Pioneering scientists past and present have broken from the pressures and limitations of human exceptionalist thinking. Charles Darwin, Lynn Margulis, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Frans de Waal–their work looms large in my own research (1/3).
Congratulation, Christine, I cannot wait to read your book! 👏
I just got back from a workshop on "Multispecies Intellectual History" at the University of Oxford. Philosophy, history, physics, botany, anthropology, art, and other fields were represented in the discussions, and a publication on this is to be expected. Read more here: cas.au.dk/en/umih #envhum

To be a person of consequence is to matter. If you matter, you have rights, and your words serve those rights and give you the power to bear witness, make agreements, set boundaries. If you have consequence, your words possess the authority to determine what does and does not happen to you, the power that underlies the concept of consent as part of equality and self- determination. Even legally women’s words have lacked consequence: in only a few scattered places on earth could women vote before the twenti- eth century, and not so many decades ago, women rarely became lawyers and judges; I met a Texas woman whose mother was among the first women in their region to serve on a jury, and I was an adult when the first woman was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Until a few decades ago, wives throughout much of the world, including the United States, lacked the right to make con- tracts and financial decisions or even to exercise jurisdiction over their own bodies that overrode their husbands’ ability to do so; in some parts of the world, a wife is still property under the law, and others choose her husband. To be a person of no consequence, to speak without power, is a bewilderingly awful condition, as though you were a ghost, a beast, as though words died in your mouth, as though sound no longer traveled. It is almost worse to say some- thing and have it not matter than to be silent.

Some people have wished I wrote more about the bad old days of silencing and gender violence since I put up that Guardian piece about how normalized it all was in the 1970s-1990s, and, well, I did: Recollections of My Nonexistence. Here are some excerpts.
I'm really nerding out on this great critical history of GenAI in the @criticalai-journal.bsky.social : read.dukeupress.edu/critical-ai/...
Just what I needed to wrap my head around how AI can work for the humanities, and the need for more critical AI literacy and human-centered AI.
Book cover of Terres et Liberté:Manifeste antiraciste pour une écologie de la libération
Back cover of the book Text - Personnes non blanches, pauvres, femmes... sur les sujets cli-matiques, les plus vulnérables sont les plus touchés. Ce sont pourtant celles et ceux que l'on voit et que l'on entend le moins dans l'écologie politique. Ces personnes ne sont pourtant ni absentes ni muettes, elles sont simplement invisibilisées. Terres et Liberté veille à définir les principaux enjeux, sujets de controverse, champs d'action et luttes concrètes de l'écologie antiraciste contemporaine. En ce sens, cet ouvrage a pour objectif de répondre de manière inédite à une demande de grilles d'analyse et de perspectives en matière d'écologie politique et d'antiracisme, deux champs encore trop rarement envisagés conjointement.
Table of contents
«Écologies de la libération» est une collection plurielle qui donne à voir la complexité, les soubresauts et les tâtonnements propres aux esthétiques expérimentales dans les traditions antiracistes, décoloniales et écoféministes; un espace qui déploie les analyses documentées des auteurices de la collection, présentes dans le champ décolonial et/ou l'écologie politique; et qui veille à préserver la poésie, la singularité de la pensée et la sensibilité de ses auteunces. Plusieurs axes guident les choix éditoriaux: l'ancrage des ouvrages dans les luttes de terrain - pour s'appuyer sur ces luttes et en retour leur servir d'outils; la valorisation des savoirs situés et périphériques; le travail sur les esthé-tiques, les imaginaires et les utopies depuis les marges; et la défense de l'égale dignité humaine et des libertés fondamentales comme principes non négociables. Fatima Ouassak
This 2025 collection on the political economy of ecology and antiracism includes essays by brilliant scholars - Malcom Ferdinand, Arturo Escobar, Nadia Yala Kisukidi …
Edited by the most amazing Fatima Ouassak!
I hope it gets translated for the anglosphere and beyond!
