A reminder for those so inclined to sign up the below - it looks to be a fabulous day and valuable for any ECRs who struggle to know how to make their theory more grant-able/grant-friendly! (note room shift to Arts Two 2.1&)

@ElkeSchwarz of @QMUL joins us now, talking about the use of AI in warfare. Flash Wars are one of the biggest areas of concern in warfare – AI escalating things until we reach a point of war without humans having the opportunity to intervene. 📷: Paul Wilkinson #XmasLectures

Yessss: @StoffelAlex and I have a new paper out with @EuroJournIR. We argue that critical scholarship fetishises marginalised groups, mystifying the social relations that shape the material conditions of their lives, histories, and politics. Open access: bit.ly/3WHLlvx

A fascinating @Theory_LAB talk where @CAPASHeidelberg Fellow @robertekirsch laid out the pervasive logic of bunkering. Lots of food for thought on the logic of permanent panic and suspicion
