For those of you wondering what I'm currently up to... Learning lots already. Still pinching myself that I get to do this for three years. Speak to me anytime about needs, voice, poverty, activism.

By radically overhauling dominant conceptions of the language of need, @georgeboss.bsky.social @qmul.bsky.social, reframes needs-claims, investigating whose are heard and whose are silenced. Read now in our Annual Review: www.flipsnack.com/leverhulmetr...

Excited for this one: workshop @ QMUL on work, needs, and their connection. Bringing together political theorists and researchers across geography, political economy & more to ask how we assess work beyond the size of the paycheck — dignity, security, purpose, flourishing? 📍Graduate Centre GC101

Our issue on Public Political Philosophy is out in the world! tinyurl.com/PublicPolPhilo We asked about the gap between political philosophy and everyday politics: why it’s there, how to close it, whether we ought to. The answers were engaging, rigorous, exciting, often surprising. Do take a look!

Yay for physical copies of the book (one day late for the first book talk, but never mind)! The thing is open access (as per funky open padlock symbol on the front cover doi.org/10.4324/9781...), so can't imagine too many of these will find their way into the offline realm

Wonderful day talking about the book back at Bristol, where it all started!

It’s book launch day! Marx & the Politics of Need is out today, available open access. I hope it sparks ideas and conversations. Dive in here: doi.org/10.4324/9781...

Rebecca Buxton@rebeccabuxton.bsky.social · 7mo ago

It's officially publication day for our book, The Way Out. Sam and I have worked on this since we first put our heads together in 2019, and it's fair to say that the context shifted under our feet as we were writing and thinking. www.ucpress.edu/books/the-wa...

We are excited to announce that we have four great topics lined up for our Spring Working Groups, beginning on January 29th with Anton Bronfman (Central European University) who is presenting Mystifying Possibilities: Towards a Conceptualization of the Diplomatic Mystique.

Welcome @georgeboss.bsky.social to BlueSky! With a new book coming out (www.routledge.com/Marx-and-the...) + a Leverhulme Fellowship about 2 begin I'm sure there'll be lots of people keen to follow what he's up to e.g. @rebeccabuxton.bsky.social @brunoleipold.com @alixdietzel.bsky.social...
