What better way to learn about migration politics than a pub quiz. My brilliant colleague @patnabuco.bsky.social and the @migrationmatters.bsky.social festival hosted a great pub quiz that both entertained and educated us.

📣Call for abstracts 📣 If you do Critical Security/Terrorism Studies, join our #EISAPEC26 section. We welcome papers, panels, or roundtables. Feel free to get in touch with either myself or @marinegueguin.bsky.social if you have any queries. Deadline is 19 Feb. eisa-net.org/abstract-sub...

This section showcases research that critically analyses the politics of (counter)terrorism and security. We invite papers, panels, and roundtables covering intersectional critiques of international and domestic counter-terrorism policies, critical knowledge production, and methodological innovations and challenges in critical research.

In addition to this, we welcome contributions looking at the practicalities of critically researching terrorism, safeguarding issues for both the researchers and their subjects, the challenges of publishing critical work, and communicating with mainstream audiences.

We will also provide space to focus on academic freedom and discuss how scholars can undertake research-led teaching and bring criticality into the classroom. Given the attacks on academic freedom, especially on scholars involved in Palestine solidarity work, we must also address the need to embody the ethos of scholar-activism in the current climate and discuss how critical research and activism can survive in the neoliberal academy.

If you have any questions about this section, please get in touch with us:
