Coming of age within 'implosion'/ Luise Bendfeldt, Emily Clifford, Hannah Richards
Material type: TextPublication details: 2024Subject(s): In: Review of International Studies, Volume 50, Issue 3, May 2024, pg. 441-456Summary: Starting from this proposed ‘implosion’ of critical IR, this article reflects on our hopes, as two current PhD candidates and one early career researcher in global politics, for teaching and learning in this future world. We begin by reflecting on our own complicity in reproducing the Western-centrism of the discipline and consider how this discomfort can be used productively. The article then considers the radical potential of the classroom and the necessity of empathetic, collaborative inquiry to the future of the discipline of global politics. We advocate for an IR which is imaginative, relational, messy, and vulnerable – and are hopeful about how this may animate a meaningful and sustainable implosion. Embracing our discomfort and the possibility of failure, we hope to contribute to the ongoing ‘unsettling’ of academia from the standpoint of incipient feminist scholars and hopeful early-career teachers.CRITICALItem type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
