If you'd like to what scientists working in institutions, grappling with norms of the profession, think about the enormity of what they know & the lack of commensurate action, listen to this by @thierryaaron.bsky.social What does the scientific community owe the public? What does it owes itself?

Kan I huske dengang, alle talte om parallelsamfund? Om det uacceptable i, at lukkede samfund "løste" problemer med kriminel adfærd uden om retsvæsenet?

On Thursday at 3 PM, I will give an online presentation on the corporeal turn in ecolinguistics. It is hosted by a wonderful lecture series at the University of Lille - Débats sur le débat - organised by Professor Paola Pietrandrea. Open for all! #ecolinguistics

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.” Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Der er ikke ét medie der har fulgt op på afmonteringen af Vollsmose & Gellerup. Beboerne genhuses 3-4 gange uden støtte eller forklaringer. De modtager kæmperegninger for el-og varme i lejligheder de ikke beboer & ingen hjælper. Det er flygtninge vi taler om.

Marxism is foundational to the discipline of political ecology, and yet in the past few years there’s been a notable decline of Marxist perspectives in the discipline’s leading conferences and forthcoming handbooks. 1/5

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

Ever wondered why there is no accessible book-length introduction to ecological economics and the political economy of transitions in Danish? I know I have, so I tried to write one. It is out tomorrow, asking how we analytically should approach whether it is too little, too late and who benefits.

Spørgsmål til følgere/medlemmer af @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social: Jeg skal undervise i videnskabsteori til næste år. Hvad bruger I andre som introduktion til marxistisk teori (eller endog marxistisk videnskabsteori)? 3.-4. semester, ikke filosofi-studerende! Helst dansk-sproget, alternativt engelsk.
