"Failures and Dilemmas" mini-conf. SASE 27-29.06 . with #MikolajPawlakUW and #PawelKubickiSGH -- How can we understand policy failures by taste? What conditions the palatability of policy domains – their appeal, acceptability, and affective response? . #FailureLabUW

New short film: lots of talking hands while thinking loud about failure regimes. Inspiring guest speeches #CatherineAlexander and #CosticăBrădățan. Great feedback from failure advocates! Thank you! youtube.com/watch?v=WVfZbz… #FailureLabUW #Socj.EkonPTS Uniwersytet Warszawski #IDUBatUW

The #WhiteRibbon campaign on the main gate of #UniversityofGlasgow. UK's leading charity engaging men and boys to end violence against women and girls. Addressing hidden and tacit forms of bias, as well as symbolic and material expropriation targetting women is still relevant!

Failure advocacy means going places and talking. March 2024, we met sociologists and anthropologists in Essex, London and Sussex. Lots of intuitions about new creative combos! youtu.be/FQHgHVphdJ4 #UWIDUB #FailureLabUW #UniversityofEssex #UniversityofSUssex #UCLAnthropology

Great news from „GLOBALIZATIONS” journal. . Our article on “FRACASOPOLICY: TOWARD A CRITICAL TYPOLOGY OF POLICY FAILURES” has been accepted for publication. It is based on socio-literature insights, such as Paul Auster, Irvine Welsh, & Albert O. Hirschman. Uniwersytet Warszawski #IDUB

Failure advocacy! Sharing models with students is always challenging because they manage to reveal our biases and press our fracaso buttons. Class with the “most progressive UNI” in Indonesia – UGM – to paraphrase students in an informal local conversation 😊

In the new article 'Fracasopolicy: toward a critical typology of policy failures' in Globalizations with Adriana Mica Gertrude Fraser & Paweł Kubicki we show that failure it is not what sometimes happens to policies but what is inherent in many policies. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

"Rodzaje życzliwości" to trzy historie zbudowane wokół pytań Do czego posuniesz się dla miłości? Czym jest śmierć? imdb.com/title/tt224081…

At very long last, Daivi Rodima-Taylor, Malcolm CV and my special issue of Politics + Space on ‘repoliticizing the technological turn in sustainability governance’ is out! Will do a proper thread on all the articles later, but for now here’s the intro (open access): journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

3 kinds of failure in our paper in Globalizations: 1) someone has to fail, (2) the failure that isn’t there and (3) everything we touch turns into failure. . Very lyrical and insightful collaboration! Thks #IDUBTandem! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… #FailureLabUW Uniwersytet Warszawski

Through "TASTE OF FAILURE" #IDUBUW we make the argument that it is time to render taste more central in the explorations of social sciences, and critical failure studies in particular. cess.idub.uw.edu.pl/en/2024/10/dr-… Uniwersytet Warszawski #FailureLabUW @IPSIR

At #FailureLabUW, we started looking into actors' explaining failure models as human existence. Phillip Seymour Hoffman's (2067-2014) habit of creating a crisis - the "will to fail and look like an ass", and to "humiliate" oneself in order to be good. youtube.com/watch?v=Hp7U9w…

Publishing contract with Routledge signed -"IRRATIONALITY OF POLICYMAKING FAILURE: OBSESSIONS, ELIGIBILITY & ABEYANCE" (with Mikołaj Pawlak & #PawełKubickiSGH Our favorite thing about doing failure research is that it will never get easier Narodowe Centrum Nauki youtube.com/watch?v=FQHgHV… 📷

Nairobi Failure Tour 2025 completed! Amazing ethnographic explorations with #BashirBello & #FrancisKerre. Our project on #TasteofFailure within #CESS @POB linking suffering theory with critical failure studies, & Kenyan writing on anti-colonialism and bitterness Uniwersytet Warszawski

Thinking back on it, it certainly makes sense that looking for the taste of failure would lead us to discover people contemplating the absence of it. Fieldwork and series of convenings in Nairobi 2025. #FrancisKerreKU Uniwersytet Warszawski #IDUB #FailureLabUW youtu.be/W_m6f63Jfa4
