It was an honor being in conversation with the Community of Practice on Men, Masculinities, and Peace, spearheaded by WILFP's Mobilizing Men for Feminist Peace, Pax Netherlands, and the VIP Lab at USD. Alongside Ray Acheson and Germán Otálora-Gallego, and moderated by Henri Myrttinen…

What a way to kick off my first BISA conference. Cynthia Enloe speaking on masculinities, militarization, disposability, and feminist resistance. Moderated by the incomparable Marsha Henry.

Spring quarter grades are submitted and I’m feeling super inspired by the students in my Peace in International Relations seminar. Their intellectual curiosity, compassion, and creativity transformed our classroom into something truly special 🧵
