My new article on “Risking Carbon Capital“ and "reporting infrastructures" for Economy & Society is online! It delves into the hidden abode of corporate climate accounting which became a key site in recent attempts to “green finance”. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

My new article on “calculative futures between climate and finance” for @TheSocReview is online! It analyzes the problem of stranded assets as a tragedy of multiple horizons and asks what kind of futures get foreclosed when financial horizons open. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Excited to share my 2023 Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) plenary! I take up the question of climate futures and how it can be made more central in human geog work on climate change + speculate on why it isn’t already. Thanks Colin McFarlane and Harriet Bulkeley for the invite! rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tr…

New paper on „Planetary Response-inability” coauthored with Nadine Marquardt in London Review of International Law. With Isabelle Stengers and others we ask what responsibility means if Gaia imposes a question on us but is not interested in our answer. doi.org/10.1093/lril/l…

Closing the symposium, Andreas Folkers and Nadine Marquardt trace the emergence of ‘the planetary’ and ‘responsibility’ and argue that different ways in which the planet presents itself as a problem also change the meaning of responsibility. academic.oup.com/lril/article/1…

Very glad that this is out! In the piece I argue that the value of fossil capitalization relies on a temporally inverted form of “original accumulation” (Marx) and how/if climate reparations can help to reclaim the stolen future.

Another drop from the SI on "Planetary Property" Alain Pottage and I co-edit for TCS. This time Anna Tsing's and Hatib Kadir's brilliant piece that shows why property is not a creature of the mud!
