not sure if it is AI or just lack of attention, but students have incorrectly cited a chapter I wrote so far as by S. Comstock, M. Comstock, being a journal article in Law&Policy (& there were even made up page#s!), being published by Oxford Univ Press (was CUP),& being published in 2002 & 2006

I never learn - working on my annual review submission on the last day. Turns out I prefer researching, teaching, and committee work to writing about my researching, teaching, and committee work and entering it into a clunky system

For Grad IL/IO class this week the theme was why states work (and don't work) through IOs. Always relevant sometimes depressing

What is your favorite final assignment type to assign? For my intro to human rights class, I've had them do reserach projects/posters for the last couple of years and I like that. Some one asked if they could submit a poem instead. I did not like that.

Bluesky academics, lets get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about 1. punishment/accountability re: peacekeeper SEA 2. persistent objectors IL & peace/conflict around Olympic events

HR folks (esp if IL, Gender, migration- focused). send me a message! ASU Global Human Rights Hub has different working groups and virtual talks throughout the year. Previously, I've used it as a way to highlight jr candidates on the market, but I'm open to thinking!

Great first day of classes with Intro to Human Rights & Current Events in IR. That was fun. Meetings for 2 different committees I'm on - good. Then was appointed to chair a search committee (4th SC pre-tenure). Unexpected. But will share that line/advert whenever I can!

Last day for my January to-do list. Important deadlines met. Articles at various stages advanced. Interesting collaborations moving forward. Most reviews returned. ISA paper writing will have to wait until Feb, but at least the data is analyzed :) Not too shabby.
