I took part in an @ippr.org Progressive Review roundtable with Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite and Tehila Sasson to discuss 'what was neoliberalism - and is it dying?' - transcript here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
What Was Neoliberalism—And Is It Dying?
Andy Burnham has promised nothing short of the end of “forty years of neoliberalism”. That begs the question: what is neoliberalism, really? A set of ideas, a policy paradigm, or something else? As p...

Wir - @annikate.bsky.social, Ute Tellmann und ich - haben uns Gedanken dazu gemacht, wie man Wasserökonomien neu denken kann und muss. Lest unser Bookchapter im gerade erschienenden Sammelbandbeitrag zur "Soziologie des Wassers" (Open Access verfügbar)! www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-8...

I have a new policy briefing out with the Centre for International Governance Innovation (#CIGI) called "Assetization: Anything & Everything?" - it's an introduction to #assetization + its implications for policymaking || www.cigionline.org/publications...
Assetization: Anything and Everything?
Anything that can be owned, and from which benefit can be derived, can be an asset. What do we need to understand about changing systems of valuation and ownership?

Habe mir jetzt nochmal den Originalvortrag von Irmhild Saake angehört und finde es am interessantesten, dass jemand, dessen gesamtes Theoriegebäude auf dem Funktionieren von Kommunikationen fußt, die Ursache des Problems immer wieder auf der Empfängerseite verortet www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryWd...

Veit Braun@toteraltermann.bsky.social · 2w agoDarin gründet sich auch der technokratisch-gehässige Gestus, mit dem Luhmann bei aller sonstigen Humorfähigkeit immer wieder seine Skepsis über Alltagsdenken und Weltverbesserungsprojekte äußert. Und mit dem hier vielleicht auch die Münchner Studis abgefertigt werden: www.zeit.de/feuilleton/2...
One of the sad things about the death of writing is that we are going to be taking life advice primarily from visually attractive people now who don’t know shit. ideally you want the world filtered through awkward homunculi filled with rage who know the plural of homunculus
Six years later, the COVID-19 dashboard feels like an obvious part of the pandemic. But how did this medium come to be so central to how we engaged with the health emergency situation? That question is the starting point for my recent (OA) @sthv.bsky.social article. doi.org/10.1177/0162...

Auch mir ist an diesem Sonntag im Sommerloch langweilig, weshalb ich den zitierten Diskurs und den, auf den er Bezug nimmt, hier kurzerhand unnötig verdoppeln werde:
IfS Frankfurt@ifsfrankfurt.bsky.social · 2w agoIst die Soziologie zu links? Wer das behauptet [...] verkennt das eigene Fach und betreibt das Geschäft seiner Gegner. Fügt sich die wortreiche Warnung vor der weltfremden Soziologie nicht allzu nahtlos in die Ressentimentkonjunktur unserer neoautoritären Zeiten? (1/10) 🧵
Das Buch ist da! Ganz vielen Dank an unsere Autor*innen, die das möglich gemacht haben. Ich freu mich riesig, dass die schönen Beiträge pünktlich zur Semesterpause aus der Box sind! www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

The long, doleful story of how the University of Kent sank. Can't vouch for all the details, but apparently it took 7yrs, £29m in restructuring and £2m in consultancy to accept the inevitable: effective takeover. My view? You can delay, but not avoid, the inevitable. shepwayvox.org/2026/08/05/u...

For six years the University of Kent cut jobs, closed subjects, sold financial breathing space and promised recovery. It spent £29.4 million restructuring itself and awarded at least £1.9 million o…

Check out the interview Santiago and I did with Hans-Peter Gruber about his biography of Felix Weil: on Argentina, marxism, revolution, the Frankfurt school, and Judaism. What a life he led! I’m jealous.

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...
