Den tredje artikel i min kommentarserie om dansk klimapolitik hos @altingetdk.bsky.social er ude her til morgen. Den handler om ulighed og vigtigheden af at tænke den sociale retfærdighed ind i klimapolitikken. 🌱 Den kan frit læses her: www.altinget.dk/klima/artike... #dkgreen #dkpol
De rigeste forurener mest. Det skal vi tale om, hvis vi vil løse klimakrisen - Altinget
En effektiv klimapolitik kræver, at der sættes ind dér, hvor klimaaftrykket er størst – og det er blandt samfundets rigeste, skriver Mads Ejsing.

Den næste artikel i min kommentarserie om klimapolitik hos Altinget.dk er ude i dag: www.altinget.dk/klima/artike... Skriver om det, som mange af os godt ved. At fortællingen om grøn vækst og 'økologisk modernisering' skaber flere problemer, end den løser. Det er tid til en ny samtale. 🌱
Anmelder @madsejsing.bsky.social s bog “Verden er ikke længere den samme” i dag i @atlasmagasin.bsky.social . Hvis du ikke allerede abonnerer, er det en god anledning til at få indblik i det fantastisk kulturmagasin.
»Det er ikke længere klart, hvad det vil sige at omvælte kapitalismen«
Skarp og tilgængelig indføring i nogle af de vigtigste debatter på den intellektuelle venstrefløj i disse år.

Earlier today I wrote a short and personal piece about the struggles of life in academia as an early-career and untenured researcher. It seems to be resonating with folks over at LinkedIn, so thought I'd share it here as well: www.linkedin.com/pulse/darker... #academicsky

My new book about the climate crisis and theories of new materialism received a very kind review in my favourite Danish newspaper @information.dk today. Happy to see the book is alive and well-received out there. ☺️
In one of my favourite bookstores here in Copenhagen they put my new book about the climate crisis next to @jasonhickel.bsky.social. Not sure if this feeling is imposter syndrome or a sense of accomplishment?
I have a new book coming out in Danish about the Anthropocene and theories of materialism on December 5. Although it's a tiny little book mostly aimed at students, I'm honestly quite nervous about contributing to the public 'intellectual debate' in Denmark. Tips and good wishes are welcome. 🙏
Yesterday, Danish politicians agreed to the world’s first carbon tax on the agricultural sector. That's great. Unfortunately, the agreement reflects much of what is wrong with Danish climate politics: instruments are too weak and it relies on technological fixes. #dkgreen #dkpol
New op-ed (in Danish): Denmark's new climate policy for agriculture has been praised as progressive in international media. But in fact, the policy maintains the country's massive industrial animal husbandry and relies on speculative tech and voluntary carrot-measures. politiken.dk/debat/debati...
Anyone else experiencing a rapid increase in incoming followers these days? What is going on exactly? And should I be feeling performance anxiety at this point? #AcademicSky #NewSky

Fiiiinally received the first review on my book manuscript. A good one too. I chuckled a little at this line: "It is well written, clear and lucid and absolutely readable – not always the norm in the field of contemporary political theory." Now I'll have to wait for the infamous reviewer 2...

Enjoying this place so far, but still having a bit of trouble finding people to follow. Particularly interested in connecting with fellow political theorists/geographers/sociologists/anthropologists working on climate justice-related stuff. 🍃 #polisky #poltheory #envhum #climatesky #contentiousky
#HiSky Do we do introductions in here like the elephant place? If so, I am postdoc from University of Copenhagen doing work on democratic theory and climate justice. Looking forward to connecting with fellow scholars and activists! 🌱 Ps. Here is a soothing photo from my recent trip to Norway.
