The Future is Degrowth, Not Apocalypse. New review of our book just dropped. It's more than a review - in fact, it's a re-reading of our book through apocalyptic discourse. aaron vansintjan 🐙 Verso Books heiup.uni-heidelberg.de/journals/index…

One of the poetic summaries of our book that I've come across: "This book is not a warning. It is about what parts of today should survive into tomorrow."

Finished Solnit and Lutunatabua's #NotTooLate 🌊 Some good chapters (e.g. 8, 14, 16) yet lacks imagination. I like its goal but by each of the 20+ collaborators arguing for hope, there's insufficient space to elaborate on it. Probably a good #ClimateCrisis intro for Americans

my brain has been of 🔥 since this mornings’s cultural geography study group session with the super inspiring willow r presentation on DIY zinemaking and Deniz Yildiz on playback theatre as experimental collective research practices, reading the zine now! #iag2023

In the office after almost a month away! First at IAG2023, and then recovering from the nasty covid passenger that came back with me. Let's hope I remember how this all works 😅

Today, I'm backed by my senator, David Pocock, in launching my campaign to establish a duty of care owed by politicians to young people, ensuring that our health and wellbeing is considered when making decisions that could affect the climate system.

Genuine question, how much ecological damage would be avoided if the Federal Government covered the cost for spaying cats? I feel like not an insubstantial amount 🐱 #Auspol2023 #Sustainability #biodiversity

A good piece of journalism about a worrying trend, and something I'm personally pretty alarmed about - ChatGPT / AI in assessment marking. abc.net.au/news/2023-11-2…

Great article on how TV in Israel depicts a sanitised picture of the war. All strength, no consequences. That means no crippled health system, no civilian deaths, no orphans. Stories matter, and absence speaks volumes. abc.net.au/news/2023-12-1…

My commentary about the responsibilities of geographers is published! Pretty thrilled. Plenty more could've been said. But I'm glad I could say something about what we owe in such an important (and tricky) discipline 😊🌳 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
