Can defence innovation succeed without putting people first? In this #DefenceinDepth article ‪@tarazammit.bsky.social‬ questions whether the UK’s newly released #StrategicDefenceReview side-lines personnel and culture in favour of tech-driven priorities. Read it here: www.kcl.ac.uk/the-strategi...

The Strategic Defence Review: Innovation Without the People?

In this Defence in Depth article, Tara Zammit questions whether the Strategic Defence Review delivers meaningful innovation—or overlooks the people and culture needed to sustain it.

Excited to be back in Cambridge (thankfully not to do any assignments this time…) for the Centre for Military Women’s Research Conference at @angliaruskin.bsky.social 📚 The theme is military women’s health & well-being - a topic close to my heart & I’m really looking forward to the presentations 👏

🌊 I’m very excited to have been accepted into the @congeostrategy.bsky.social’s Maritime Leaders Programme, part of their #SeaPowerLaboratory! Yesterday was a great start to the programme feat. a panel on policymaking and a policy workshop on defence spending. Looking forward to the next session 📚

Council on Geostrategy@congeostrategy.bsky.social · last yr.

Yesterday, we hosted the first Maritime Leaders' Programme event at The Army and Navy Club! ⚓ We were delighted to be joined by @c21st-sailor.bsky.social, Associate Director, #SeaPowerLaboratory, Baroness Stuart, @houseoflords.parliament.uk, and James Waller, @houseofcommons.parliament.uk

📣 Get those abstracts in! This is going to be a great opportunity to learn about successful publishing strategies in the field of War and Security Studies. We can't wait to hear from you and to see everyone at #BISA2025 in Belfast soon ⏰ @warstudieskcl.bsky.social @defenceresnet.bsky.social

Huge thanks to the Women's Inclusive Network DE&S for inviting me to speak as part of their #IWD programme! 👏 My talk 'Making Defence Work for Women' focused on topics like the importance of exploring policy versus practice & empathy as a moral & operational imperative 📣 @warstudieskcl.bsky.social

Great to be back @rusi.bsky.social for the annual RUSI-EDG Debate 🎤 Even better to get a bit of respite and watch this year rather than taking part!! Good luck to the teams 👏

@bisawarstudies.bsky.social announced their #BISA2025 keynote speaker! Esteemed Professor Michael Cox will deliver a keynote titled ‘Belfast Days: Teaching War - Living Peace, 1972-1995’. 👉 www.bisa.ac.uk/news/bisa202... @lseir.bsky.social @jamespattonrogers.bsky.social @patrickbury.bsky.social

"Gender equity isn't just a matter for a few passionate women to address. It's a matter of knowledge" - Frida Linehagen I had a fantastic time chairing today's panel b/w Women in #Defence UK & Femme Defence on pursuing #genderequity across defence. Huge thanks to our panellists for their insights 👏

Reporting for duty 🫡 Here’s a starter kit with PhD and ECR voices on all things strategic studies/ security studies, without a specific geographic scope. I’m still building it, so if you know PhDs/ ECRs actively posting (or are one), tag them or drop me a line. go.bsky.app/LZVjKTP

After being obsessed with this subject for ages, to find my name listed here was such a fantastic surprise! If you're interested in #ontologicalsecurity and #insecurity, check out the starter pack below 👇

Following the recent trend on Bluesky and in the hope that more of us will soon join the "good place," I’ve created a starter pack for those studying ontological (in)security in global politics 🤓 go.bsky.app/9v5z4jX
