1/ I am so grateful this paper is out in @European_Sec! This project started 6(!) years ago when I was a master’s student in Strasbourg and benefitted from so many comments, suggestions, and edits from friends and colleagues in @EdinburghPIR, @UPOlomouc, @UU_University & Beyond.
Hopping back onto X to mark this monumental day: After almost 20 years, we are finally free of Grant Shapps/Michael Green/Corrine Stockheath/Sebastian Fox. Much love to my fellow WelHat voters who ousted that muppet ❤️
New publication! In my article in @FPA_Jrnl I ask the often overlooked question of why leaders prefer either securitization or desecuritization. My findings suggest that psychological variables play a crucial role in the initiation of these processes. 1/3 https://t.co/CdDLXigTTF
ISA colleagues: check out this initiative, and the roundtable this Saturday (SD17) ‘Racial Hierarchies and Accountability: The Place of Palestine in the International’ 👇
Fantastic seminar today by Prof. Guno Jones on the importance of decolonial research in the Netherlands. We need to have this discussion now more than ever, given the current climate.
Doing a PhD in the UK means at some point writing something about Brexit. So I did!
First conference paper, first publication, first time crying over semicolons. And it's not even open access.
Anyway, enjoy😅

Last day of @europeanisa #EWIS2023. Great few days in Amsterdam w/the brilliant participants in the Postcolonial Hierarchies in World Politics workshop, brought together by @siddharthtrip09 & Anna Goll @postcolh22 (couldn't tag @tanixchel, @franciscamreina, @DrMAshfaq__ & others)
The salary of a PhD student in many European countries is now higher than the typical starting salary of a UK lecturer, with a postdoc in Europe often surpassing a UK lecturer salary. Meanwhile, some top UK depts now require a published monograph for entry-level positions (1/2)
An observation since coming to the Netherlands is the widespread imperial amnesia. I’m so confused by the amount of people surprised that I research Dutch imperial nationalism, considering their previous PM called for the renewal of a ‘VOC-mentaliteit’.
I am a dutch, widowed parent, of a British child. I live in the UK on a parent visa and my daughter is happily growing up here, near my late wife's family and our friends.
Last week @ukhomeoffice cancelled my right to be here. In error.
A thread to put the record straight.
2nd conference of the week! Very interesting discussions about democratic accountability and civic participation at the @ISGA_Hague’s ‘Counter and Counterpower in Democracy’ today.
