Thanks Eva!

I've written a short piece on international law, fetishism, and ideology - now out on Legal Form. I suggest that international law is an ideological fetishism of international relations.

I edited a book "Danish Marxism: Past, Present, Future" that was released at the tenth annual conference of @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social a few weeks ago. It celebrates 10 years of critical research presented at the conferences and can be downloaded for free here marxistiskestudier.com/wp-content/u...

Executive committee member @mariethogersen.bsky.social brilliantly defending her PhD, “Ruling the Cloud - A Critique of International Cyber Law” - and beginning with a denouncement of the University of Copenhagen for their collaboration with Israeli universities complicit in the Gaza genocide ✨🙌✊🇵🇸

the pic doesn’t do justice, but @mariethogersen.bsky.social is smashing it at her doctoral defence😎

I wrote a review of @brunoleipold.com's brilliant book:

Front page of Danish public service news provider with article with headline “Danish researcher was proud and honored by prestigious research opportunity in the US - but said no”

Danish Marxism making headlines. Brilliant colleague and comrade @routhier.bsky.social on the front page of the Danish public service news provider, explaining why he declined a Fulbright scholarship for a research stay at NYU @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social

Thank you Sune! ☺️

Dansk forsker: Forskningsopholdet ville fremme min forskning og karriere. Alligevel takker jeg nej til Trumps USA Som hvid mand med papirerne i orden er risikoen ved indrejse til USA begrænset for mig. Alligevel tager jeg ikke imod legatet til et forskningsophold i landet.

So I wrote about why I declined my Fulbright grant and canceled my research stay at NYU.

Almost half of young people would prefer a world without internet, UK study finds Half of 16- to 21-year-olds support ‘digital curfew’ and nearly 70% feel worse after using social media

An astonishing statistic. And the fact that we created a world where that is virtually logistically impossible is a real detriment and very sad.

Come hear @kmunro-econ.bsky.social talk about her exciting research in Copenhagen✨

The talk is free and open to everyone!

The most peculiar aspect of writing might be the seamless coexistence of the two concerns, “if I don’t get shit done soon someone else might run with my idea” and “my idea absolutely sucks”

Just received this new volume, which makes a much-needed intervention into the mainstream legal literature on international organizations. I’ll be discussing it next week at CBS with editors Negar Mansouri and @drqv.bsky.social - come by if you’re in Copenhagen, or join us virtually! 🔥

The hand wasn’t permitted unfortunately. Migration rules these days…
