I teach Human Geography at Cardiff University. My interests revolve around cities, authority, power, and aesthetics. I am particularly interested in experimental forms of academic writing, and creative and participatory methods.

I also occasionally find time for gardening/allotment, photography, music (piano & cello), and learning Portuguese.

I just created this account and figured I would introduce myself. I am a historian of #anarchism and the left in the Americas. As with twitter, I plan to use this account primarily to share interesting bits of #anarchisthistory.

I am writing my dissertation, titled “Love and Rage: Revolutionary Anarchism in the Late Twentieth Century,” which explores the revitalization of anarchism in the 1980s-90s. The dissertation draws from the Anarchist Oral History Project that I help run.

I'm currently writing a piece on anarchist anti-fascism in the 1980s-90s which I look forward to sharing more of soon.

You can find my writing at emptyhandshistory.com

📄📣 Our paper on #sensing #weather and #climate was just published in Environment & Planning F! A colleague and I had been working on this for YEARS.

The paper itself draws together the history of meteorology, media theory, and phenomenology to make sense of 2 ethnographies of sensing weather.

The paper is available here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/26349825231163144

Hi
Sadly our event was interrupted and then cancelled due to a violent police operation outside the building. It's breathtaking the extent to which state violence acts to destroy the possibility of communal life and solidarity in Maré. But residents fight on.
Isabel Barbosa is talking. Brazil does not have the death penalty. But the police come to the favela and execute people.
