Back from “Teaching STS in STEM fields” workshop at @tuwien.at - intense two days working with students and lecturers around key concerns & ways forward in bringing STS to technical spaces. Time & again, critical pedagogies & institutionalizing exchange spaces are at the center of students’ needs!

Our “Clarion Call” has been re-published for the fourth time. This one is in the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse signaling the urgency of repercussions of the attacks on science in the US… www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I have the honor of being a visiting fellow this month at "The Danish Centre for Studies in Research and Research Policy" at the gorgeous campus of @au.dk. Wonderfully collegial and inspiring atmosphere to be working from, and the walks around this campus are definitely helping thinking minds!

In other news, I'm pleased to have joined #HarmReductionJournal as #AssociateEditor. This role allows me to contribute to visibility of digital interventions, treatment & recovery research. HRJ is a high-impact journal connecting policy, practice, research & amplifying advocacy. shorturl.at/p5mhu

Here comes a new #CriticalConcept, "Subject-Positioning", by Landhaus Fellow Ben Glasson. Ben first introduced this concept to the RCC in his Lunchtime Colloquium “Greenwash 2.0: The Poetics of Corporate Environmentalism.” The recording of the LC will be posted on our YouTube channel soon.

It discusses the case of #ShinyFlakes to analyze the entanglement of media reporting, rigidity of drug laws, and reconfiguration of entrepreneurial drug dealing through digital infrastructures. I had fun writing about it and hope it sparks a conversation or two 💫 doi.org/10.31219/osf...

I am not big on preprints, but since the production is going to take a while, I am happy to share this accepted author copy of a chapter I wrote about the relationship between digital drug dealing and law for an upcoming volume in Cambridge University Press! osf.io/preprints/os...
