Les urbs modernes han estat guiades per l'higienisme, posant l'apertura al sol de les ciutats al centre de l'urbanisme i l'enginyeria. Però les onades de calor extrema obliguen a pensar sobre el dret a l'ombra. ✍️ @tscriado.bsky.social, @uocuniversitat.bsky.social

Benches are microcosms of an expansive debate about who belongs in urban public spaces. When they are removed or made uninviting, we lose more than just a place to rest. From journalist Gabrielle Bruney: "The Disappearance of the Public Bench"

A “Parasitology” of Interdisciplinary Collaborations: Theorizing the Add-on Role of Social Sciences and Humanities, Judith Igelsböck
Abstract Anita Välikangas’s analysis of a broad selection of interdisciplinary funding programs shows that the Social Sciences and Humanities’ (SSH) relegation to subordinate “add-on” roles with limited opportunities for epistemically oriented research in interdisciplinary projects, is already prefigured by funding structures. Beyond holding significant implications for research policy, this finding necessitates a critical reflection on the positionality of the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) within STEM-dominated interdisciplinary collaborations.
