Three years (!!) to finally release this Special Issue in the Jnl of Refugee Studies, of which I am immensely proud. We wrestle with concepts of space, bordering and activism. Worth the wait? U decide! @kimrygiel.bsky.social @eolivius.bsky.social @suzan-ilcan.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jrs/issue

Very honored to receive the EJPG 2023 Best Article Award together with @hedstrom.bsky.social and Zin Mar Phyo! In this piece we tried to theorize feminist peace, and show how the WPS agenda can be manipulated by illiberal regimes to marginalize critical voices. Thank you @ejpgjournal.bsky.social 😍🎉

Really pleased to receive a Swedish Research Council grant with @malinakebo.bsky.social to continue our research on women's rights and women's activism in hybrid or authoritarian peacebuilding contexts. Now with a stronger focus on how states mobilize women's rights norms for their own agendas!

New policy brief with @hedstrom.bsky.social and Zin Mar Phyo! Here we summarize findings from our research on the politics and effects of int gender expertise in Myanmar. Our findings show that int gender expertise frequently shaped peacebuilding in ways that reinforced existing inequalities. How?

One of the highlights of my academic career - being cited in a Cynthia Enloe book! 😍 with @hedstrom.bsky.social! In comparison receiving a rejection from a main Swedish research funder today is totally fine! 😄 See note 74 below! And the cited, open access book here: www.niaspress.dk/book/waves-o...
