We thought it was particularly relevant to think and write about. Proud to coauthor one with the big man. Have a look and let me *us( know what you think!

Welcome to Bologna, #EISAPEC2025! We’re having a Concepts and Theories section get together tonight- come by for some casual “networking”. We’ll be sitting outside at Piazza Giuseppe Verdi from 8-9:30, likely in front of Bar Freud & Cantoncino (look for the EISA lanyards). All welcome!

Can’t wait! Come say hello!

Cannot *wait* to make use of this space for some experimentation! Send us any and all ideas it sparks for you!!

Thank you again to @europeanisa.bsky.social for hosting us, and the support I've always received from the @ecdeisa.bsky.social

Concepts and Theories EISA PEC Section 2025

Two days left to get your applications in for EISA's Bologna Conference! If a trip to Italy isn't enough, how about a space entirely focused on theoretical and conceptual conversations? We've got some exciting programming in the works- I'll drop a teaser tomorrow!

Poster for a "Concepts and Theories" section at the EISA pan-European Conference. It says: As researchers, we engage in practices of theorizing, and in working with concepts we inevitably work on concepts. This section creates a space for conversation across theoretical and sub-disciplinary divisions. To build a diverse intellectual community we welcome a wide range of approaches to knowledge production and encourage participation by marginalised and early career scholars.

Thinking about applying to the @europeanisa.bsky.social conference but looking for a place to discuss the concepts and theories that cut across all our work?

well do I have NEWS for YOU

Had a fantastic time in Chicago at @isanet.bsky.social, but the jet-lag is kicking my butt, whew

We want to use the symposium as an opportunity: not just to critique what exists, but to practice new kinds of scholarship together. As we prepare the call for papers, remember that we want to encourage interventions in a wider range of formats!

Definitely 'Race and Revolution at Bwa Kayiman- cannot quantify how meaningful this piece has been. @robbieshilliam.bsky.social's work inspired me to think more creatively about what my scholarship could be.

an excellent summary- now I need to read the whole book!!

Viva tomorrow. Terrified. But skimming my thesis again actually made me feel more confident in what I submitted. Going to do my best. See y’all on the other side- hopefully with good news

genuinely jealous of this tweet. i would have been delighted to have posted it myself

Luigi got them shook.

Academic job market:

2024: I’m overqualified but so are the 900 other applicants

1974: I’ve scrawled this idea down on a cocktail napkin, please direct me to the tenure

If someone's primary function as a leftist is curation -- dividing leftists whose politics are good enough from those who should be condemned for their insufficiencies -- plz understand, that's brand work. That's not organizing. It's not building anything. Those people aren't offering you anything.

*every academic submitting a piece for an edited collection/special issue etc*
“ok the thing is, im not gonna make the deadline, but the travails i have suffered! i am but a smol bean”

*every academic editing a collection etc, putting on cop costume*
“OH OH! jail for a thousand years!”

Starting your most incoherent sentence with "put simply" to deflect blame onto the reader

Excited that there are at least a few people out there reading our last paper- we hoped someone would find it useful. Open access and "trending" @journalpolitics.bsky.social at number 4! feat. Lydia Hiraide, @carolineleicht.bsky.social, @elsabmeuller.bsky.social, and @katiepruszynski.bsky.social

Yes person on the internet Syrians are aware that everything isn’t perfect and that there are challenges ahead. I think they didn’t need you to tell them that given that it’s been 5 decades of tyranny and no country ever emerged from tyranny without challenges ahead.

I like to do this when I’m using quotes where philosophers automatically generalise he/him pronouns
