Very excited about this event with @cedricdurand.bsky.social at the New School in New York City. We have distinct arguments about this tortured post-Late Capitalism we are living through, I’m genuinely curious to see where the conversation goes.

In grad school I worked at a yarn store near here and sometimes art students would come in high on shrooms so they could look at all the colors. Got a couple bounced checks, too. Many such examples of very high crime in this area.

🚨COMRADES!🚨 It's finally time to register for the 10th Danish conference for marxist studies on oct.10th-11th through link below!

I don't have anything to plug (yet) but always happy to visit your class to talk about Marxian Critical Theory etc.

There’s an anecdote I heard from someone who was on his CEA that early in his presidency Clinton got in trouble for telling a journalist in an off-hand remark that Greenspan was doing a good job, bc central bank independence means he can’t comment on what the Fed is doing period.

[Head tapping meme] Can’t draw the admin’s wrath over foreign grad students posting about Palestine if you eliminate all admits in every program where grad students would post about Palestine

Omg slay

🤩🤩🤩🤩

She has a back cover now, too! Would be so grateful if you’d preorder, request your library to acquire it, tell your friends, etc. Officially out in November.

Solidarity with our locked out colleagues at Dalhousie!

This is a very good concise summary of Kirstin's quite interesting book (full disclosure I have a review copy but I haven't had a chance to properly read it- its currently on loan to a student)

I hope at some point the publisher- or some other publisher- puts out a paperback (and that the paperback is relatively affordable). The other thing I will say is @kmunro-econ.bsky.social's book is a rare example of qualitative methods research in econ bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/how-eco-cons...

thank you new institute for making me a thought leader video clip 🙏 www.instagram.com/reel/DM-gDzd...

I just finished my last bit of work on this project that’s taken me three years (!!!). Can’t wait for you all to see it in print in a few months.

An absolute must-listen for anyone in academia

Galleys for Lise Vogel’s The Contested Domain (edited by me and with a foreword by Paula Varela) are here! Out in November… Please consider preordering from Pluto Press!

Yesterday, one of our union leaders was arrested during an ICE raid in Camarillo, CA, while he was lawfully observing immigration enforcement activities. www.calfac.org/statement-condemning-the-abduction-and-disappearance-of-cfa-members-in-camarillo/

I am going to need the full Presidential Fitness Test results, including the sit-and-reach score

I won a contest and used the money for a milk foaming appliance I would never normally buy for myself, and now I can have lattes several times a day. Thank you worm, first you give me 52 free burritos at chipotle, and now this. 🐛

Workers in the U.S. embassy in South Sudan are required to use armored vehicles for all movements and are not allowed to walk outside anywhere except for a small area near the embassy during daylight hours only. So.

This video is an extremely rough watch. But towards the beginning, the fed (labeled as Border Patrol) says “We’re just following orders.” My blood ran cold. That’s where we’re at. You can tell the agents are having a hard time. The masks also cover emotional reactions. Press them as hard as you can

Hey Kew Gardens

I’m so wound up by… you know… this: substack.com/inbox/post/1... that I’m awake to livestream this insightful talk. An unexpected treat and much needed reminder of work being done by comrades around the globe to move us beyond this world (which we must leave).

This is tomorrow 11am CET in-person and online. Come be with me, the world is a disaster. This is new work I’m continuing to develop as the result of many helpful conversations with my New Institute buds who I’m not tagging to not be annoying, thank you 🙏

Next Monday, and there is a zoom option!

Unauthorized bootleg reissue

Excited to invite you to a hybrid talk with Kirstin Munro titled "Marxist Feminism Beyond Women". The talk will be followed by a brief (offline-only) workshop that discusses post-capitalist social reproduction. Details below, registration for offline participation here: shorturl.at/m4a4Q 1/2

Today at Uni of Cph: @kmunro-econ.bsky.social !

Tomorrow in Copenhagen! I have talks coming up in Duisburg on 11 June and Berlin on 23 June. More details here soon. And the Berlin talk will have a zoom option!

Our book is out and available for purchase in the U.K. Writing this book with @cacrisalves.bsky.social @surbhikesar.bsky.social & @ingridhk.bsky.social was a long and arduous process that has arguably changed us all, and we’d be honoured for y’all to read it!

It’s out! I’m deeply proud and grateful for this book — especially for the chance to collaborate with such brilliant & bold minds. Here’s to hoping its ideas spark fresh conversations and inspire meaningful change in our field. #economics #eurocentrism #decolonisation

New working paper alert!!! In this paper, I reexamine the claim that clothes washing machines have a causal impact on married women’s labor force participation using microdata from Brazil and a discussion based on feminist STS! ideas.repec.org/p/new/wpaper...

A reminder I will be giving a talk this Thursday. Here is the link to register: bit.ly/frankfurtianas

"My decision is not primarily driven by fear of experiencing even a fraction of the humiliation that thousands of so-called 'illegal immigrants,' 'criminals,' or political dissidents—wrongly branded as 'terrorists'—have suffered over time. It is, above all, a political decision" Some excerpts 🧵

Not sure why it took the NYT so long but this is good reporting and surprisingly blunt: "Project Esther exclusively focuses on antisemitism on the left, ignoring antisemitic harassment and violence from the right." [gift link] www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

Pleased (and even a little surprised) by this lengthy review of Adorno and Marx in the Journal of Adorno Studies mimesisjournals.com/ojs/index.ph...
