We are breaking new ground by resisting the temptation to publicize Marie Petersmann's article as 'ground- breaking'. We are far too grounded for that. It's a beautiful piece though. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Congratulations, lovely Shirin! We’re thrilled to launch the book at LSE Gender in October. Dear all, please come along!

"In contrast to the burgeoning literature on water, biodiversity or forest protection, a gap on ‘soil literacy’ in EU environmental law contributed to an overground bias in the field, to the detriment of underground life."

🚨New article in Society & Space: "Eco-coloniality" and the violent environmentalism of the UK–France border. What's at stake by converting a #refugee camp into a #nature reserve? How is the #environment used to harm racialised #migrants at borders? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…🧵

This is amazing reporting by Bloomberg. The amount of rubble that has to be cleared out before Gaza can be built. 42 million tonnes of debris that will cost $700 million just to clear out: bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-…

This is one of the best investigations on corporate complicity in genocide in Gaza. Political rhetoric is not enough. Until there are economic sanctions against Isr. nothing is going to change. Corporations must stop literally fueling genocide and starvation.

A fantastic interview with always insightful Thea Riofrancos about topics around the materiality and global political economy of mining for the green transition

The news of hostages executed by Hamas is terrible. Solidarity to their loved ones. Hostage taking is a war crime. Executing them too. They could’ve been released long ago in a deal that Netanyahu does not want because he values control over Palestinian land more than human life

This column raises extremely grave concerns. Israelis are currently largely ignoring them, at our own peril.

Decimation... The Lancet estimates that just under 10% of Gaza population killed since Oct 7. The UK agrees to suspend just under 10% of its arms export licences to Israel. Makes you wonder wtf it would take to suspend 100% of export licences. theguardian.com/politics/artic…
