My new article with @mihjournal.bsky.social is at long last in orbit. It explores how the neoliberal fantasy machine has used space colonisation to wish away the problem of environmental limits and revive the legitimation of private property.

Auch die Wissenschaft muss sich positionieren: gegen Tendenzen der Faschisierung und für vielfältigen und gewaltfreien Protest, der der extremen Rechten nicht den öffentlichen Raum überlässt: wissenschaft-gegen-faschismus.de/index.php/so... Unterschreibt!

Solidarität mit den friedlichen Protesten gegen den AfD-Parteitag in Erfurt

Am 4. und 5. Juli versammelt sich die AfD in Erfurt für ihren Bundesparteitag - auf den Tag 100 Jahre nach dem NSDAP-Reichsparteitag in Thüringen, der als Wendepunkt für den Aufstieg des Nationalsozialismus gilt. Wie Historiker*innen bereits festgestellt haben, ist die Wahl des Ortes und des Datums kein Zufall, sondern ein kalkulierter symbolischer Akt: ein Signal der Verbundenheit mit rechtsextremen Milieus.

Pleased to see my article "Prudently Heating the Planet: Tracing the Legal Logic Bolstering Fossil-Fuel Investments" published in @mihjournal.bsky.social. In short, it explores the relationship between financial law, Chicago school theory, and continued fossil-fuel investments. 1/

I’m advertising a student position to help with my project on the history of financialisation in postwar West Germany and France. It will mainly involve archival work and literature reviews. I’d really appreciate it if you could share it amongst your networks! www.hu-berlin.de/universitaet...

In a few weeks in Erfurt, we'll be looking back at the wild debates of the 1990s Science Wars from a fresh, global perspective–to better understand how science, politics, and public life got so tangled. Check the programme: www.uni-erfurt.de/philosophisc...
