On my way to #EISA2025 in Bologna ✈️ Excited to share work, join great discussions & see old + new friends! Joining “Teaching Concepts in IR” & “Decoding the ‘New Cold War’.” The latter kicks off a bigger project, bringing different perspectives on the Cold War together. More soon, watch this space👀
