In tribute to Emma Hutchison @risjnl.bsky.social has curated a collection celebrating the impact of her work. This includes her RIS article alongside 8 other pieces inspired by her ideas.

Emma’s research on emotions in IR shaped an entire generation of scholarship.

Choosing to walk AI writing tools, labour, and my only writing advice

It attempts to separate the mythology of writing from the work of writing, as though the quotidian labour of expression is something that keeps you from your ideas rather than the exact process by which you discover them. internetprincess.substack.com/p/choosing-t...

You love to see it.

Exec salaries & uni governance both need urgent reform.

And well done to the union for their report, yet again showing their value.

[perhaps some of the free riders who like pay rises that come from union bargaining, but don't like paying annual union dues, will now do so?]

Union report out today finds:

- 306 senior uni execs earn more than their state premiers
- average Vice Chancellor salary over $1 million
