Dearest Fediverse (and apologies for the absence),

my book "Hard Work: Producing places, relations and value on a Papua New Guinea resource frontier" was just recently published in full digital open access. (Print-on-demand and oa epub out soon!)

https://hup.fi/site/books/m/10.33134/HUP-29/

"Hard Work explores the complexities of natural resource extraction, looking at both large-scale processes and personal human-environment interactions. It combines a political ecology focus on the connection between environmental issues and power relations with a focus on how value is produced, represented, and materialized."

Helsinki University Press

Helsinki University Press (HUP) is a fully open access University Press, publishing high-quality scholarly literature. We publish peer reviewed books and journals from all academic fields. We are open for submissions by academics globally. HUP offers professional publishing services for the academic community, and a channel to publish and disseminate their research results effectively, fairly, and globally. Our aim is to bring research available to international academic audiences including readers in the Global South, but also outside academic institutions where accessing research behind high paywalls can be a major challenge. “It was a pleasure to work with Helsinki University Press. They collaborated with us every step of the way, and also supported the junior scholars involved in the project. The result is a carefully published (and beautifully produced) book.” – Professor Josephine Hoegaerts, University of Amsterdam,editor of Finnishness, Whiteness and Coloniality
