Lovely to be at International Christian University, Tokyo today (and see trees and grass too!). Beautiful campus.

These are the scholars I admire who inspired the theoretical principles of the Everyday Peace project group at Willy Brandt School of Public Policy @unierfurt. Thank you Roger Mac Ginty Katerina Standish

Yesterday MSF International published a comprehensive report looking at silent killings Gaza - meaning individuals who have succumbed to health conditions that are entirely preventable.🧵

If anyone is in Tokyo on Thursday …

Over many years as Head of School & Dean I’ve had to explain the relevance & value of the Social Sciences, Arts & Humanities. Our disciplines are under constant attack (from within HEIs & beyond) & I’m tired of having to constantly defend our essential work

Any university that allows snipers on the roof of campus buildings in response to a nonviolent student protest is not place of higher learning.

We understand virtually all NI-based academics approached, would not be part of this.

When we met with Lord Caine, Anna Bryson asked what the purpose of the official history was: response was that the British Government was entitled to put forward its version of history.

Here in South Lebanon the cross-border hostilities are causing endless suffering for refugees and local communities.
Latif is too sick and too poor to flee his war damaged home.

I have been fortunate enough to read an advance copy of this and it is excellent. It is a career-defining book by one of the best scholars out there and it shows how our international system needs urgent reform.

I disentangle networks and politics of the new Cold War with The Conversation. We are in an age of neolateralism.

Palestine is experiencing a unseasonal heatwave of almost 40c. This makes plastic tents in which 100,000s of Palestinians are sheltering unbearable: a 5 month old baby reportedly died of heat exhaustion. Climate adaptation is a question of class, justice and liberation.

And I'm very pleased to announce I am joining Peace Studies & International Development as a lecturer in Peace and Development! Very excited to see what the next steps bring.
