On my way to #EISA2025 in Bologna ✈️ Excited to share work, join great discussions & see old + new friends!

Joining “Teaching Concepts in IR” & “Decoding the ‘New Cold War’.” The latter kicks off a bigger project, bringing different perspectives on the Cold War together. More soon, watch this space👀

The tech war is not just any arena of bilateral competition; it’s about how societies imagine themselves and their futures.
We need a more nuanced view of tech’s cultural, social, and political role in great power rivalry.

I show how "sociotechnical imaginaries"—shared visions of past, present, and future and technologies' role in it—shape U.S. discourse, linking tech’s risks to rivals to justify a security-driven agenda.
