This year I'm excited to be working with a great group of student interns advancing our interdisciplinary project on self-organisation in planetary rings. Come to our showcase at InfoLab21 room C60b/c, Lancaster University UK, Friday 6 June, 13.00-16.00. ringmind.org.

I’m looking forward to doing a talk about deep, planetary time at the University of Southampton on 11 March, hosted by PIRS pirs.soton.ac.uk, Building 44, Room 1087, 12.00-13.00 - I'll argue that it's a far more complex and rich idea than recognised by either proponents or critics. All welcome!

Here's a summary: "attending closely to things that drift, whether living or non-living, can reveal something profound about the planet which gives rise to them and to their motion, and give us clues to a planetary ethic that extends beyond the human, the animal and even beyond the living".

A while back I did a performance of my 'Drift as a planetary phenomenon' for the excellent Panel on Planetary Thinking at the University of Gießen (www.uni-giessen.de/en/faculties...). They've now released the video (40 mins).
