Just finished reading "Republic of Wrath" by James A Morone It was an eye opening read that deftly linked immigration and racism to the polarized state of US Politics today. A must read if you want to know how the divisions we see today were centuries in the making.

Attended a fantastic talk at @aiianational.bsky.social on #Empathy in politics by Dr @claireyorke.bsky.social from Deakin University. She argued that you cannot have a pluralistic society without empathy. Pre-order her book "Empathy in Politics and Leadership" at www.readings.com.au/product/9780...

I just finished reading When Women Were Dragons by @kellybarnhill.bsky.social It's exquisite, powerful, and fierce. It also gave me intense hope that things can get better. Cannot recommend enough!

Honoured to be a part of this amazing panel on R2P at #ISA2025. I would say the general outlook is cautiously optimistic, and there is still more work to be done with #R2P @gr2p.bsky.social @charliehunt.bsky.social

Thank you so much for sharing Roland. I didn't have the privilege of knowing Emma well, but your tribute to her paints the picture of an incredible woman, scholar, and partner. I'm keeping you in my thoughts.

I loved this book. It so clearly articulated what I knew but could not put into words myself. The first step to fighting something is to define it, which is what @katemanne.bsky.social with misogyny in this book
