Thanks @DrAyeshaRay! Women playing visible roles in protests have become symbols of freedom & progress. From @GretaThunberg leading struggle against climate change, 2 Alaa Salah leading protest songs against al-Bashir on a car in Khartoum in a traditional white toub. 1/ #WIISTOTC
In her paper, @DrAyeshaRay invites us to explore the role of women activism in current protests and mass mobilization in India. This is vital because as @EricaChenoweth finds out, direct correlation btwn the success of protest movements & the participation of women. 2/ #WIISTOTC
@DrAyeshaRay As this is work in progress, I have several “Qs” to help you think through your contribution. First, in what contexts will decisions made by a diverse array of women coalesce into a collective response, sparking a women’s movement? 3/ #WIISTOTC
Thanks @__michaelmurphy for your paper. I appreciate the questions you raised. Discussions about teaching, learning, and securitization, are essential at this time. #WIISTOTC #tandl #highered /1
My questions, like @Fair_Decoy, are designed to support thinking through ideas. Many are based on paper you wrote -- just for the sake of context. @__michaelmurphy #WIISTOTC
I wonder if the pre-pandemic f2f teaching in your paper is a bit romanticized? What are your assumptions about f2f? What are the structural inequalities that already exist? What is 'normal' f2f pre-pandemic? @__michaelmurphy #WIISTOTC
1/13. Is #EmergencyeLearning a case of securitization?
My #WIISTOTC presentation has 4 sections: key justifications for emergency eLearning, content analysis of 90 E-eL declarations, application of securitization theory, and concluding thoughts on post-pandemic pedagogy.

2/13 Without a vaccine available, only “Old-Style” public health measures (doi.org/10.1093/jtm/ta…) of isolation, quarantine, distancing, and containment are available to #flattenthecurve of #COVID-19. #WIISTOTC
3/13 Face-to-face (F2F) classes are presented as public health threats b/c of the possibility of transmission among asymptomatic/mildly-symptomatic & devastating effects of cluster transmission (from Shincheonji Church to Spring Break) among other reasons. #WIISTOTC
Good Afternoon, @WIISToronto twitter friends! This is the afternoon session of our 2nd twitter conference, Future Security Challenges Facing Canada: Vital Insights from Women in International Security. #WIISTOTC
This morning's session was great - thanks @irwintanya for moderating and @st_martel @caredunton for presenting, and @achapnick and @Fair_Decoy for discussing. It was fun to watch.
I’m @vmkitchen moderating here this afternoon. If you missed us this morning, you can find the agenda and some handy tips here: #WIISTOTC
This paper by @caredunton aims to ground some of the relatively limited research on Canada and the #UNSC in IR theory about status and identity. This is a good thing. Previous work has been utterly devoid of theory. #WIISTOTC 1/10
It will also add to the literature on small states. Another good thing. But I do have some questions / suggestions / observations (and I’m not good with #gifs, sorry) @caredunton #WIISTOTC 2/10
For one, why no reference to Tom Keating’s, Canada and World Order: The Multilateralist Tradition in Canadian Foreign Policy oupcanada.com/catalog/978019…. Keating is interested in somewhat similar themes and ideas. @caredunton #WIISTOTC 3/10
Hi! I’m Caroline and I work on Canada🇨🇦 at the UNSC🇺🇳 This is a work in progress – thoughts are welcome as I dig through archival documents and start interviews (by phone)! #WIISTOTC

In IR, we know much about the UNSC, but limited to the P5. We know less about elected states (E10): how they perform, what they do, how to campaign. BUT we do know the E10 matter. My discussant @achapnick wrote a book on this! #WIISTOTC
I aim to understand the E10 and focus on one in particular: 🇨🇦🇨🇦
The UN Charter 🇺🇳 wanted elected states (at the time only 6) to be chosen for geographical representation and ability to contribute to peace/security & council mandate. #WIISTOTC

I am interested in the role of discourse in IR, so when I encounter an ambiguous phrase that suddenly becomes a set piece of int. policy speech, is presented as self-evident, has no clear definition, and is treated as it had always been there, I go like this: #WIISTOTC /1
The “rules-based international order” (RBIO) is a good ex. Many (e.g. @cafreeland) lament that it's “under attack”. RBIO is also finding surprising allies: @SecPompeo deplores that it has been “allowed to corrode”, @mfa_russia complains that it “is being ruined”. #WIISTOTC /2
Many versions of RBIO coexist in a battle of narratives, where various actors claim legitimate authority in shaping the rules of international society. Narratives by liberal democracies, but also Russia, China, etc. all reproduce 3 (powerful but unstable) “myths”. #WIISTOTC /3
