  rallying cry 'the personal is political – and international'\, this\n'i

 a\nleading scholar in International Politics\, Leverhulme Visiting Profe
 ssor\nV. Spike Peterson\, as she reflects on her entry into\, questionin
 g of\, and moving\nbeyond Disciplinary International Politics (IP). Spur
 red by witnessing global\ninequalities during years of border crossings 
 as a solo backpacker in Africa and\nAsia\, Spike chose a doctoral progra
 m in IP\, but soon found richer insights in\ncritical social theory. Thu
 s began three decades of boundary transgressing\nresearch examining the 
 histories and complex intersections of gender\, sexuality\,\nclass\, eth
 nicity/race and nation\, and extending IP by including the intimate.\nSp
 ike will review and reflect upon this journey\, encouraging us to ponder
  up\nclose (rather than the usual at-a-distance) some of what her resear
 ch\nilluminates\, including economics as a system of valorizations\, aff
 ective dimensions\nof global householding\, the political economy of inf
 ormalized work in relation to\nstructural inequalities and their corolla
 ry insecurities\, and critical queering of\nmarriage\, citizenship and s
 tates/nations. It is a personal engagement by a\n'seasoned' academic sha
 ring her own journey and her current insights into how\nimportant the pe
 rsonal/intimate is for both understanding and challenging global\ninequa
 lities.\n\nThis 'in conversation' session will be followed by a receptio
 n at Kro Bar to\nwhich all audience members are warmly invited.
