It is almost as if IR isn't particularly interested in Thucydides as much more than a legitimizing disciplinary device.

I'm appalled by the USDA's decision to pause funding to the University of Maine System. This will hurt our farmers, halt critical research, and impact students throughout Maine. Once again, our state is being targeted for retribution—all because our officials are standing up for the rule of law.

What an honor to receive the 2025 Susan Strange Award from @isanet.bsky.social. It is given in recognition of "a person whose singular intellect, assertiveness, and insight most challenge conventional wisdom and intellectual and organizational complacency in the international studies community."

“The liberal international order – which was never fully liberal, international, or orderly – is over. It is up to Europe to try to make something out of this moment.” Good piece from @profsaunders.bsky.social on this sad day.

So for today's attendance topic, I asked students about the pop culture thing that makes them feel old. This was terrible mistake on my part, because as it turns out, I have never once heard of anything that they mentioned.

Red pear, bacon, onion and gruyere pizza, garnished with scallions and smoked sea salt. When you live in the woods and don't have any good pizza joints nearby, you have to become your own pizzaria.
