Fossil resource dominance is not only about energy - it is also about stuff. And increasingly so. In a new paper out in Competition & Change with @peternewell.bsky.social, we introduce to notion of synthetic capital to explore forces of fossil resource dominance that extend beyond energy.

Very excited to share the pilot article from my forestry project, now out in the Journal of Global History! In it, I try to interrogate the mechanisms of transimperial knowledge transfer through a look at the hiring and (brief) work of an international group of foresters in 1930s Dutch East Indies.

I'm delighted to share our schedule for the autumn for the Anthropocene Histories seminar at UCL. Poster attached, but I will put details and links to specific event pages below. Please share widely!
poster image: black with white text and the iconic photo, "Earthrise". The Eart is offset slightly to the right. Dates and details for three seminars are on the Term 1 schedule, but it makes much more sense to share them in the subsequent posts than to duplicate them all in the alt text here!

"Keep your mind in hell and despair not; you may be weaker than the whole world, but you are always stronger than yourself: it’s fine to read Love’s Work and its epigrams as good advice for living in extremis, but they also illustrate an approach to logic, speculation, dialectics."

How did Soviet economists go from trying to reform socialism to helping make capitalism possible? Reviewing three recent books, an upcoming essay by Anna Ivanova follows their uneasy path between loyalty to Marxism, market experiments, competition with the West, and “civilizing” the population.
