An image with a photo of, and quote from, Emma Hutchinson Text reads: 'Special Collection: Honouring Emma Hutchinson's Legacy Few phenomena in world politics are as central yet as under-explored as are trauma and emotions. Associate Professor Emma Hutchinson'
In tribute to Emma Hutchison @risjnl.bsky.social has curated a collection celebrating the impact of her work. This includes her RIS article alongside 8 other pieces inspired by her ideas.
Emma’s research on emotions in IR shaped an entire generation of scholarship.

It attempts to separate the mythology of writing from the work of writing, as though the quotidian labour of expression is something that keeps you from your ideas rather than the exact process by which you discover them. internetprincess.substack.com/p/choosing-t...

"Israel has forcibly displaced 90% of Gaza’s 2.2 million inhabitants ... multiple times, into ever-shrinking, ever-changing pockets of land that lacked basic infrastructure, forcing people to live in conditions that exposed them to a slow and calculated death" www.amnesty.org.uk/genocide-rep...
Thank you for this. Would you add my name?
You love to see it.
Exec salaries & uni governance both need urgent reform.
And well done to the union for their report, yet again showing their value.
[perhaps some of the free riders who like pay rises that come from union bargaining, but don't like paying annual union dues, will now do so?]
In case you missed it, we made this critical border studies starter pack last week. There have been quite a few additions since then but still some space. Let @arijerrems.bsky.social know if you'd like to be added go.bsky.app/TxsUGAN

Would you also add me? Thanks
Union report out today finds:
- 306 senior uni execs earn more than their state premiers
- average Vice Chancellor salary over $1 million
- Unis spent $734 million in 2023 on "consulting” etc
Meantime, we're constantly told by execs we have to cut spending

Finally an explanation...
A bit about the Australian Critical Border Studies Network for the benefit of our new followers. We are a bit of an academic garage band convened by @arijerrems.bsky.social @umutozguc.bsky.social @kayatbarry.bsky.social and Andrew Burridge. The last few years we've organised a bunch of stuff... 1/6
I missed it, thanks for sharing Roland.
Following the trend we have started a Critical Border Studies starter pack. Reply to this if you would like to be added or have suggestions go.bsky.app/TxsUGAN
“To be truly meaningful, [decolonisation] has to be about critiquing power and knowledge, exploring how power is constituted in knowledge, and how that enables structures of domination to be upheld.” Interview with our amazing UQ colleague Heloise Weber.
