Read about the politics of making Pili www.mqup.ca/Books/S/Seei...

Visual politics and the aesthetic turn in international relations have emphasized the power of the image in world politics. Postcolonial and decolonial feminist theory shows the urgent need to rethink...

10 years ago this week Leanne Welham, Ansity Noel & I met with 80ish women around Pwani to hear their stories, ask what they thought about making a film & would they act in it?

The result was Pili. A film that went on to win awards, a distribution deal, a BAFTA nomination, & £1000s to these women

Huge congratulations to Sunil Amrith for winning the @britishacademy.bsky.social Book Prize!!!

I'm enormously proud of Sick of It being shortlisted alongside such fab books, especially as I *think* it's the first International Relations book to make the shortlist, hope it becomes the 1st of many.

Sophie Harman @profsophieharman.bsky.social · Oct 22

Absolute joy to discuss Sick of It at the British Academy Book Prize event last night, meet such lovely readers & shortlisted authors, & celebrate with my mates (Becky my pal since I was 12 who beats me at tennis every week & Simukai who has the most amazing book coming out next year!)

There was I worried I wouldn't have time to properly read America First Global Health Strategy before finishing my keynote for next week.... but its all BIG font and BIG pictures and some quite comedy (despite seriousness of issue) graphs

Spanning a broad range of non-fiction subjects from the global politics of women’s health to Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church, this year's British Academy Book Prize shortlist leads readers across continents and pivotal moments in history.

Here's why non-fiction is important to our authors.

Kindle has chosen Sick of It to be part of their 99p deal for October!

Given the first book I published back in 2010 was about £80 this is a much better deal. And cheaper than a whippy.

You may already have seen her on the BBC this morning, but journalists and policy experts looking for experts on digital ID cards - you need to speak to @kerenweitzberg.bsky.social

The Government is considering Labour Together's proposal to introduce mandatory digital ID cards in an effort to tackle irregular migration. There are problems with that.

When the US right talk about free speech in the UK their point of reference is always abortion. This is not an accident, but a core part of their agenda. Women's health as ever at the forefront of global politics.
