We highlight some of the preconditions for social change in relation to what is generally considered to be acceptable, desirable, (im)possible and normal.

#Introduction I am an agrarian sociologist with an interest in the political economy of agrarian change and agriculture in South and SE Asia. My research looks at how rural people experience and navigate agrarian class structures. I'm motivated by the potential of an emancipatory anti-capitalist politics for just agrarian futures. #agrarian #agrarianstudies #ruralsociology #sociology #capitalism #anticapitalist #landgrabbing #livelihoods #agriculture #commoditychains #valuechains
First post here, excited about the potential of this platform. #agrarianchange #politicaleconomy #politicalecology #sociology #ruralsociology #geography #developmentstudies

I have gone looking for "my people", and lot of them are over there in mastodon.social, which I guess is where people land by default. But, it's silenced here due to poor moderation and requires some extra steps to find them and to follow them.

Hope #Scientists will eventually find homes in the science-related instances.
