I'm very pleased to say that my article on John A. Hobson, the new-liberal economist and critic of imperialism, is out in @PoliticalTheory -- it's about his conception of race, the limits of modern empire, and global capitalism journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

I wrote an idiosyncratic snapshot of the state of political theory. Basically, I don't think the study of decolonization grows out of postcolonial theory. It's the intellectual afterlife of the global financial crisis and the protest decade that followed. doi.org/10.1177/009059…

It is evident the administration would rather arrest, silence, and physically assault its own students than confront its enabling of israel’s genocide in Gaza.

New paper on the intellectual transformations that rendered colonialism into a generic name for European rule over Asia and Africa. It is also a study of the fundamental theoretical tension that marked the category's twentieth-century history.

I received the first copy of my forthcoming book earlier today! It should be out in the world very soon. And my publisher @Harvard_Press is offering a holiday sale on all their titles. If you’re interested in the book, now would be a good time to preorder it! @_sen_sharmila

Very, very excited (but still slightly stunned) to say that my article about Silicon Valley and outer space colonization is now online at @apsrjournal. More—and many more thank yous!—to come, but for now the open access link is here. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
