Excited to share a very interesting conversation on nostalgia and its role in driving different cycles of conflict. We drew especially on our varied experiences working in Northern Ireland, Colombia, and Lebanon.

New article alert with Dr Thia Sagherian-Dickey @coco-journal.bsky.social! We examine how children are raised in protracted conflict, how it offers civilians agency in transmitting protective strategies, and pathways (and pitfalls) to conflict transformation. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Our research university leaders are totally failing us in the authoritarian moment. Not even trying to loudly & publicly defend the project of academia or the institutions. Just choosing a combination of “keep our heads down” & anticipatory compliance. Shamefully inadequate to the moment.

Kicking off 2025 with a new paper from the eternally-absent-from-social-media but wonderful coauthor Jose Gutierrez! In this paper we explore how communities in rural Colombia used their experiences of rebel order to evaluate and renegotiate the entry of new armed groups.

1. Here's why I'll never use AI to assist my research or writing: A. I don't want to know exactly what I'm looking for. I mean that when I start researching a topic, I want to remain open to its contradictions and paradoxes, and to the unexpected paths that might lead off it. 🧵

Inaugural post: I'm pleased to present my new article "The Fog of War" where I examine how conflict narratives, often used by elites, mislead or undermine efforts to identify developmental violence and suppression against civilians.
