IRRJ boosted:

Excited to share that my paper on Emancipatory IR has been published by @IRRJ. I wrote this piece as a provocation for the IR community to recognize information access as profoundly political and situate our work in resistance to oppression and injustice.
https://irrj.org/article/view/24531

Illustrating the practices, projects, and provocations of emancipatory IR. The hexagons at the center represent several potential projects. The empty hexagons indicate that the set of mentioned projects are not complete, and the community should over time identify new ones and shape existing ones, as appropriate. Sur-rounding the projects is the framework of practices of emancipatory IR that are relevant to all projects in this area, consisting of (i) diagnose and critique, (ii)imagine viable alternative futures, and (iii) elaborate theories of change. Provo-cations to spark new ideas and research directions are depicted as a nudging hand.
