New article alert with Dr Thia Sagherian-Dickey @coco-journal.bsky.social! We examine how children are raised in protracted conflict, how it offers civilians agency in transmitting protective strategies, and pathways (and pitfalls) to conflict transformation.

My paper, published in @coco-journal.bsky.social, demonstrates the relevance of operational claims for IO legitimation. I focus on one common type of operational claim-making whereby IOs invoke tradeoffs between norms to account for perceived legitimacy deficits. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
