Protesting at university: What are my rights? - Liberty libertyhumanrights.org.uk/advice_informa…

Feeling changed having (finally) read Sophie Lewis’s manifesto for family abolitionism. This passage especially struck me, connecting to the recent anti-genocide encampments. How can we build a feminist, queer, anticapitalist world, centring love & care & liberation?

'the rethinking & reformulating that is inbuilt

- everyone read this amazing response article now 👏

I reviewed Dr Margot Tudor's new book 'Blue Helmet Bureaucrats' in International Affairs. Anyone pondering the shortcomings of modern-day UN peacekeeping is well advised to read this insightful history Cambridge University Press : academic.oup.com/ia/article-abs…

Very excited to see this published! 🥳Emily Clifford Hannah Richards and I thought about the next 50yrs of IR. Embracing the potential of the classroom, we hope it may be imaginative, relational, messy, vulnerable and collaborative! RIS #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1017/S02602…

A more organised thread with some thoughts on Zadie Smith, as someone whose spent a lot of time with her writing.

Zadie Smith has had consistently liberal (not leftist) politics, and has also consistently shown a belief in her own exceptionalism (as have critics at large)

Finally I'm interested if World Press Photo is a 'journalism' competition why did the judges pick a crop of the image (less context)? Why pick the less confronting image where we cannot see the woman's face (see below)?

I'd argue because the choice is about 'art' not journalism.
