My doctoral research was basically a sidequest, one of those projects driven mostly by personal interest rather than strategy, and something that I really miss. I'd love to go back to it one day, hopefully without it going completely out of date.
Just had a really lovely moment where I described my doctoral research to a bunch of PhD students. Rather than being bored by it, they kept asking questions, wanting more detail, increasingly interested! It was just a really nice moment, and actually something kinda rare in the current moment.

Guilhot and Negri on Ukraine.
I think what is interesting here is how this piece describes the war in Ukraine in a way that suggests a repetition of WWII in both the territory and the economics of the war period - i.e. it will not be a global war, it will be a European one, and the US stands to benefit in terms of who bears the costs, and who will loan the money to rebuild. I don't know if I'd say that the EU is the target of the US/NATO, but it is an interesting idea.
@thesiswhisperer @ResearchWhisperer help! I'm an academic getting a steady trickle of PhD application requests that are completely out of left field and I don't know how to triage or deal with them appropriately - any advice?
