Reading the reports on ICE "detention facilities", it becomes quite clear and nauseous how the Trump administration, and its corporate affiliates, is once again seeking inspiration from South African colonial history - concentration camps, for that matter.

Hey, I have these postcards of my book's cover (by Vera Villanueva for Yale UP). I'd love to mail you one. Will you send me a screenshot of 1) your pre-order OR 2) your (free!!) request that your library purchase the book? And of course an address to mail it to.

Book cover for Seeing Like a Supply Chain: the Hidden Life of Logistics by Miriam Posner shows a colorful arrangement of lines that branch out as they descend.

My new paper is out in @antipodeonline.bsky.social! It contributes to ongoing debates on the current conjuncture and conjunctural analysis by placing the destruction of Gaza at the center. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Theorising the Conjuncture Through Gaza: Urban Destruction and the Intensification of Authoritarian Neoliberalism

This paper deploys a Gramscian theorisation of the conjuncture to argue that the contemporary global political economy is becoming constituted through the destruction of Gaza. It contends that Gaza's...

I first met Desiree in a bar in Leuven in 2016, at a finance & real estate conference, during my PhD. I did not even present, feeling "not ready" -NEVER do this. *Ten* years later, platforms have reshaped real estate/finance & I get to publish with her. Read it, we put a lot of work into this piece!

This 2026 India AI summit gives me 2015 Paris COP21 vibes. Lots of declarations, intentions, ethics, principles, joyful fireside chats, and congratulations. Last year, one person died every minute from rising heat.

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it. Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

In the course "Digital Capitalism" that I am teaching this term, next Monday session is on "AI". I feel completely overwhelmed by the amount of literature. What should I prioritise for a two-hour class? What should be the key messages? Good thing is, ChatGPT will handle it for me. Love it.

Call for PhD Student! I'm recruiting a PhD student to work with me on a project related to my Future Fellowship at Monash University on the political economy of insurance, risk technology, climate governance, and the crisis of uninsurability. Here's the overview of my fellowship.

A necessary analysis of polycrisis and its consequences must account for the industries, technologies, and policies that govern risks-and, crucially, how they engage in socio-technical processes of defining, predicting, and valuing risks. By synthesising the following objectives into a cohesive research program, this Future Fellowship aims to create essential empirical knowledge about urgent problems of insurability, which will inform new policy solutions and critical theories, all for the purpose of understanding and tackling the complex polycrisis at the nexus of insurance markets, risk technologies, and climate governance regimes. • Objective 1: Examine the design and construction of climate risk models by insurance industry and risk analytics firms to identify the assumptions, trade-offs, values, and goals built into these systems. • Objective 2: Engage directly with governments and communities at the frontlines of risk vulnerability to understand how abstract computational models and simulations connect to lived experiences and ground truth. • Objective 3: Develop new policies and frameworks for climate risk justice, which are informed by original empirical work and contribute to greater equity and security in risk governance. • Objective 4: Generate critical theoretical contributions that guide analytical and applied work about the techno-politics of risk governance in an age of global polycrisis. This fellowship advances our understanding of climate risk governance across three Workstreams. Workstream 1 will conduct ethnography at insurance industry conferences and with companies building climate risk models. Workstream 2 will engage in research with governments and communities who are managing the risks and realities of uninsurability from natural disasters. Workstream 3 will collaborate with a climate policy think tank to develop innovative policies grounded in original empirical research and conceptual analysis-that advance climate justice.

Back in the day people used to have a slide at the end of their presentations saying "and that's how the brain works" as an inside joke about Hinton since he was known to talk confidently out of his ass. Now, the Nobel committee brought this upon us like they give the peace prize to genociders.

Après 10h de vol, 1h de taxi, 1h de métro, 1 Eurostar, forcément - forcément - c'était la SNCF (que j'aime tant) le maillon faible pour ce retour en Europe. Train arrêté, aucune solution, aucun ravitaillement, aucune communication, je dis OUI!

Le niveau de prélèvements obligatoires agrégé n'est pas un paramètre pertinent de la politique publique. Vous pouvez penser que c'est trop ou pas assez en f° de vos préférences , mais rien ne permet de dire que c'est intrinsèquement trop haut (ou bas), juste par comparaison avec d'autre pays.
