- its so sad that no women in the whole world have ever written about nations and nationalism :(In my graduate seminar this week we focus on nations and national states. In addition to rereading three great works from the 1980s (top row), I am engaging with three post-2000 books by the macrosociologist Andreas Wimmer (bottom row).
- Hugely excited to announce that my first book, 'Blue Helmet Bureaucrats: United Nations Peacekeeping and the Reinvention of Colonialism, 1946-1971' is now under contract with Cambridge University Press for @samuelmoyn and Stefan-Ludwig Hoffmann's 'Human Rights in History' series!
- 🚨Everyone stop right now and read this article about LSE's appalling response to abusive prof. This has been YEARS in the making: 'Women silenced across ranks: LSE’s mishandled sexual misconduct investigation into professor'
- ✨v excited and surprised to find out that my book - Blue Helmet Bureaucrats: United Nations Peacekeeping and the Reinvention of Colonialism, 1945-1971 (@cambUP_History) - has been shortlisted for the @RoyalHistSoc 2024 Gladstone Book Prize✨
- Honestly the whole of my PhD has been worth it to discover the UN officials’ glee when they discovered that, for a couple of hours, the Katangan ministry of the interior was fucked over by a massive swarm of bees. Every archive I’ve seen mentions the Bee Incident at least once.
- My book 'Blue Helmet Bureaucrats' will be published by CUP in June 2023! I'll be organising a book launch in Bristol soon, but I would also love to travel/zoom to talk about it. Please get in touch if you run a seminar/talk series so we can make it happen! cambridge.org/gb/academic/su…
- Can’t recommend this book enough. One of the few academic works that I’ve read cover to cover. Has prompted so many thoughts about global governance & race. Now to figure out how my own work builds on this timeline. Many thanks to @DrDuncanBell for such a wonderful contribution!
- some career news: in september I’ll be joining @Cityintpolitics as a Lecturer in Foreign Policy and Security!! i can’t wait to be part of such an exciting department - one that’s at the forefront of research on internationalism and global orders 🌎🌍🌏
- Replying to @MargotTudorSPOT ON criticism from incredible scholar @TaylorCSherman: 'The complaint system [at LSE] seems to be set up to protect the faculty, and does not just let these abuses happen, but discriminates against the people who complain.'
- i start my first perm lecturer position next monday at City. super excited but want to put some sustainable aims in place to prevent burnout. what are some key tips/practices you wish you’d heard before you started your academic job?
- My article ‘Gatekeepers to Decolonisation’ with @JContHist is one hit away from 1000 views. Give it a read if you’re interested in decolonisation, international organisations, and the racial hierarchies in the field that shaped who ‘deserved’ self-determination in the 1960s ⚖️
- Shattered but this afternoon I passed my PhD viva!! Endless thanks to @MTerretta and @TaitheModern for examining my thesis and being so lovely. Couldn’t have done it without the wonderful @Hist_HumbertLau and @RoisinRead 🥰 She’s a doctor.
