Promotion update!

It’s on-the-door official! From today, I’ve been promoted to Professor of International Relations in the department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick. That’s it! Now just another 25 years, and I can apply for emeritus.

Although I will miss explaining to my US friends, family, and colleagues what the heck “Reader” means as a job title, I am looking forward to the ease of translating “Professor” to Spanish and Portuguese. I think it is the one academic title that is the same everywhere!

I am so grateful to PAIS, my colleagues, and my students for all you’ve done during the seven years that Warwick has been my professional home. And thank you to so many friends and mentors at American University and beyond who have been in my corner for years. I’ve been lucky to have so much support from my parents, family, and friends–but especially from my wife, Marta.
