Wonderful to see our students become engaged thanks to the education we provide them with. A particular credit goes to @martinsokol.bsky.social for his finance and climate justice module. Please sign our students' petition! c.org/5R7CkWHmSm

New open-access resource on climate obstruction detailing all the ways industry has been strategically sabotaging climate action. Great collaborating with many colleagues at @cssn.org. I’m a lead author on last chapter on resisting climate obstruction. Check it out!

Join us on Nov 13th for the Climate Justice Universities Union Autumn-Winter All-Ireland Meeting, hosted by SETU Carlow.

"while #climate action was, at best, part of the ‘3rd mission’ of the financialized university, it could be seen as the ‘1st mission’ of the climate justice university" - @martinsokol.bsky.social & @jenniecstephens.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Various chapters focus on different economic sectors, with @stacydvandeveer.bsky.social focusing on coal phaseouts, @matpaterson.bsky.social looking at peat politics, @jenniecstephens.bsky.social and @martinsokol.bsky.social at central banking, @vah301.bsky.social at insurance companies. 8/

Just published chapter on on "Politicizing financial innovations for transformative climate justice” with @martinsokol.bsky.social in open access book on climate politics. Thanks to @matpaterson.bsky.social Paul Tobin & @stacydvandeveer.bsky.social 4 editing+ www.cambridge.org/core/books/s...

Check out our new research w/ @martinsokol.bsky.social on redistributing higher ed to meet urgent community needs - moving away from financialized universities reinforcing profit-seeking competitiveness toward transformative accessible collective community-based orgs more like public libraries

NEW PAPER co-authored with @jenniecstephens.bsky.social : We need to transform #universities from financialised, entrepreneurial ones to #ClimateJustice universities! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Inspiring Educator Award 2025 (one of 12 in Trinity College Dublin @tcddublin.bsky.social ) Many thanks to my wonderful #Geography students for nominating me!

Congratulations @jenniecstephens.bsky.social ! Powerful inaugural with standing ovations! 👏👏👏 @maynoothuniversity.ie #ClimateJustice

“Central banks and monetary policy in the age of climate disruption: between climate justice and climate obstruction” - joint paper with @jenniecstephens.bsky.social Great discussion! #FinGeo conference in Singapore #climatejustice #climateobstruction #centralbanks

Agreed! Also, how central #centralbanks are to all this - especially to #climate ! Great start to the #FinGeo Global Conference!

Great to be in Singapore at the 2nd Global Network on Financial Geography (FinGeo) conference - just opened by our wonderful #FinGeo Chair Dariusz Wojcik With @karenpylai.bsky.social , David Bassens , Michael Grote , and many others

Financial systems have been implicated in climate change from the start. Yet they’re also central to wealth redistribution and thus to CJ. @jenniecstephens.bsky.social and @martinsokol.bsky.social locate a profound contradiction where central banks aim to stabilize an inherently unstable system.

An analysis of tweets from three major U.S. sectors shows coordinated messaging to reinforce fossil-fuel reliance by denying the science and delaying change. @alainakinol.bsky.social Y. Si, J.Kinol, & @jenniecstephens.bsky.social propose a discourse of climate obstruction framework: bit.ly/4gcA1iW

The Federal Reserve has left the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) saying its work had “broadened in scope, covering a wider range of issues that are outside of the Board’s statutory mandate”. greencentralbanking.com/2025/01/21/n...

Excellent piece by @jenniecstephens.bsky.social on #ClimateJustice in Ireland

So much for CB independence..“If the Fed wants to fulfill its mandate, it will need to resist the political whims of the president & actually live up to claims of political independence. Policy reversals on the eve of the Trump inauguration” are revealing. greencentralbanking.com/2025/01/21/n...

Brilliant book by @jenniecstephens.bsky.social Powerful critique of how universities have become for-profit companies legitimising our unequal fossil fuel capitalist order. Provides radical but hopeful proposals. Must read for all university staff and policy makers. Will shock students

New special episode today! Darragh goes to Cork to find out about climate justice in universities and has a great chat with the irrepressible @profjohnbarry.bsky.social and @jenniecstephens.bsky.social who are working to transform higher education! player.captivate.fm/episode/80d3...

Delighted to be part of this starter pack on financialization! Thank you Stefan Ouma @econgeo.bsky.social for putting it together!

The best book launch ever - Jennie C. Stephens @jenniecstephens.bsky.social “Climate Justice and the University” - full house at the Royal Irish Academy @ria.ie, with excellent chairing by Anna Davies and great response by John Barry @profjohnbarry.bsky.social #ClimateJustice #University #Hope

I am so grateful to Dr Clare Kelly, my Trinity College Dublin colleague, for a recent super interesting lecture for my Finance & Climate Justice students, including a highly engaging exercise Reimagining the Good Life! 👏👏👏 #ClimateCrisis #ClimateJustice #DoughnutEconomics #PostGrowth

Delighted to have my own copy of this amazing book from my favourite author Jennie C. Stephens @jenniecstephens.bsky.social and looking forward to the book launch on Tuesday 10th December! #ClimateJustice and the #University

Disappointing to see this “academic capture” with @TCD aligning their climate agenda with a bank despite research revealing the greenwashing climate obstruction of industry funding universities. The dangers of this is a focus of my new book Climate Justice & the University www.tcd.ie/news_events/...

Invitation to launch of my new book Climate Justice and the University: Shaping a Hopeful Future For All (Hopkins University Press, 2024) on Tuesday December 10th 1-2 EST 6-7 GMT. All welcome to discuss reimagining higher ed & transformative climate justice. Register here bit.ly/JennieStephe...
