Das ist ein sehr interessantes Interview darüber, wie sich Menschen in Minneapolis gegen ICE organisieren. In dem ganzen Wahnsinn gibt das zumindest ein kleines bisschen Hoffnung.
Insightful start to the Environmental Labor Confernce in Berlin. After a keynote by Cara Daggett (petromasculinity), I discussed changing contexts for labor environmentalism with Silpa Satheesh, Simon Schaupp and Stefanie Hürtgen: right-wing politics, fossil backlash, incr. workers' exhaustion.
Ich habe auf Ö1 zur Zukunft von Autoindustrie und Mobilität diskutiert; ein paar Tage kann das Gespräch noch nachgehört werden.
Ich freue mich auf die Veranstaltung "Zug um Zug" am 29.9., wo ich gemeinsam mit Verkehrsminister Peter Hanke, Gewerkschaftsvorsitzendem Roman Hebenstreit (vida) und CEO Hana Dellemann (Hitachi) über die sozial-ökologische Zukunft der Bahnindustrie diskutiere. Meldet euch gleich an.
Yes, that's true. We tried hard but failed. But I'm very happy to send the file once I'm back in office.
Our new article in @natclimate.nature.com shows that climate policy is not only failing due to a lack of political will (that too), but also due to the structural limitations of the liberal-capitalist state. State structures must also change #transformationstate 👇
Important new conceptual paper from the Institute of Social Ecology: Melanie Pichler and colleagues discuss how various framings around "demand-side" and "supply-side" policies obfuscate rather than clarify important issues in climate policy. #IPCC

Thanks. We haven't focused too much on financing renew. but more on cutting supply (regulatory or through pricing) for fossil fuels. We include regulatory supply-side in the industrial transformation perspective and pricing in the techno-innovation. Serious cap-and-trade would be in the middle...
New paper: I've become increas. irritated that reductions in energy use seem to be equated with *demand-side* strategies a l o n e and that *supply-side strategies* are often framed as technical solutions o n l y. We provide a more compreh. typology and challenge the dichotomy more generally 👇.
I wrote this about how the performative misunderstanding and escalations of social media have become endemic in politics and policing. Auf deutsch für @fm4.orf.at

Neli, du warst nicht nur eine brillante Wissenschafterin, sondern auch eine von den menschlich wirklich Guten! Es ist unfassbar traurig, dass du schon gehen musstest!
Mit 150 Teilnehmenden aus der Arbeiter:innen- und Klimabewegung und spannenden inhaltlichen und strategischen Diskussionen war die 2. Akademie für sozialen und ökologischen Umbau in der Stahlstadt Linz ein Höhepunkt unsrer diesjährigen Arbeit.

kaum zu glauben...
Gewalt, die ins Innere schlägt: Die serbische Polizei testete die Schallkanone LRAD 450 XL im November 2023 zuerst an Geflüchteten. Vor einigen Tagen wurde die Waffe gegen Studierende bei Demonstrationen in Belgrad verwendet.

Read this if you are interested in strategies against fascism. I try to do my part in research (on power dynamics, on eco-social policies, on climate-workers coalitions) but read especially point 4 because in the end it's about emotions and warmth - especially when it feels hopeless.
For academic course development: does anyone know interesting readings on socio-ecological #collapse (both historical examples and contemporary conceptualizatons)? All (inter)disciplinary backgrounds welcome.
PhD position (75%, 4y) on political dimensions of social-ecological transformations (e.g., conflicts, power relations, sructural barriers or potentials in specific sectors/countries). Please share widely and contact me for any queries. Deadline: 6th Jan 2/2

screenshot of first page, abstract reads: Despite an ever-growing critical literature, vulnerability retains its place as a dominant concept in climate politics. What is less heavily researched is the concept of “invulnerability,” an idea that feminist and decolonial theory has many tools to critique. After unpacking the material and discursive elements of vulnerability politics, this article focuses on invulnerability as a concept that is an influential yet unexplored set of masculine and colonial fantasies. These fantasies – of modernity, mastery, and continentalism – are critiqued through different critical traditions, which are brought into conversation with climate politics literature. I then discuss the counternarratives of Oceanic thought, following Teresia Teaiwa’s prompt to “island the world.” I argue that this can be done through a focus on care, relationality, and a decolonial politics of resistance. I conclude that resisting the politics of vulnerability requires an engagement with critical feminist and decolonial thought to enable an imaginative piercing of the fantasies of invulnerability.
New article! I'll do a thread / blog soon, but it's out, and it's Open Access!

Interesting findings on the links between far right electoral turnout and reduced access to public services. Let's talk much more about public services than about migration!
