It was my pleasure to organize the Hungarian Summit’s higher education track in Budapest with the participation of 7 American and 5 Hungarian universities.

Before she was the Queen of Rock and Roll, Tina Turner was a farmer’s daughter in Tennessee. As a child, she sang in the church choir before becoming one of the most successful recording artists of all time. In addition to being a once-in-a-generation talent that changed American music forever, Tina’s personal strength was remarkable. Overcoming adversity, and even abuse, she built a career for the ages and a life and legacy that were entirely hers. Jill and I send our love and prayers to her husband Erwin, the rest of the Turner family, and fans around the world who are mourning today for the woman they agree was “simply the best.”

@y_ketagalan Congratulations!!!

Yay, that’s me. 😁 What a great graduation gift!

Not only do my friends hang out at fancy places (ask Toby about it 😉), they also publish in fancy journals. Congrats, friends!

@carlammm Yes, there is a recognizable style and careful language associated with AI.

I recently got what was obviously an AI-generated letter in response to a complaint I made to an airline. It only made me angrier. They ended up calling me on the phone after I called them out on it. AI is a lot more detectable than people think. washingtonpost.com/technology/int…

As the end of the academic spring term in the UK draws in, we’ve made a list of ten topics (based on a module convened by our Chief Editor @RubeRiegon) and will tweet out selected articles from Global Society over the next week to help IR students in their assignments! (1/32)

The ninth topic is #Power. For this topic, we have @JTrunkos’s “Comparing Russian, Chinese and American Soft Power Use: A New Approach” (tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…) (26/32)

@YulengZ @UofSC_PoliSci Congratulations

Now that the ink is dry, I am happy to share that I have joined the University of Groningen. Very grateful to all the colleagues (@UofSC_PoliSci and University of Salzburg) who have supported me over the years.

@wtchristiansen Thanks

I am happy to announce my new co-authored publication with Robert H. Cox titled "Examining the Geopolitical Threat Theory by Comparing New Zealand's and Finland's Soft Power Use" in the Journal of Political Power. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
