The annual Christmas quiz—bringing together staff and students and hosted by our fabulous Quiz Master, Matthew Mokhefi-Ashton—was once again great fun.

We are looking forward to welcoming Professor Claudia Aradau at NTU in February 2026 to talk about #security, #scandals, #genAI.

Assoc. Prof. Marianna Poberezhskaya co-organised the workshop “Climate Change Obstruction in Authoritarian and Non-Democratic States” at GWU’s Elliott School, supported by Brown’s Climate Social Science Network and GWU’s relevant research institutes.

Dr. Lesley Masters (NTU) & Dr. Lisa Otto (Uni of Johannesburg) led an international workshop on Building African Agency — exploring non-state actors in global environmental & socio-economic governance. With insights from Dr. Ana Nunes, @katkrulisova.bsky.social & Dr. Marianna Poberezhskaya.

Our department staff had a fantastic time connecting with colleagues from the Institute of European Studies and International Relations @comeniusuni.bsky.social during a recent research speed networking event.
