Let's be clear: Israel's attack on Iran is not simply a violation of the UN Charter. It is a manifest violation of it. Few acts are more unequivocally illegal than preventive (non-imminent) self-defence. So Israel's attack is both unlawful and criminal -- the crime of aggression.

The annihilation of the Palestinian people on our watch. Anyone with a conscience, this is unconscionable.

I find Jairus Grove's 'Savage Ecology' (2019) unsettling yet oddly soothing to read. Especially this passage:

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

The forthcoming Oxford Handbook of International Political Sociology, edited by Stacie Goddard, @georgelawson.bsky.social, and @olejacobsending.bsky.social, looks great. Including some exciting #HistIR contributions 👇

Alex and I wrote a @foreignaffairs.com article that contained a fairly lengthy rant about how the DC foreign-policy establishment was whistling past the graveyard. Most of it wound up getting cut. But not this part 👇

Just turned in my last exam paper on my MSc - one of the most invigorating writing experiences I have had so far. It explores cannibalism in Brazilian modernism and its possible uses as concept in IR and beyond. Here is the title and the epigraph (from Juan José Saer's 'The Witness'). #HistIR

This week the advanced IR theory course for undergraduate Political Science students at University of Copenhagen begins! And I happily get to be Teaching Assistant running once-a-week tutorials. Teaching wisdom, pedagogical tips, memories from first encounters with IR theory, etc. much appreciated!

I am astonished, grateful, and proud to be the recipient of the @lseir.bsky.social Martin Wight Dissertation Prize for my MSc International (Research) dissertation on imperial domination and its resistance on St. Croix during its time as a Danish colony. Read more on the link below!

About time for an introduction in here! I am an MSc student at the University of Copenhagen studying International Relations(IR). I am especially interested in historical IR, Global Historical Sociology, (Danish) imperialism, plantations, and environmental crises.
