New blog post from the 25th Anniversary Conference: the second entry in my “old man yelling at stuff” series.
I tell young people to put down the AIs (for a moment) and talk to each other. Innovation matters, but without human connection, there’s no real public diplomacy.

It was a pleasure to be a part of this project. It gave me a chance to actually empirically test a couple of theoretical arguments both in city diplomacy and digital diplomacy.
Looking forward to reading all the contributions.

I wonder how awkward it would be if I start a crowdsourcing campaign to attend this conference...
I am okay with medium levels of awkwardness, and with high levels if I get to fly business.

Alright, it is that time of the year with #academic #jobmarket. As I am spending my Saturday night going through job applications, let me share some of my wisdom.
Please note that my wisdom is fueled by Saturday-night-working rage and some bourbon.
