    I mean, I love and want to connect with and learn from you all but this is 100% what I miss about academic conferences tbh.

    I just want to sit in a quiet hotel room alone with takeout and reality tv.

    This is a terrific piece by two brilliant researchers - well worth bookmarking. Stay tuned for more content from the special collections and (- and! -) a collection of previous articles on WPS temporarily ungated by the kind folks at T&F HQ.

    Very happy to see this 'conversation' published as part of the special issue on (written with )! In it, we reflect on the 'local' and how it appears in our respective work on Women, Peace and Security in the UK + Iraq

    Will be interested to see the text of this resolution when it gets up as it is not a WPS resolution but is certainly WPS-adjacent. (Also I missed the fact that WPS language was taken out of the PRST on peacekeeping operations in May - ping .)

    “How do you adjust to an ever-changing situation where the ‘new normal’ is indefinite uncertainty?”. I have asked a version of this question in every conversation I've had with my therapist since March. Great essay with some practical suggestions at the very end.
