Awesome victory for student movement in #Bangladesh against #SheikhHasina but there can be no cheering generals taking over in the name of 'restoring peace'. To Pakistanis who are celebrating: pay attention to Baloch, Pashtun & other youth struggling against Khaki Raj at home.

How can a scholar from Global South ever make it into political science ? Says a lot about ideological gate keeping
A friend, a senior political scientist, now faces constant paper rejections after moving from a top Western EU university to a second-best one in a post-communist CEE country. Editors of top journals, please reflect on how you might be contributing to Western hegemony in science
