After being repeatedly asked about this for the better part of a fortnight, I figured I'd just write it up in one spot. It's not an endorsement of nuclear deterrence, nor a nuclear-armed Iran. But could we live with that outcome? Yep. theconversation.com/could-we-liv...
Could we live with a nuclear-armed Iran? Reluctantly, yes
Both Israel and the US claim a nuclear-armed Iran would pose an existential threat. It wouldn’t. Here’s why.

With global health budgets collapsing, @lukeglanville.bsky.social and I have a short reply up at BMJ Global Health. We argue that states must resist the pull of self-interest and short-termism. Ethical prioritisation means focusing on effectiveness and the worst-off.

It’s really quite insane that Israel, alone among the countries of the world, literally bombs every one of its neighbors on a regular basis while committing genocide against the people of Gaza, all with the near total backing of both US political parties and zero political accountability.

I've got a new article out that speaks to the flaws and weaknesses of the campaign against autonomous weapons and of humanitarian disarmament narratives in general. In this one I'm specifically concerned with the use of 'human dignity' as a reason to ban or regulate AWS. doi.org/10.1163/2772...

This is a great collection of essays, edited by the *brilliant* Bridget Anderson of Migration Mobilities Bristol.

It examines the histories of international borders and explores mobility beyond the human and across time, from the movement of soil in the Middle Ages to contemporary cow passports.
