#introduction
Hi #histodons I’m excited to discuss history on here rather than the 🐥 app now.
I’m a first year PhD student at Ohio University. My research studies focus on diplomatic history pertaining to the US response to humanitarian crises and human rights policies during the Cold War. My thesis was about Carter’s response to the Indochinese refugee diaspora.

My v late #Introduction: I teach history at #Birkbeck, Uni of London - an amazing place but currently going through an existential crisis. I work on the history of #internationalism, incl a long-standing project on the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. Recently I've been thinking about international #conferences as part of the mechanics of internationalism. Also interested in histories of humanitarian relief work, #refugees, #aidhistory, #histsci #histodons #scihistodons

Introducing myself: I'm a historian interested in questions of global justice, development, environment, and Global North-South encounters. I've written two books on those subjects - the second of which, The NGO Moment, was published last year (2021) by Cambridge University Press. I've also collaborated on several projects with colleagues from the aid sector and I'm currently working on a new project about climate change adaptation.
