My goodness I love geography and being a geographer.

Amazing few days at the Conference of Latin American Geography in Tucson, not even my subdisciplinary home, but everyone was so welcoming and inclusive. Great to be at a bilingual conference as well, and got really lovely feedback on some work that’s taking me in some new but fun directions I feel good about.

“Wood smoke is astonishingly harmful. Though only 8% of households in the UK (mostly wealthy ones) have a wood-burning stove, they release more small particulates (the most dangerous pollutants) than all the vehicles on the road. Even a modern, approved, “eco-friendly” wood burner produces 750 times as many fine particulates as a heavy goods vehicle.”

My burning shame: I fitted my house with three wood-burning stoves

Wood burners are awful for the environment and flood our homes with toxins, too. I wish I’d known that in 2008, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Very excited about the books I’ll be teaching from in my legal and illegal wildlife trade course this spring. Grateful to the authors for such inspired scholarship! (And UA library for making them available electronically for free to students ☺️)

Indian grasslands are threatened because they are misunderstood as "wastelands" - a colonial category that refers to their ability to produce revenue in an 18th century land tax system but is now taken by policy makers as synonymous with "degraded" land, thus making grasslands a target not only for conversion to agriculture, but also for plantation forestry and other forms of degradation. Fixing this will require undoing colonial mindsets https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/rec.13858

Due in part to political, economic, & climate instability around the world, there are currently ~1.6 million asylum cases pending at USCIS & EOIR. We took an extremely deep dive into the ~800,000 asylum cases in the courts.

Ciao!

I'm a political geographer and political ecologist interested in water governance, manufactured water scarcity and critical theory.

I am currently working on a book on the water crisis that will be published by Verso in 2023. Provisional title is "Thirst".

Lord they got a fusion reaction to work and at the top of the announcement was defense and insuring nuclear deterrence followed by more capitalist hokum. Lord help us, these people can weaponize anything. Imagine if the science we pay for was used for rather than against us sigh
