Vladimir BogoeskiStill figuring things out, but here is a first #introduction : my name is Vladimir (he/him), I'm researching & writing about how #law shapes #labour relations, recently w/ a focus on #food production, mostly #migrant work in #agriculture & #meat industry in Europe. Ongoing project: labour in an #agroecological transition, looking into worker #self-management, #cooperatives, #commoning, transnational worker #solidarities. I enjoy critical #politicaleconomy & social thought. Based in #Amsterdam.
Frankly, big portion of my use of twitter were interactions with mutuals on all kinds of daily life happenings: lamenting our experiences as academics at the neoliberal university, critiquing academia and collectively imagining a better one; commenting daily political events, sharing inspiring scholarship or any types of readings, reading and exchanging thoughts on this racist, patriarchal, imperialist, capitalist world. It might take a while, but I'm hoping to find a similar community here.
alexheffron@bogoeskiv Well I found another escapee! Would love to chat to you more about the above sometime. I have similar questions to you. One Q I'm thinking about right now is how do you link up agricultural worker struggles between seasonal, migrant labourers and those involved in agroecology. How do people organise when they have no security and are treated as disposable? And tie this into land reform.
@alexheffron Alex, really glad to have you here. I am still not very active. I think linking these struggles for me is really the crucial questions and would be happy to be in conversation with anyone thinking or doing activist work around it. I am trying to develop a project around the issue, but progress is slow as it overlaps with my parental leave and the latter has the priority :) Would be happy to talk about this!
