📢 Spotlight on this week's, Legitimacy in Conflict & Peace conference, (17-29 Sept)! #CRS2025 To mark the event, we’ve put together a free-to-view reading list of 10 key articles from Third World Quarterly and Conflict, Security & Development journals. 🔗 buff.ly/9dzGRpj

We are off to a great start at #CRS2025! The workshop "The Research Flow" is exploring a framework for practicing scientific reflexivity in research. This afternoon we have more workshops on state formation and military responses.

Follow the conference over the coming days on @thecrs.bsky.social and under #CRS2025 😊 Check out @unikentpolir on Instagram for a special CRS social media takeover and live insights from the conference.

From Vancouver to Canterbury. Really looking forward to our @thecrs.bsky.social conference at the University of Kent from 17-19 Sep. It's been a great pleasure to be on the organising team again and we look forward to 200+ papers, panels, workshops, and high-level research/policy keynotes! 🎉#CRS2025

On Friday 12 Sep at 10am @consueloamat.bsky.social and I share new work on the varying logics of org. alliances in nonviolent resistance movements and their impact on prospects for democratization. Looking forward to 5 papers and our amazing discussants @Jess Braithwaite and @janakrause.bsky.social

Equally excited to share two projects that we are presenting for the first time. Come join us tomorrow 11 Sep 4:00pm for new data & analysis on the impact of rebel defection & co-membership on civilian victimization in conflict (new project w/ @ilaydaonder.bsky.social). 4-papers & great discussants!

Excited to be in Vancouver for #APSA2025. What a privilege to have our conference venues right on the Pacific Coast! @apsa.bsky.social

I have now started working as a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at the University of Osnabrück at the Chair of Alexander De Juan. I am looking forward to continuing my ongoing projects and starting new collaborations here. #PhDone

Thank you also to the Conflict & Change cluster and Department for providing an excellent research environment for my PhD. Thank you to @zbulutgil.bsky.social and @sabinecarey.bsky.social for engaging so closely with my work as the examiners.

After 3.5 years, I finished my PhD @uclspp.bsky.social earlier this month. 🙂🎉 Many thanks to my amazing supervisors @kristinmbakke.bsky.social, Nils Metternich, @payoub.bsky.social for being incredibly supportive and great mentors throughout!

Last week, I presented at my final Conflict & Change PhD Workshop @uclspp.bsky.social. Once again, ECRs from around the world shared their projects. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been involved as both an organizer and a presenter from the beginning of my PhD! Hope to come back someday. 🙂
