Thank you so much! I would be so interested to read what you all are working on as well! My book soapbox is about the myth of state neutrality in the face of re-victimizing marginalized communities in Colombia post-accords..

My new article in Third World Quarterly is out!
“El estado es un macho violador: Reconsidering the state as a site for peacebuilding.”
It argues that the state reproduces patriarchal & colonial violence — and that peacebuilding must center feminist, decolonial practices of care & resistance.

My co-authored article: “International Relations Scholars, the Media, and the Dilemma of Consensus.”

We dig into how IR scholars navigate media engagement and balance consensus with debate—especially urgent in an era of growing backlash against experts.

Frente a una ola de presiones en su contra, el EMC está en modo de guerra.

Generar miedo a través de ataques terroristas es, a la vez, una muestra de fortaleza, pero también de debilidad.

Y en español: La COP30 asume que los Estados controlan sus territorios, pero la realidad es mucho más compleja. Las industrias extractivas, grupos armados y élites políticas suelen tener más poder que los gobiernos nacionales.

La COP del clima debe empoderar a la sociedad civil

La COP ignora la realidad de América Latina y asume erróneamente que los gobiernos son los principales conductores de las políticas climáticas

This gap between climate commitments and realities on the ground puts environmental defenders at risk.

If COP30 is serious about tackling the climate crisis, it must go beyond state-led solutions and center the voices of those actually protecting these territories.

COP30 assumes states control their territories—but in Latin America, the reality is far more complex. Extractive industries, armed groups, and political elites often hold more power than national governments.

To fix climate crisis, COP30 must empower civil society

COP ignores reality on the ground in Latin America and wrongly assumes governments are key drivers of climate policies
