A wonderful thing about research leave is the chance to read important books like John Blaxland SFHEA FRSN & clare birgin's 'Revealing Secrets: An Unofficial History of Australian Signals Intelligence & the Advent of Cyber'. Highly recommended.
(Huge thanks to John for my signed copy. 🙏)

Many of the in-built contradictions in the liberal international order were pointed out by critics early on. How was contestation made acceptable by people in power? My article draws on the sociology of knowledge to explore the 'normalization of deviance’ doi.org/10.1093/isagsq…

Wise words at our publishing seminar from Andy Hom: 'please don't think of the acceptance as the end of you work on the article'

BISA - British International Studies Association and RIS encourage authors to consider video abstracts and blogs to promote their work in more comprehensive way.

Are you interested in publishing in RIS or another peer-reviewed journal? Are you an ECR or PhD from or based in South Asia? There is still time to register for our publishing event later today 👇
