Using social practice theory, we frame climate adaptation as something lived and performed in everyday life. Focusing on practices, rather than isolated behaviours or technologies, opens up new ways to support meaningful micro-adaptation on the ground.

In this systematic review, Scott Bremer, Etienne Dunn-Sigouin, Manuel Hempel and I examine beekeeping as a social practice. Drawing on peer-reviewed studies worldwide, we show how climate change reshapes meanings, competences, materials, temporalities and more-than-human relations.

We are happy to share our Open Access paper, “Adapting the social practice of beekeeping to a changing climate,” now published in @ambio-journal.bsky.social. Climate change reshapes not only ecosystems, but everyday practices – beekeeping shows how. doi.org/10.1007/s132...

Ali Teymoori and I wrote up a piece for @markrubin.bsky.social's excellent Critical Metascience blog. We summarise our new paper on disciplinary crises in psychology and some of the key take-homes for psychologists.

We've all heard about the replication crisis in psychology. But psychologists have been calling "crisis" for as long as the discipline has been around. Ali Teymoori and I look at this history and what it means for today's crisis. #philsky doi.org/10.1177/1089...
