My article, “Crisis and disorder in the liberal international order of White sovereignty,” has now been published in International Relations. In it I explore how discourses of ’crisis’ in the liberal order expose a subterranean investment in colonial-racial hierarchies. doi.org/10.1177/0047...

#OpenAccess from our new issue - Negotiating racial subjection: analysing Black and Indigenous resistance from within colonial orders - cup.org/3F8FkmN - @obrown.bsky.social & @arturochang.bsky.social

Very excited to see our article out in @internatltheory.bsky.social. In this article, @arturochang.bsky.social and I argue for the importance of tackling questions of agency and resistance from within colonial-racial orders through an examination of Black Loyalist and Indigenous royalist movements.

Very happy to see this article out at @internatltheory.bsky.social. @obrown.bsky.social and I draw on archival research to examine how Black and Indigenous royalists negotiated their standing from within colonial orders. Many thanks to the editorial team for a very constructive process!

A great new article by @obrown.bsky.social and @arturochang.bsky.social examining political agency and resistance against racial hierarchy within imperial and colonial orders, questioning conventional binaries of revolution and reform, emancipation and subjection, neo- and anti-colonial politics.

I am excited to share that I’ll be joining @uarkansas.bsky.social in the fall as Assistant Professor of International Organizations and Norms. Looking forward to working alongside a great group of scholars in the Political Science Department!

How can we remember and confront the legacies of scientific racism and eugenics? I wrote a review about the new exhibition “Science and Injustice” of the Memorial Site Ihnestraße at the FU Berlin and its community-based participatory process: anthropologyofglobalinequalities.com/2024/11/28/a...

Happy to share that my essay “The International Order of White Sovereignty and the Prospect of Abolition” is now out in Ethics & International Affairs. In it I argue that racialisation in the international order means we need to take seriously global calls for abolition. doi.org/10.1017/S089...

Also, can people please stop claiming that marginalised people and communities demanding (or “grabbing”) power from those who hold it unjustly is a bad thing? Maybe power is necessary to do “social justice”.
