Sad news about the passing of Bonnie Greer. When I worked at Kingston University, I remember she gave a wonderful graduation speech. It celebrated post-92 universities in their own right - rich with worldliness, aspiration and community across race and class. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s...

Kicking it off in budget airline style for #EWIS2025. Looking forward to being in Krakow for the first time since 1999.

Sad to hear about the passing of Jimmy Carter…as US Presidents go, a genuinely decent guy. Sorely underrated for his foreign policy and a pioneer of human rights diplomacy. (Back when human rights were an aspirational thing of course…) www.bbc.com/news/article...

Obituary: Former US President Jimmy Carter
The US president struggled in the White House and served just one term, but later won a Nobel Peace prize.

Sad news about the passing of Johan Galtung. So important in transforming our understanding of peace and violence, and very significant influence on my thinking right up to now. Love introducing my Critical Military Studies students to his work. #PeaceStudies #IR www.prio.org/news/3505

Johan Galtung passed away this morning. He was born in 1930 on 24 October, the same day that 15 years later would see the founding of the United Nations.

Can you separate the art from the artist, when the art and the artist have caused so much suffering? Always difficult to reconcile my finding books by #Kissinger interesting (even enjoyable) and his atrocious disregard for human life. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-u...

Oddly, given that the performance bar is so low, appointing a failed (but less atrociously unpopular) former PM could potentially work for them.

Wow, the man responsible for the UK’s worst foreign policy disaster of the 21st Century, appointed as Foreign Secretary. There really is a talent vacuum… #UKForeignPolicy #Brexit
