Do you love reading and learning about research, writing, and analysis within the field of international relations?
If so, welcome, you have come to the right section of this website.
Here you may read and get inspired by short articles and interviews with scholars and practitioners who present and discuss their work within the fields of foreign policy, communications, persuasion, perception, psychological distance, decision making, diplomacy, public speaking, international security, and other international relations (IR) related topics.
Is there a need for a new platform with interviews and short articles on IR topics?
Yes. There is always space for more views to be shared and more work to be highlighted in an online medium. And, as the saying goes, "the more the better." Together, we can learn from one another and positively grow in ways we have not yet envisioned.
What is the reason behind creating an interview section for this website?
It is a privilege to be able to learn about people’s research and motivation behind their work. Innovative research, writing, and analysis inspire me to move forward in my own work. I would like this website to do the same for other like-minded individuals.
The main goal for the interview section of this website is to help create a platform and a positive environment for an online community who is keen on sharing their knowledge for the greater good of us all.
How will the interview section of the site look like?
In this section, you will be able to read short interviews and articles highlighting the work of young scholars, as well as that of established academics and practitioners.
The template for the interview will follow a question-and-answer (Q&A) format. Upcoming interviews will look visually similar to this post, and they will focus on answering the five 'W's of journalism: Who, What, When, Where, and Why.
