My contribution draws on materials from Belfast's 'peace wall' murals to argue for multimodal methodologies (assessment of visual, spatial, material sources) as a way to deepen politics' critical analysis. The article is available #openaccess here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… 🔓 /2

“Terrorism” is a harmful, colonial, racialised category which cannot be redeemed. So what’s the solution? Nothing short of abolition, as I argue in this article with Critical Studies on Terrorism! Read it here👇 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… #openaccess

This publication @RISjnl brings my work on @CivilWarPaths to a final close. It's been such a privilege working for @AShesterinina, and all the team. Anastasia is that rare thing in academia: someone who pours so much care and commitment into her collaborations with others. /1
Just out @RISjnl, this article w @MALivesey had a long & exciting journey. It builds on engagement w friends & colleagues in conflict & peace research community, @CivilWarPaths research team & Fellows. Some highlights👇 /1 @uniyorkpolitics @ShefUniPolitics doi.org/10.1017/S02602105240…

This article is testament to that care/commitment... The article had a difficult journey through peer review. But, throughout, @AShesterinina exuded calm, prescience, and good leadership. What an honour for me, that my first co-authored article was with Anastasia 🙏👏 /2
