Absolutely wonderful and inspiring intro to this song!

Ny bok! "Från utopi til mörk resonans" handlar om hur vi med hjälp av Hartmut Rosas begrepp resonans kan närma oss en idé om det goda livet, samhället och döden. Den är tänkt som en startpunkt för diskussioner om existentiella och politiska frågor i klimatkrisens tid. daidalos.se/fr%C3%A5n-ut...

Here is an exciting co-produced manifesto for an effective and fair climate policy in Sweden. I hope this product can stimulate improved decision-making in Sweden, and inspire similar research-civil society collaborations in other countries. fairtrans.nu/fairtrans-re...

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What motivates people to engage in climate advocacy? In a new PNAS Nexus megastudy [https://doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pgaf400] led by @dgoldwert.bsky.social we tested 17 theoretical interventions on a large US sample (N=31,324) to increase public, political, and financial climate advocacy. 1/5

I've written an end of year substack post about tracking Trump, where we are ending the year and some implications for Europe and for me personally... christinapagel.substack.com/p/personal-r...

New article where we have reviewed policy analyses of the European Green Deal. The discourse of the EGD is more transformative than other climate policies, but its transformative potential is limited by its ecomodernist and eurocentric assumptions. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I participated in this EC project doing case studies in Sweden and Spain on the "twin transition", i.e., green and digital. The report is now published. We found both potential synergies and problems (as expected?). publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/h...

The Trump Action Tracker has an update! Main change is to break down the five authoritarian domains into ten - this allows for easier understanding of why actions have been logged and more tools for searching / filtering the now 1621 actions. www.trumpactiontracker.info? 1/2

Agreed! That is an excellent article in @psychmag.bsky.social. For those that missed it - www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

Ni som inte redan läser Carl Heaths kommentarer om utvecklingen i USA: Gör det.

“We are facing a planetary emergency. The breach of the Ocean Acidification boundary is a stark scientific warning and a moral call to action. Without healthy oceans, peace, prosperity & stability are at risk everywhere. We must act now...to safeguard this life-support system for future generations"

New paper out on how we can have resonant conversations with utopian ideas about the future in times of climate crisis, and how this can spur “imaginaction” and futuring practices. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Samuel L. Jackson promotes wind energy - didn't imagine to spread commercials here, but this one's just too good not to! Any combo of Pulp Fiction references and green transition will make me smile. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uEp...

Since I’m still in vacation mood, I’ll share the result of this summer’s music project: the death metal album “Morphocide” - dealing with the turn toward fascism in the US, climate, Gaza, and more. Give it a spin! thebreachingexperiment.bandcamp.com/album/morpho...

Love this comic, but the research on resistance actually finds that anger fuels resistance. I would shift the order so it's consistent with the research findings: Denial-> Depression-> Anger->RESISTANCE!

R.I.P. Ozzy. What an ending of a career and a life. Thanks for everything.

Some very good news for academics chasing permissions & high res images.

Despair? There's no time you have work to do! As for me I'm going to lie down in this puddle and be miserable. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"With the passage of Trump's death bill, we face the prospect of many great harms, including an archipelago of concentration camps across the United States." snyder.substack.com/p/concentrat...

Climate researchers face an antagonistic climate of denial, scepticism, and distrust. This impacts their communication and research negatively. Read further in a new study published in @ambio-journal.bsky.social by Laila Mendy and me. Our findings are concerning. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

Very good read, specifically on the different approaches toward doomerism.

In the past year we've had a series of papers with results that've shocked #climate scientists - the globe is heating #FasterThanExpected & we don't fully know why The public discourse is not keeping up. Here's a series of 5 new studies that climate hawks & journos need to have on their radar 🧵

Critical data studies meet sociology! We are proud to publish this exciting special issue which has been managed by guest editors Julia Velkova and Ericka Johnson. sociologiskforskning.se/sf/issue/vie...

Som enda svenska bank river Nordea upp sitt eget klimatlöfte och öppnar för nya lån till några av världens mest klimatskadliga fossilprojekt. Det visar en granskning av Fair Finance Guide och Naturskyddsföreningen.

Makthavarna har uppdraget att investera i den teknik och de levnadssätt som krävs för att bevara planeten. Regeringen gör tvärt om. Ifjol ökade därför utsläppen i Sverige med nästan 6%. Det är unikt uselt www.aftonbladet.se/ledare/a/8q0...

New article out today on how European workplaces apply and interpret regulation on work environment, and how this is influenced by organizational and other conditions. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Andreas Malm, interviewed by Bernardo Jurema and Elias König on his recent book, “Overshoot” (from @versobooks.bsky.social), written with Wim Carton. Malm spoke to Protean on the “unique” case of Colombia, Freudo-Marxism, his forthcoming "The Long Heat," and more. proteanmag.com/2025/06/03/u...

Good news: EU capitals are planning to reach the #climate target of 55% by 2030. The aggregate of the 27 national plans get us to 54% according to the Commission. These findings cut through the political noise of a 'backlash' and reveal a more consistent reality of progress. My full take here ⬇️

I love this. Not merely since I love corvids, but because this piece does not assume that animals are idiots.

Good post. I recently got confused over just this, when “performative” was used in the second sense, meaning “just for show”. It’s the very opposite of what the term means i social theory.

Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal. And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.

"Capitalism has entered a radical and apocalyptic phase. There is no utopian vision in any of this." Interview ⤵️

American embassy in Stockholm, Sweden has sent a contract to the city to sign that they will give up any equivalent to DEI work. The city responded that it’s the embassy that needs the relation with the city, not the other way around, hence they will not sign.

Could political radicalism require an element of conservatism? That’s what we suggest in our new article. Treating politics as theatre, we suggest that the most successful shows tap into and reinterpret already dominant symbols. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Svenskt Näringsliv bedriver mångmiljonkampanj för sänkta miljöambitioner och uppluckring av klimatlagar – med framgång. Flera EU-beslut från den gröna given är redan på väg att rivas upp. Hur rimmar det med högtidstalen om att ”näringslivet går före politiken”? www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/a/B0n...

🧵In March I wrote about how Trump's attacks on science & universities followed the authoritarian playbook & set out Qs as warning signs for escalation. 🚨 THESE ARE NOW HAPPENING This 🧵is on how those warning sign Qs have been realised full post: christinapagel.substack.com/p/warning-si... 1/15

Christina Pagel on Trump’s war on science and academic freedom.

My article on dark resonance - on the possibility of resonance with death - is now published in an issue in @actasociologica.bsky.social. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Interesting paper on discourses around (and against) biodiversity. I see this in our interviews with people in forestry too. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Christina Pagel is spot on as usual.

The majority of people —56% in the US!—are worried about climate change, but not activated. Why not? Most feel helpless, hopeless, and don't know what to do. So more fear won't activate them. Rather, knowing what to do—and being invited to do it—will. Where to start? With a conversation today. 🧵

So Harvard is fighting back. Good. www.latimes.com/world-nation... Supported by donors, Stanford, Yale profs & Obama. Very good. Examples matter. And Harvard isn’t the first: remember community colleges, then Wesleyan, Georgetown, Princeton. Find & share language that clarifies & galvanizes.

I wrote about foreign academics being in danger in the US last week. christinapagel.substack.com/p/trumps-att... This week the Canadian Association of University Teachers advised against non-essential US travel. I meet 2 criteria - never thought I'd be scared to go to the US. horrible.

All hail Harvard! Don’t bend!
