Spent two weeks reflecting on ways to embrace a more transformative water diplomacy and how to decolonise my own research. In these dark times, it was refreshing to find community among those committed to the cause. Grateful to IHE Delft for the opportunity! 💧🕊️

Just wrapped up a research trip to the French colonial archives in Aix-en-Provence. So grateful to the staff for their generosity with both time and expertise. I’ll have to find my way back there sometime soon! 👨🏻💻 🗃️

After nearly 7 years, my time with the U.S. Institute of Peace has come to an end. USIP’s legacy can't be erased by shutting down a website, taking over a building, or laying off its people. Our struggle for peace with justice continues, and we won't go gentle into that good night. Onwards!
