New paper out in @risjnl.bsky.social! 🚨

I explore the everyday foundations of structural power in the international system and advance a new theoretical framework that reconceptualizes the state as a mediator between the two levels.

Luke and I wrote a paper!

Two years ago, the Sycamore Gap Tree was cut down in the dead of night. Responses to this "act of vandalism" made us think about the role of nature in ontic space, and dualism between human and non/human allows for destruction of nature.

I am really excited to share my new article at @jisb.bsky.social
