Lovely review of Astrida Neimanis and Jen Hamilton's 'How to Weather Together' in 'Contemporary Political Theory'. 'this timely and touching book asks the reader to consider what weather means, how it feels, and how it is so much more then a mere temperature check'. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
