A very exciting launch yesterday! Many thanks to all @UniofOxford and @NuffieldCollege for their help, and to @ValerieAmos for her expert chairing! "Aid Agencies debate legacy, legitimacy and look to the future at Oxford conference | University of Oxford" https://t.co/LQEIcmxaJf

Still time to register for this event, which now has over 100 participants 👏 I shall be doing my best to explain why I doubt lessons have really been learned from #Afghanistan from a humanitarian perspective. @SurreyPolitics@cii_surrey

Organisational archives like this will allow researchers to understand how civil society has driven intervention - for good, and ill. https://t.co/maoVFb3hjz
Looking forward to this Zoom event to launch the newly catalogued @savechildrenuk Archive @CadburyRL @unibirmingham The project team have done a fantastic job despite all the obvious pandemic constraints, and the Archive constitutes a major resource for researchers. Come and see!
I worked on the same paper as Johnson for 12 years - and, take it from me, it’s best to start off with the assumption he’s a selfish, lying, useless pillock. It saves a lot of time.
Watching the news tonight it is quite obvious that the test and trace system, that the govt has put its faith in, is working very well with two exceptions.
1. Test
2. Trace.
The thing I really like about this course is the skills-based masterclasses with great practitioners including @MikeAaronson, Susan Scholefield and Jamie Shea. Plus the intervention simulations by me are not too shabby IIDSSM
Imagine the type of academic culture you're creating when one of the top universities in the UK are only willing to give you board & food in return for your research.
At best, it's academic serfdom. At worst, it's a statement about who should, and who shouldn't be in academia.
Meet the MSc IR team to learn about the course, including our International Intervention pathway and hybrid learning approach for 2020-21. @SurreyCbe@SmaSurrey@ameliahadfield1

Fantastic work by everyone @SurreyPolitics sees us climb 65 places in the NSS results. By my reckoning that's 5th of the pre-92 departments: a great place to study!
Balanced analysis of @foreignoffice and @DFID_UK merger from someone who knows both well, my @cii_surrey colleague @MikeAaronson. He’s (typically) more fair-minded than me, I think it is terrible for UK diplomacy, soft power and international development. https://t.co/G6rIKf36rB
