Latest #OpenAccess article from FlexisProject social science research, exploring the complexities of defining 'local' energy systems, and how these complexities undermine any simple identification of 'local' with 'democratic' when it comes to energy. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excellent by @welshecon: call for future-oriented imagination within Wales to match the ambition of the Future Generations Act . Tho innovation, being social & technological, needs social intelligence too: see CynnalCymru's 'Wales We Want' programme that informed the FGA.

Here is the fundraiser I have set up for the late, great ⚫Neil Kulkarni who left us far too soon, leaving behind family including two daughters. Please give, share if you can. x gofund.me/f0d23137

Oh man ….Neil …. 🙏🏿… wow

It was very tough having to summarise, in a couple of thousand words the utter brilliance, as a writer and a human being, of Neil Kulkarni. But I've given it my best shot, here, for @TheQuietus. thequietus.com/articles/33777…

Kudos to ⚫Neil Kulkarni's beloved Coventry City.

Sadly, University of Kent has announced plans to axe a number of smaller departments, including philosophy. We perform well on all measures, including student recruitment. But smaller subjects have less clout and are easiest to cut. Help us shout out our value to the uni! They need to hear

So sad to learn of the death of Christopher Tilley the author of immensely influential works such as A Phenomenology of Landscape. We also co-edited a book and closely collaborated in Material Culture Studies at UCL. He will be much missed by his students, friends and colleagues.

Happy to confirm that this article has now been released from behind the paywall and is, indeed, #openaccess

Please stand in solidarity with us at Goldsmiths as we oppose huge job losses in social sciences, arts and humanities.

New paper published in Soc_Stud_Sci today! It argues that we need to think more cohesively about the emotions involved in sociotechnical imaginaries (the shared ideas & feelings we have about science & technology). Here's a thread of the main arguments 1/ doi.org/10.1177/030631…
