100 Years of Solitude

Following up on Isabel’s blog post title, I thought I’d provide my own Marquez novel title, equally relevant to the unprecedented levels of seclusion and social isolation experienced by many during this corona crisis. ‘100 years’ is blatantly hyperbolic, but

Conjuring apples from the comfort of your home

Like so many others, the inspiration for my blog post this week comes from social distancing. This has been a hectic week. In the space of a few days, face-to-face teaching has been suspended at Universities and schools around the

The Translation of Transnational Concepts

A Transnational History of International Schools

The transnationalisation of Nazism

When Hitler blew his brains out in the ruins of Berlin, this was commonly thought to be the end of Nazism as an ideology. The far right would remain, of course. There had been reactionaries, even fascists, before Hitler. The

How the Other Half Lives: Slums in Media, 1890 vs Present day

COVID-19 as the Book of Revelations: Thoughts on the transnational reception of coronavirus

Coronavirus has shocked the increasingly interconnected global community to its core, perhaps even more so than the ebola epidemic five, the swine flu epidemic ten, or the bird flu epidemic fifteen years ago. While I consider a cynical approach to

Human Trafficking is Everywhere: Analyzing The Crime and Why the Inherent Networks Matter for Organized Crime Transnationally

Pepsi or Vodka?: An analysis of transnational transactions and the creation of a ‘global consumerism’

There’s an age-old saying, ’Pepsi Or Coke’, the perfect paradox for many today of my generation who view most soft drinks best served as a ‘mixer’ with their preferred poison. If you were a citizen of the Soviet Union, however,
