Just published - what the plantationocene concept helps us understand about adaptation. Despite fundamental limitations, the concept allows us to see important dynamics of uneven development, dispossession and racialization in responses to climate change www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This was a brilliant talk by @ndubash.bsky.social - I will be thinking a lot about his conclusions on the implications to re-orienting climate policy around self-determination. Thanks to @robertfalkner.bsky.social for organizing, @gsos-lse.bsky.social for hosting! Podcast recording will be up soon.

This is a great piece!

New article! Climate Change and Urban-Agrarian Solidarities. @kasiapaprocki.bsky.social and Hillary Angelo and I look across the fields of urban studies and agrarian studies to explore material entanglements and political solidarities. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My book DARK LAB is out today!! And I’m featured in the @nytimes.com book review!!

This piece gave me SO much to think about, highly recommended

Essential reading on LA wildfire risk from @koslov.bsky.social + Kathryn McConnell “Managed retreat that is not accompanied by substantial investment in creating safe, sustainable and affordable sources of housing could worsen an already monumental housing crisis.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/19/o...

I can't stop thinking about these people risking their lives to save this city and the people in it who voted just a few months ago to keep them working in these unimaginable conditions

Apply for this job! In an excellent program, with the most wonderful colleagues.
