🚨 The Junta is using census data collection & guest registrations to track down urban dissidents. They now use the #census as a shield to knock on any door, arresting activists to silence opposition ahead of their sham election. #Myanmar

Who can write IR theory? If one is from any country in the Global South, the academy expects that you are *only* an expert on that region. The freedom of picking any region in the world to study is limited to only one demographic of scholars: those from the U.S. @ISAnet
🚨 New piece out in the @IntlStudiesRev! I discuss the different barriers that junior international scholars face to participate in knowledge production. This includes epistemological biases and barriers, citizenship/visa issues, & financial obstacles. academic.oup.com/isr/article…
