Great to see this piece out! Drawing on her PhD research, Yihan Yan shows how media discourses shape views of dog ownership in Chinese cities + how it becomes a problem to be managed. Really interesting work on more-than-human geographies & the right to the city! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Problematizing pet dogs: media discourse, nonhuman governmentality and everyday multispecies coexistence in Hangzhou, China

Pet dogs have become key sites of urban conflict as cities seek to regulate more-than-human life, yet we know little about how media in China problematize them and how these framings are lived and ...

Orbán came in on a landslide and he’s going out on one. So much work to rebuild what these last 16 years have crushed, but this is a great night for Hungary.

16 years of rightwing rule has ebbed away at citizen rights + it happened from the beginning. Yet, it’s important to remember that many failures were manufactured, and resistance was ongoing and has worked towards overcoming a seeming no alternative consensus onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Includes our UoM-CARA fellow colleague Wiesam Essa. We’d often joke about the Manchester weather. Colleagues had found another post for him when his university and apartment was bombed in Jan 2024.

REMEMBERING GAZA SCHOLARS A group of academics have spent the past 18 months creating an archive that commemorates the lives of Palestinian scholars killed by Israel. 83 of our colleagues, so far, have bios; the group's work continues rememberinggazascholars.org

This archive is produced by a group of academics to honor and commemorate these lives and those of the many other teachers and researchers in higher education murdered in Gaza during the genocide perpetrated by Israel and its patrons, especially the United States. They were members of the global intellectual community, and we are all impoverished by the loss of their contributions that would have enriched the worlds of the humanities and sciences. The liquidation of these colleagues squandered the many years of higher education and training they embodied, often acquired with great personal and collective effort. The death of so many of our colleagues is a massive blow to higher education in Palestine: they were the teachers of the rising generation who were to take their places as the writers, theologians, social scientists, engineers, and doctors who would help to weave the social fabric and develop the world of knowledge in Palestine. We record their lives in a spirit of grief for their loss and admiration for their accomplishments and to demand that their killers face accountability for their crimes.

Anyone remember ZNET? Back in the mid 2000s I wrote a number of articles there on South Korea about migrant labour, precarious work, free trade agreements, and more. They were offline for years and I didn't save any copies. The site is back up so I've downloaded them and put them up on academia.

Coupang has been flying an American flag of convenience and cosying up to MAGA. The latest salvo is a letter cosigned by 56 Republicans. Is this the new shape of globalization: Maga-adjacent geopolitical positioning to leverage the US state to help protect domestic tech monopoly rents back home?

Students also ran their own research projects across the week. Interviews, observation, field notes and it was great to see their semester’s worth of prep materialise into fieldwork and initial findings!

The visit to L'Olivera was a highlight of the week. A worker cooperative producing wine and olive oil in a model that integrates people with disabilities as full cooperative members, not as recipients of charity but as owners of the enterprise.

I don't normally post FT content, but, wow, this article is excellent! Surveys a range of actors, initiatives, and critics active in this space. It can feel niche teaching about this so great to see it covered in a single article. #startupcities #blockchain #cryptobros #neoreaction #chartercities

Tech elites are starting their own for-profit cities

They want to escape from regulation and ‘failing’ democracy — but are they more opportunistic than libertarian?
