DESCRIPTION:This event is co-organised by co-organised by the School of S
 ocial Sciences (SoSS) and CIDRAL. It is part of CIDRAL's 2016/17 program
 me 'Possible Worlds'.\n\nIn the spirit of the rallying cry 'the personal
  is political – and international'\, this 'in conversation' session prov
 ides an opportunity to share the journey of a leading scholar in Interna
 tional Politics\, and Leverhulme Visiting Professor\, V. Spike Peterson\
 , as she reflects on her entry into\, questioning of\, and moving beyond
  Disciplinary International Politics (IP). Spurred by witnessing global 
 inequalities during years of border crossings as a solo backpacker in Af
 rica and Asia\, Spike chose a doctoral program in IP\, but soon found ri
 cher insights in critical social theory. Thus began three decades of bou
 ndary transgressing research examining the histories and complex interse
 ctions of gender\, sexuality\, class\, ethnicity/race and nation\, and e
 xtending IP by including the intimate. \n\nSpike will review and reflect
  upon this journey\, encouraging us to ponder up close (rather than the 
 usual at-a-distance) some of what her research illuminates\, including e
 conomics as a system of valorizations\, affective dimensions of global h
 ouseholding\, the political economy of informalized work in relation to 
 structural inequalities and their corollary insecurities\, and critical 
 queering of marriage\, citizenship and states/nations. It is a personal 
 engagement by a 'seasoned' academic sharing her own journey and her curr
 ent insights into how important the personal/intimate is for both unders
 tanding and challenging global inequalities. \n\nThis 'in conversation' 
 session will be followed by a reception to which all audience members ar
 e warmly invited.\n\nV. Spike Peterson is a Professor of International R
 elations in the School of Government and Public Policy\, at the Universi
 ty of Arizona with courtesy appointments in the Department of Gender and
  Women’s Studies \, Institute for LGBT Studies\, Center for Latin Americ
 an Studies\, and International Studies. Her main areas of research are I
 nternational Relations Theory\; Global Political Economy\; Gender and Po
 litics\; Contemporary Social Theory (Critical\, Poststructural\, Postcol
 onial\, Feminist\, Queer Theory). Her most recent work is on informaliza
 tions of work in relation to structural inequalities and their corollary
  insecurities worldwide\; global householding\; gendering war and its ec
 onomies\; and queering marriage\, citizenship and states/nations. Recent
