Another addition to our 'geography & nothingness' special issue in SCGeog Journal (w/ catherine oliver). The paper investigates the urbanist discourse of places as 'empty' and how - amongst other kinds of labour- it "risks reproducing the frontier imagery of gentrification".

In this new article, Andrew Culp and I reflect on the making of our film 'Machines in Flames' and the problem of 'archive fever' for conducting historical research. Big thank you to A Bussy and M Goddard (Michael Goddard) for the delightful reviews. intransition.openlibhums.org/article/id/165…

The theme of our CfP is - painfully - gaining in further relevance as the Trump-Thiel-Musk triad deepens its AI-inflected authoritarian tendencies. Deadline for abstract submission is this Friday.

Ranjani Srinivasan, the Columbia grad student whose visa was revoked forcing a "self deportation", was scheduled to present their research at the AAG meeting next week. This is an outrageous attack on our colleague and on geographic thought. Share and sign the statement below.

Submitted the final manuscript of 'Techno-Negative' recently. If all goes well, the book should be out in Spring 2026. Can't wait to share it with the world.
