Teaching IR

For the first time in six years, I gave a lecture on International Relations theory – to a mixed group of our Halmstad students and international exchange students. Practicing “internationalization at home”, it was great to see students learning not just from the material, but from each other. Overall, I think today's lecture went really well, especially considering that I have not taught in English for quite some time.

Meanwhile, beyond the classroom, tensions are once again rising between India and Pakistan, driven by decades of sectarian indoctrination on both sides. One can only hope that the nuclear taboo holds and that further escalation can be prevented.
