We are kicking off the ‘Blackwards’ to the Future project in Phoenix with these powerhouses. I’m trying not to get too excited because we have had false starts before but the energy in the room is palpable. Actually, too late, I am super excited to be working with this group.

Just the essentials for spending the afternoon reviewing a student’s thesis: highlighter, pens, stickies. Cheese platter.
Is sustainability thinking too WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic)? New article by Rachelle Gould, Yolanda Jimenez Naranjo and @pattybal.bsky.social
Didn’t think I needed another dystopian sci-fi to kick off my summer reading, but Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's “Chain-Gang All-Stars” proved me wrong. Gladiator fights for prisoner freedom in a privatised US prison system? Uncomfortably plausible.
🆘Help us document and make visible the struggles for environmental justice!
The EJAtlas from ICTA-UAB is a tool to document environmental conflicts and visibilise the impacts that the extractive economy generates.

In 1823, during his Black Painting series, Goya painted "Duelo a garrotazos", translated as "Duel with Cudgels". The painting depicts two men violently striking each other with cudgels while seemingly trapped in a muddy or barren landscape, often interpreted as an allegory of civil strife.
Thrilled to be part of this watershed moment in the field of social-ecological systems research. Coinciding w/ the launch of SocSES earlier this year, this publication takes stock of how far we've come as a community and the possibilities that lie ahead. ecologyandsociety.org/vol30/iss2/a...
I am, of course, of no help but thanks for the validation! I’ve been having the same wide range in quotes: Booking starts at $50, the rental car company starts at $700.
Of course! I was happy to support this effort. I am still waiting for the patio weather but yes, let’s make this happen.
The BEING BLACK IN PUBLIC survey report is out—a powerful act of testimony, care, and visioning, released on the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder. Led with such honesty, rigour, and heart by my brilliant colleague @jaypitter.bsky.social. Dig in, reflect, share.
I love the ferns. We plantef some a couple of years ago. They look nothing like yours but I still have hope.
When in doubt, plant some more native plants.
Community-rooted visions of the future are critical in uncertain times. I'm continually inspired by the work of this group of dedicated, uncompromising, and visionary organizers in the Waterloo Region. It's been a pleasure to support them, even in small ways. onemillionneighbours.ca/vision/
A good read if, like me, you feel you are trying your best and your best is simply not good enough.
Here for you!

ArizonaForward recognized our arts-science collaboration AMBIENTE with the Environmental Excellence award. Working with these folks has fed my soul in so many ways and it's just wonderful to watch, even from a distance, the accolades roll in. Find out more: www.thesagrado.org/ambiente-pub...
A lot of great urbanista and place-makers will be in Toronto this summer:
👀 The new Society for Social-Ecological Systems (SocSES) is launching on March 27. This will be an academic home for inter- and transdisciplinary sustainability scholars. Link to registration below.
Feeling for my colleagues south of the border. Yesterday we received a stop-work order on a new NSF grant. Last week, my friend’s name appeared on a list identifying professors who were “DEI hires”. It hasn’t been a month.
Ecosystems and People (@esandpeople.bsky.social) is now on this space! We are an inter- and transdisciplinary journal on biodiversity, ecosystems & quality of life. Give us a follow!
New publication led by Vanya Bisht and our group of community partners from South Phoenix where we outline the ‘barrio’ innovation, our way of co-producing knowledge to advance environmental justice. #CAPLTER doi.org/10.5751/ES-1...
Thanks to whoever made this labyrinth next to my campus building. It was a gift to take 10 minutes to walk through it and disconnect from whatever stage of late capitalism we are in. 🤍❄️
