Do you wonder what a radically abundant university could look like? And how could we get there? Then check out our paper "Degrowth and decolonisation in academia: Intersecting strategies towards transformation" Now out in the community-run #Degrowth Journal: www.degrowthjournal.org/publications...

Den tredje artikel i min kommentarserie om dansk klimapolitik hos @altingetdk.bsky.social er ude her til morgen. Den handler om ulighed og vigtigheden af at tænke den sociale retfærdighed ind i klimapolitikken. 🌱 Den kan frit læses her: www.altinget.dk/klima/artike... #dkgreen #dkpol

De rigeste forurener mest. Det skal vi tale om, hvis vi vil løse klimakrisen - Altinget

En effektiv klimapolitik kræver, at der sættes ind dér, hvor klimaaftrykket er størst – og det er blandt samfundets rigeste, skriver Mads Ejsing.

Haha, fair nok. Men hun har i hvert fald opdaget, at spillepladen har ændret sig. Det er der stadig nogen inde i KEFM, der ikke har, skulle jeg hilse at sige. 😉

Klart, det er måske lidt uheldigt formuleret. Min pointe er selvfølgelig, at Inger Støjberg har forstået, at klimapolitk handler om social retfærdighed – men så kommer med det helt forkerte svar på den analyse. ☺️

Den næste artikel i min kommentarserie om klimapolitik hos Altinget.dk er ude i dag: www.altinget.dk/klima/artike... Skriver om det, som mange af os godt ved. At fortællingen om grøn vækst og 'økologisk modernisering' skaber flere problemer, end den løser. Det er tid til en ny samtale. 🌱

Thanks for your work on this. I do research on climate justice and citizen participation in the development of climate politics. Would love to be added! 🌱

Earlier today I wrote a short and personal piece about the struggles of life in academia as an early-career and untenured researcher. It seems to be resonating with folks over at LinkedIn, so thought I'd share it here as well: www.linkedin.com/pulse/darker... #academicsky

Over the past few weeks, I have been posting a lot of happy stories on this platform. I recently published a new book, I had a research article come out, and I am soon starting a new research project ...

Har skrevet om @madsejsing.bsky.social's nye bog 'Verden er ikke længere den samme' for Eftertryk. Hvor krydser klingerne egentlig mellem nymaterialister og økomarxister? Og er der et fælles projekt? Læs mit bud her: www.eftertrykket.dk/2025/01/12/k...

Through the case of a waste site from a chemical company in Denmark, the article shows why toxic pollution is often a tricky problem to solve, even when the environmental consequences might seem obvious. #envhum #geo #ecology

My new book about the climate crisis and theories of new materialism received a very kind review in my favourite Danish newspaper @information.dk today. Happy to see the book is alive and well-received out there. ☺️

They also have a nice little café. Although the prices are... well, it's Copenhagen. Ps. Feel free to reach out next time you're around if you have room in the calendar. I'm a big fan of your work, and I'm sure my research centre would love to host you for an event. ☺️

Thank you! It's called BRØG Litteraturbar. They have an incredible selection of critical eco-themed books, both theory and fiction. ☺️

In one of my favourite bookstores here in Copenhagen they put my new book about the climate crisis next to @jasonhickel.bsky.social. Not sure if this feeling is imposter syndrome or a sense of accomplishment?

Amazing. I'm also hoping that @runestahl.bsky.social and @bpoppmadsen.bsky.social will show up. But I assume the same sort of conditions apply here. 😉

Thanks, Mikkel. I really appreciate it. Would love to hear your thoughts on it when it comes it out. If you're free on December 5, I'm doing a little informal reception in Læderstræde 20 at 5pm. You're more than welcome. ☺️

Mads Ejsing @madsejsing.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

I have a new book coming out in Danish about the Anthropocene and theories of materialism on December 5. Although it's a tiny little book mostly aimed at students, I'm honestly quite nervous about contributing to the public 'intellectual debate' in Denmark. Tips and good wishes are welcome. 🙏

Yesterday, Danish politicians agreed to the world’s first carbon tax on the agricultural sector. That's great. Unfortunately, the agreement reflects much of what is wrong with Danish climate politics: instruments are too weak and it relies on technological fixes. #dkgreen #dkpol

Ah, thanks! How do the starter packs work? Are they simply a shortcut for newcomers to find people to follow? So if they follow someone in my field, they might use their starter packs and end up following me too?

I have wanted to write something like this since I first read Andreas Malm's 'The Progress of this Storm' in 2017 and felt that it set up poor conditions for a constructive dialogue between new materialism and marxist thinking. Let me know what you think!

Mads Ejsing @madsejsing.bsky.social · 28/12/2023

Fiiiinally received the first review on my book manuscript. A good one too. I chuckled a little at this line: "It is well written, clear and lucid and absolutely readable – not always the norm in the field of contemporary political theory." Now I'll have to wait for the infamous reviewer 2...

Mads Ejsing @madsejsing.bsky.social · 01/12/2023

Oh, I should have been clearer. I am currently waiting for the full manuscript reviews. :-)

Thanks, Finn Arne. I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I definitely recognize people around me being overstretched to the point of burnout. It’s sad we’ve gotten to this point, really. I’ll try to find some peace in the slowness of this process, and hope that it progresses soon. 😊

Hi Markus. A couple of quick questions: What research group/section would the succesful applicant be affiliated with? And do you have people at the department working specifically on climate policy/politics? (I couldn't find it in the overview of research groups). Thanks!

“What difference would it make if we were instead to apply the criteria that we usually apply to novels (or even more to poetry) to academic writing? (…) if we had to write our academic pieces as if they were poems, as if every word counted, how would we write differently?”

010

Mads Ejsing @madsejsing.bsky.social · 04/10/2023

Yes, I often feel that way about academic books too. It reminds me of a passage from John Law's After Method (2004), where he ponders on what it would mean for academic books to be picked up for the sheer pleasure of their reading experience.
