One year since the publication of my first article!

Still proud of this, and happy that people read and engaged with it. Also, still can't believe I was invited to Zaragoza to present to the PRISMA conference about this topic.

Last week, I attended the TUC LGBT+ Workers’ Conference 2025 in London, a key event in my year. The conference passed motions defending trans rights against rising transphobia and combating the far right. It’s vital the trades union movement sees LGBT+ liberation as a key to the workers’ movement.

My presentation, titled ‘Queering International Relations, Queering Disciplinarity’ examined the ways in which queer theory and writing on queer IR can change the ways in which we do IR.

Amazing to have run such a good workshop with @erinmcnally.bsky.social surrounding interdisciplinarity within International Relations. We heard from some amazing PGRs within the department, talking all about how their research relates to the ways in which we define the discipline of IR.

It has been amazing working on these two events with @erinmcnally.bsky.social around disciplinarity within International Relations. We will be exploring disciplinary dilemmas in IR, and how postgraduate research in the department can help to define IR. Excited for the workshop and mixer in May!

2024 you were amazing, from publishing my first article to running a workshop at an international conference. I’m honestly proud of what I’ve achieved this year. Thank you to everyone that helped make this year special and gay

Happy new year, and here’s to me actually finishing the PhD in 2025 x 🤞
