Today's "I wish I'd written that" is Savage Ecology by Jairus Victor Grove. Compelling, complex but really readable, serious and theoretically innovative... But also, made me laugh. War, technology, Ecology, the future, destruction, hope?

Delighted to announce (in true LinkedIn style) that I have been offered a Leverhulme Research Leadership Award for nearly £1m to research "Technology and the (future) Human in War". 2026 is going to be a busy one! SO many thanks to those lovely humans who supported the bid :)

Today's "I wish I had written that" is "Experimentation in humanitarian locations: UNCHR and biometric registration of Afghan refugees" by Katja Lindskov Jacobsen. Particularly love the clear and accessible analysis of STS contribution to IR. Definitely recommend!

Today I've been enjoying a thought provoking article from geography. "Algorithmic epistemologies and methodologies: Algorithmic harm, algorithmic care and situated algorithmic knowledges" by @sophiamaalsen.bsky.social Has definitely challenged me to think differently. Would recommend!

‘Russia is targeting us deliberately’: how attacks on maternity hospitals fuelled a birth-rate crisis in Ukraine The Guardian has visited three frontline hospitals to hear from women who say they have been left fearful of childbirth after more than 80 attacks on maternity units since Russia’s full-scale invasion

We cannot stop talking about this: attacks on maternity units Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan...are deliberate tactics of conflict that target civilians.

I argue this in Sick of It - politicians decry some cases (Ukraine), ignore others, but can't claim not to know.

Given the subject matter I am not sure this counts as an 'article I wish I had written' but it most certainly one which we should read: 'The body weaponized: War, sexual violence and the uncanny' by @paulcinnamon.bsky.social‬
