Having a wonderful time listening in on Isak Engdahl and Malte Ziewits’s discussions of the Isak’s thesis Pixels and Waves”

Today I’m very happy to watch @davidbazan.bsky.social brilliantly defend his thesis ”Algorithmic Interaction Ritual Chains on TikTok: Scrolling through Feedback Loops”

I’m very happy to share that my paper exploring the ways in which predictive models and scenarios informed and misinformed pandemic strategizing in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic is now published in Social Studies of Science. doi.org/10.1177/0306...

Thank you Stockholm and Nordic STS for three wonderful and thought provoking days!

The two sides of living through crises as a social scientists. On one hand it’s fascinating to see theory come to life as before one’s eyes. On the other hand (and, as Wendell Bell might argued, as a consequence of the kinds of stories sociological theory tends to emphasize), it sucks.

First attempt at breadbording resulted in a slightly dark sounding Electra distortion.

In our new issue, @alexdobeson.bsky.social @toteraltermann.bsky.social and Saskia Brill develop a field guide to the most salient forms of contemporary capitalism www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

A dear feminist science studies mentor passed on March 5. Have a good journey Sandra Harding. ❤️ Harding was UCLA Distinguished Professor Emerita of Education and Gender Studies, former Director of the Center for the Study of Women. Link is an oral history interview with Sandra on her career.

Brilliant thread against AI-assisted peer review. The author of the Nature piece seems to tell us "look I am a lousy peer reviewer and I hate it so I ask AI to do the bulk of it for me -- you should too!"... quite the take. Carl please write a reply and send it to Nature.

New article! It was a treat to be invited to contribute to and working with the editors and co-contributors in this special issue on economic ventures seeking or claiming to do good. valuationstudies.liu.se/article/view... Also, check out the full issue here: valuationstudies.liu.se/issue/view/496

Good evening Stockholm!

Happy to finally have been able to experience Pierre Bourdieu’s photographic documentations from his early works in Algeria, now available in an exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Since I was already in the neighborhood, I decided to visit the Museum of mineralogy. So many fancy rocks! It’s just a shame that my adventures as an ethnographer of mining only ever taught me to appreciate less charismatic minerals such as hematite and magnetite 😅

Thank you @beatricecointe.bsky.social and everyone else at the Economic Expertise and Environmental Action Seminar for inviting me to share some of my work at your meeting today! It was truly great to think about mines, the underground, and the future together with you today!

So looking forward for this seminar!
