If you'd like to what scientists working in institutions, grappling with norms of the profession, think about the enormity of what they know & the lack of commensurate action, listen to this by @thierryaaron.bsky.social What does the scientific community owe the public? What does it owes itself?

Hey science fans get ready to doff your caps and put the kettle on for Hug a Climate Scientist Day! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Looking so much forward to welcoming @veronikakoller.bsky.social as my new colleague at @sdu.dk! I hope this will be a great opportunity to explore the connections between critical language awareness and #ecolinguistics! Welcome, Veronika!

A huge thanks to @repoole.bsky.social for organising the "Language and ecology in the Anthropocene" conference over the past few days. 🙏 It was a great ecolinguistics event, and it was an honour to be invited to give a keynote lecture!

I hoped for 100-150 attendees, but there are now 671 registered participants for this week's Symposium on Ecolinguistics. That is unbelievable! It's going to be a great event! #ecolinguistics

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.” Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Der er ikke ét medie der har fulgt op på afmonteringen af Vollsmose & Gellerup. Beboerne genhuses 3-4 gange uden støtte eller forklaringer. De modtager kæmperegninger for el-og varme i lejligheder de ikke beboer & ingen hjælper. Det er flygtninge vi taler om.

Marxism is foundational to the discipline of political ecology, and yet in the past few years there’s been a notable decline of Marxist perspectives in the discipline’s leading conferences and forthcoming handbooks. 1/5

Ever wondered why there is no accessible book-length introduction to ecological economics and the political economy of transitions in Danish? I know I have, so I tried to write one. It is out tomorrow, asking how we analytically should approach whether it is too little, too late and who benefits.
