What a tail!
I’m pleased to share my latest article in @uk.theconversation.com
It asks what overheated apartments, flooded rice fields, & invisible policy failures have in common, & how preventable harm becomes the slow violence of necropolitics in the Chthulucene.
Here's a short thread on some key points 🧵
new from @criticaltimes1.bsky.social:
special issue “Race & Caste: Hierarchy and Universality” on racialized & caste subjugation in Africa, South Asia, the Caribbean as well as anticaste & antiracist archives and scholarship - check it out (open access):

Cambridge University Press books stacked. Text overlay reads: "Amplifying voices: A new grant to help under-represented scholars publish."
Amplifying voices in History and Area Studies with the Cambridge Amplify Fund 📣
“We champion dialogue, welcome diversity of thought, and celebrate representation,” commented Valarie Guagnini, Head of EDIB at Cambridge University Press.

With her million$ smile Kirsty Duncan rebuilt our science+research infrastructure—and our morale—because she loved Canada with her whole heart. A light and an inspiration always, she showed us how to make real the multiple returns of inclusion with #DimensionsEDI + more. Her lum will lang reek 🥃
Circenses, or rather all eyes on the Colosseum…
It’s hard to fathom a 🇨🇦 without the light that is Kirsty Duncan✨ With her million$ smile she rebuilt our science + research infrastructure—and most importantly our morale. She led on inclusion and how, making real its promises with the #DimensionsEDI programme + more. Here’s tae ya dearest Kirsty 🥃
To see how Kirsty Duncan advocated for science, watch her TED talk or read her book, "The Exclusion Effect: How the sciences discourage women & girls and what to do about it"
Scientists must be free to learn, to speak, and to challenge, she said -- an even more vital argument now than then.
Une lumière s’éteint ✨It’s hard to fathom a 🇨🇦 without the light that is Kirsty Duncan. With her million$ smile she rebuilt our science + research infrastructure—and most importantly our morale. Always an inspiration. Your lum will lang reek for us dearest Kirsty, here’s tae ya 🥃

“We’re governed continuously, and unavoidably, by a complicated, interconnected and deeply enmeshed system of data-intensive platforms…
Big Tech companies should take accountability for the outsized role they play in our lives.”
Hmm.

A sophisticated intervention about the greater meanings of Thucydides’s Melian Dialogue, including the strategic value of #justice.

That's how long Meta's been blocking news in Canada.
Doesn't matter if the outlet is based in Canada, the U.S. or Germany – we can't read it. Small non-profit or legacy newspaper. Can't read it. Posts made before Aug. 1, 2023? Nope. But disinformation, AI-generated spam, that'll pass.
Agreed, Amartya Sen is a (the?) good reference here.
Canada has relied on U.S. science for decades - for health info, drug review, food safety, weather monitoring, and more.
As the US dismantles its science ecosystem @ntusikov.bsky.social argues Canada’s civil service cuts will put public heath at greater risk.

Yes. I noticed this too. Unacceptable on so many levels @theglobeandmail.com. In a country with a 50+ year Official Languages Act we should get the actual speech, in its entirety and original version. Signed, a physical paper subscriber…

A must-read thread for all who care about #democracy in Canada, too. Merci @alondra.bsky.social :
Social science research has shown that policymaking and governance operates through more than formal rulemaking processes. Regulatory power shapes markets through norms, expectations, and material conditions—often before any rule is written.

A beautiful symmetry that this story of the influence on the world of a #refugee of the #ArmenianGenocide— turned proud Canadian🇨🇦— is told by our foreign minister @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social’s equally talented homonym: @anitaanand.bsky.social!

@empirepoduk.bsky.social
Brilliant recounting by @willdalrymple.bsky.social + @anitaanand.bsky.social of a great 🇨🇦 story, too: as we fête the #RoaringLion ‘s return to #Ottawa, a gift
to share the refugee origins of the great #YousufKarsh —a story of empire, resilience, the power of art, and the promise of #Canada! Merci✨
That Musk and Sachs and other tech billionaires backing and working for Trump are white South Africans who left after apartheid fell is not a coincidence bsky.app/profile/coll...
Good. American excellence in science is the result of decades of federal investment in facilities and in training scientists. NCAR does not belong to the President. It belongs to all of us.
Bravo 👏 Proud to have published with a leader such as @universitypress.cambridge.org. The world’s oldest university press and oldest continuously-operating book publisher certainly knows a thing or two about the market—and the excellence diversity brings #DiversityDividend
