Special shout-out to @AdriMandacaru (the last survivor here) and the rest of our panelists!
Looking forward to a great discussion

[Adrian Calmettes @AdrianCalmettes]

On Monday at #ISA2025 I talk about how the design of (cloud) computing infrastructures shapes the organizational infrastructures of the UN. And on Wednesday, we discuss the contribution of @digital_objects philosophy of technology to International Relations theory

Never read the harrowing account of writing the first 3 Southern Reach novels, over at @TheAtlantic? Now's a good time to catch up, w/ the 10-year anniversary editions out and a fourth novel, Absolution, on October 22. @mcdbooks @fsgbooks @PicadorUSA

What James Scott (RIP) had to say about scholarly reading practices deeply affected how I think about academia to this day:

@AdrianCalmettes @digital_objects Please share widely and reach out if interested in this topic in IR more generally, beyond just this panel! @STAIRISA @TheorySectISA @INTPOLITSOCIO as anticipated sections, @AdriMandacaru @carolinaaguerre @isanet

[Jon Hui @jhming89]

🎈IR & Theory folks: @AdrianCalmettes and I are planning a #isa2025 panel on relations of technology and political universalism, drawing on @digital_objects concept of cosmotechnics. If you're interested in acting as discussant or contributing a paper, please get in touch!

Primatologist Frans de Waal (1948–2024) "spent his career, as both a scientist and an award-winning science writer, shrinking the distance between humans and animals."

Happy to announce that my next monograph will be published by the University of Minnesota Press in Fall 2024. It is the third and the last of the trilogy starting with Recursivity and Contingency.

@XiaoAlvinYang @gloria_novovic There's the concept of 'polycrisis' that's gained traction lately, might be interesting seeing what theories and evidence used by those writing from that framework. From my understanding, multiple interacting crises invites less solutions, more experimenting with policy trials.

#ISA2024 I've a couple papers looking for a home on panel proposals relating to culture and technology:
1) Sinophone intellectuals and how technics inform their view of political action
2) Relational/@GIRS_ISA Global IR and theorizing technological relations
DM me if interested!

@Ninawth @wendyhwong @TakumiShibaike @ISAICOMM @ESS_of_ISA @IO_Outreach @IO_Section_ISA Hi @Ninawth, I have a paper to share on technological thinking and Sinophone intellectuals, if that might be relevant and there's still space. Happy to email an abstract :)

"We are all connected through our stories"
CPD is hoping to curate one or more roundtables for #ISA2024 specifically inspired by L.H.M. (Lily) Ling's work to de-centre ‘Westphalian’ hegemony in the production of knowledge and the making of world politics. See below for details:

To understand Chinese politics in long duree, a good place to start is sociologist Dingxin Zhao’s The Confucian-Legalist State: A New Theory of Chinese History (Oxford 2018). Our scholarly collective, @THiS_TheHisSoc, is to hold a panel discussion on Nov 20 at 8pm (ET), 1/3

[Ingrid H. Kvangraven @ingridharvold]

Our paper on decolonizing economics teaching is finally out!

@SurbhiKesar & I surveyed 498 economists to evaluate possibilities and challenges associated with efforts to decolonize economics.

As you may imagine, the results are not super encouraging...🧵
