Pleased to share the 2nd article from my PhD, published in City earlier this year, and co-authored with the wonderful @saanchi.bsky.social that engages with street vending as a form of urban inhabitation. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Street vending as urban inhabitation: materialities, epistemes, and city-making in Karachi and Mumbai

This contribution approaches street vending as a form of urban inhabitation. Our focus lies in illuminating street vending as an urban episteme: a vernacular practice that showcases intimate knowle...

Pleased to be making this change in Transactions - hopefully it will allow more space for citational generosity & care, all the more important in this world of AI & hallucinated references. Do have a read of our reasons for this move: doi.org/10.1111/tran...

TIBG@tibg.bsky.social · 3mo ago

📢From now, reference lists will no longer be counted in the 10,000 word limit for papers submitted to TIBG In our latest editorial, we lay out the reasons behind this decision & encourage prospective authors to reflect on their citational practices. Available to read here ⬇️ doi.org/10.1111/tran...

Screenshot of an editorial abstract in Transactions by Anna Lawrence, James Esson, Ben Anderson, Katherine Brickell & Beth Greenhough (2026) entitled: 'Citational politics in Transactions' with a red banner at the top. From now on, authors writing in Transactions will no longer be expected to count their reference lists within the 10,000-word limit. In this editorial, we take the opportunity to lay out the reasons behind this decision. Our purpose in removing references from the word limit is not to encourage authors to cram in as many references as they can to the detriment of their own voice, but rather to encourage practices of careful, conscious, and capacious citational generosity. Picking up on threads running through past editorials (Bailey et al. 2023; Esson et al. 2024), here we continue discussions of ‘care’ in scholarly publishing and what constitutes a ‘landmark paper’ within the discipline, this time through the lens of citational politics. This editorial proceeds by locating the decision within current debates around citational justice and citation as a reproductive technology (Ahmed 2013; Kim 2020), before considering the broader landscape of source discovery, reading and referencing in the digital/AI-crowded world, following the publication of the last ever print volume of Transactions in December 2023. We end with a discussion of how the practice of citation might be imagined differently, from the teaching of citation as a joyful praxis (Quave and Ohbi 2024) and the reflective insights collected around the #CiteBlackWomen movement (Smith 2022) to the rethinking of citation templates to better account for knowledge that sits outside of the Western episteme (MacLeod 2021). We encourage authors writing in Transactions to reflect on their own practices of reading and citing, and we highlight the role that journals, reviewers, and editors must play in moving forward with more inclusive citational practices.

Campus protests and civil disobedience: does academia have a problem with activism?

Scientists who join protest movements often find themselves at the centre of a media and political firestorm, causing tensions with some employers.

Khalid from our GOCEP group published a great paper about everyday scarcity, entrapment and erasure of time in Gaza: ‘Temporal ruination: Scarcity, entrapment, and the affective intensities of time in Gaza’

Great paper by Khalid Dader in @societyandspace.bsky.social looking at deliberate ruination of daily life in Gaza - the unstructured, unpredictable, and uninhabitable time; the infrastructural annihilation; the exhaustion, humiliation, and anticipatory dread. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Israel is turning Gaza city into an apocalyptic wasteland, and the world watches on. May the cries of desperation from Palestinians in Gaza forever haunt complicit state leaders who have not only allowed this to happen, but have willingly supported this extermination campaign for the last 2 years.

For all of the educators trying to deal with AI, I did a deep dive in early June and these are the four articles I decided to assign to my students. 1. This is the longest of the bunch, but so wonderfully comprehensive. www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1...

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

“Feminism has in fact offered a diagnosis, steadily, for decades and centuries: that the cause is misogyny and the violence is intended to perpetrate the inequality, exploitation and subordination of women.”

Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · last yr.

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."
