Here’s to my adorable working-from-home companion of 2024, looking resplendent in her winter coat.

Excited to receive the proofs for a chapter coming out next year, which represents my first foray in writing speculative fiction in an academic context. Hugely inspired by the likes of @ruha9.bsky.social and Kodwo Eshun.

Digging into the archives for my latest writing project and found this from the OECD Facing the Future report in 1979: ‘the future will not be compromised’ if no account of rising carbon emissions is taken in policy decisions of the next 10 years.

I love this time of year when the leaves carpet the pavements.

Heading home after catching my first ever live production of Romeo and Juliet at Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre, which once housed the city’s cotton exchange. It was very nicely staged in this beautiful venue.

Spotted at the station on way to give seminar with Hannah Morgan on “Enabling Futures? Disability and Sociology of Futures” today at Leeds School of Sociology and Social Policy. Looking forward to discussion later on this new joint work.

Today I have been helping to run a symposium on Spaceports: Places, Promises, Politics with social scientists and the spaceport industry in the room. It’s been so helpful to share perspectives on the socio-political aspects of space launch.

Reading Mumford’s 1944 book for something I am writing and am struck by how relevant still some of his observations are: “utopia can no longer be an unknown land [..] it is rather the region one knows and loves best, re-apportioned, re-shaped and re-cultivated for permanent human occupation”
