There is no evidence of a shift in the political attention paid to the environment in the aftermath of extreme weather events like flooding and wildfires.

Que faire face au déploiement incontrôlé de l’intelligence artificielle générative à l’université ? Une bataille stratégique s’est engagée parmi les enseignants, divisés sur l’attitude à adopter devant les changements qu’ils constatent.

I would have liked that Nicolas' paper existed when I was writing my PhD dissertation intro some years ago. Great discussion on how (some) historians of economics try to think the history of economic ideas!

It’s been brought to my attention that the Economist cover story is blaming Gen-Z socialism on “an influential group of socialist academics” led by @isabellamweber.bsky.social. Turns out Gen-Z got radicalized by … our analysis of corporate earnings calls. Huge if true!

Asking international organisations to “just follow the science” sounds great – not least in response to “anti-expert” pushback. But that defence fundamentally misrepresents how expertise and IOs relate. My new book asks: where does expert-centred international governance actually come from? 🧵1/7

It’s one of my favorite papers and it’s a nice one to have won because it exemplifies how I approach history of economics.
