iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Finally out! Every work we publish is precious. But I have to say that I am particularly proud of this one. Because it offers a truly innovative approach to transnationalization from the perspective of weakening collective identification in digitally configured movements, bringing in emotions.

ASA has won a major victory for academic freedom. As part of a coalition represented by @democracyforward.org, we defeated the Dept of Ed’s attempt to get school districts to censor lessons, abandon student support programs, and certify compliance. Read more: bit.ly/4qKGo2U.

Time to share some news I've been sitting on: starting in January, I will lead a @dfg.de Emmy Noether Group at @weizenbauminstitut.bsky.social! We will investigate how local public spheres are constituted under conditions of digitalization & globalization. www.weizenbaum-institut.de/en/research/...

💡 Publication alert! @icsjournal.bsky.social Based on interviews with youth activists in FFF Turkey and Israel, we explore how local conditions can complicate transnational collaboration — and how the “weak ties” that make connective action possible can also make it fragile.

The introductory chapter I wrote together with Barbara Pfetsch on theories and conceptualization of conflict and space is finally out! doi.org/10.4324/9781... We explore how spatiality is shaped by social conflicts and conflicts shape space building on the great work at @sfb1265.bsky.social !

First, in a chapter together with B. Pfetsch, @zozanbaran.bsky.social and @anniewald.bsky.social, we conceptualize how lines of both conflict and solidarity in contemporary climate justice (and really, most other types of) social movements are spatially structured. doi.org/10.4324/9781...

Screenshot reading: ABSTRACT

Climate change exemplifies the complex spatial patterns of contemporary social issues. It spans across scales from global to local, is inequitably distributed regarding responsibilities and impacts, and connects heterogeneous actors. The notion of climate justice highlights these uneven spatialities. This chapter reflects on the spatial dimension of climate justice conflicts and solidarities. It argues, first, that local climate justice conflicts can be interpreted as spatial conflicts arising from the tensions between different spatial figures, namely, territory, place, trajectory, and network. Second, the chapter identifies spatial dimensions of solidarity and conflict in climate justice movements: between center and periphery, between local and translocal, and across scales. These considerations are brought together in a conceptual model of the actor and issue spaces of climate justice movements. Key aspects are illustrated using observations from two field trips to the coal-mining area of western Germany and to the oil- and gas-drilling region in North Dakota, USA.

I wrote about Grok going "MechaHitler" over at X, and the need to view LLMs correctly: as remarkably powerful plausibility engines. Their AGI marketing and the strong inclination to project human qualities to anything that can speak is misleading us. NYT gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/o...
