Abstract

In a recent article, Maria Eriksson Baaz and Swati Parashar1 trace the continued salience of Eurocentrism in critical International Relations (IR), demonstrating how the ‘master’s outlook’ continues to stifle the study of global politics; they ultimately encourage an unsettling and even implosion of the discipline. Starting from this proposed ‘implosion’ of critical IR, this article reflects on our hopes, as two current PhD candidates and one early career researcher in global politics, for teaching and learning in this future world. We begin by reflecting on our own complicity in reproducing the Western-centrism of the discipline and consider how this discomfort can be used productively. The article then considers the radical potential of the classroom and the necessity of empathetic, collaborative inquiry to the future of the discipline of global politics. We advocate for an IR which is imaginative, relational, messy, and vulnerable – and are hopeful about how this may animate a meaningful and sustainable implosion. Embracing our discomfort and the possibility of failure, we hope to contribute to the ongoing ‘unsettling’ of academia from the standpoint of incipient feminist scholars and hopeful early-career teachers.

在 "内爆 "中成长

在最近的一篇文章中，玛丽亚-埃里克森-巴兹（Maria Eriksson Baaz）和斯瓦蒂-帕拉夏（Swati Parashar1）追溯了欧洲中心主义在批判性国际关系（IR）中的持续突出地位，展示了 "大师观 "如何继续扼杀全球政治研究；他们最终鼓励了该学科的不安甚至内爆。本文以批判性国际关系的 "内爆 "为出发点，反思了我们作为全球政治学领域的两名在读博士生和一名早期职业研究人员对未来世界中教学的希望。我们首先反思了自己在重现该学科的西方中心主义中的共谋行为，并思考了如何有效利用这种不适感。然后，文章考虑了课堂的激进潜力以及移情、合作探究对全球政治学科未来的必要性。我们倡导一种富有想象力、关系性、混乱和脆弱的国际关系--并对这种关系如何能够促进有意义和可持续的内爆充满希望。我们拥抱不适和失败的可能性，希望从初出茅庐的女权主义学者和满怀希望的青年教师的立场出发，为学术界正在进行的 "不安 "做出贡献。
