Big thank you to @drjoehoover.bsky.social and @theorylab.bsky.social for inviting me to present my paper on Inequality, precarity, and domination in 'left behind' communities as part of their work in progress seminar series. Some great feedback to think about on the train back north...

Self-promotion for a first post, not the best look. But special issue on Global Crises and Utopian Hope at Journal of International Political Theory is full of good stuff, edited by Patrick Hayden and Chamsy el-Ojeili. journals.sagepub.com/toc/iptb/21/3
Last week, inspired by @ldfreedman.bsky.social's "Hennessy Lecture", we explored the foreign and domestic policy implications of Britain's support for Ukraine.
