Imagine: a Palantir company town where everyone’s on gene therapy + ketamine and lives to 200, where each cul-de-sac gets its own nuclear plant and data center, where nobody’s a citizen + everybody’s a customer, where the owners are unregulated but everyone else is governed by Lumon-esque policy!

Do you conduct management research WITH rather than ON organizations? Are you working with workers, entrepreneurs, activists, or communities to conduct research together?

We want to hear from you because we are mapping co-created research in management studies.

Nearly a third (30%) of artistic directors and other creative leaders were educated privately compared with a UK average of 7%.

When China stopped receiving the world’s waste, Turkey became Europe’s recycling hotspot. The problem is, most plastics can’t be recycled. And what remains are toxic heaps of trash

Offsets are mostly a scam, and nobody should be talking about them as an alternative to emissions reductions. High quality offsets with verification are very expensive, but that's not what most people are buying. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
The Great Cash-for-Carbon Hustle
Offsetting has been hailed as a fix for runaway emissions and climate change—but the market’s largest firm sold millions of credits for carbon reductions that weren’t real.

What's the polite version of "Did you read the paper?!" in response to a reviewer's multiple comments?

Asking for a friend.

That friend is me.

Yes, I acknowledge that sometimes the issue is the quality of our own writing as authors and we are in a peer review crisis.
