So excited for this! Spoiler alert: I loved the book and can't wait to discuss it with @jennifer-clapp.bsky.social!

I don’t want my class to prepare students for ‘the real world.’

I want my class to help students dream of a better world.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

In a post-peak public engagement world where mainstream papers have dropped outlets like the Monkey Cage, what avenues exist for academics to get their work and insights in front of a wider public audience or directly to policymakers? A thread of examples from my own experience. 1/

I LOVE this essay by @patrickfreyne.bsky.social and agree with it all. (Personally i will be ditching my ridiculously brilliant, productive friends and finding some lazy losers instead) www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

We will be hiring 2 PhD students and 1 postdoc; announcements out soon!

As many of us are moving to this platform, I've created a list of researchers active in global environmental governance. It might be a useful starting point, and I'll continue adding to it as I discover more go.bsky.app/7sZRvzU

Come work with me in beautiful Basel! I am recruiting for a postdoc position (2+4 years!) in the governance of sustainable agri-food systems, focusing on the implementation of mandatory sustainability legislation in tropical agri-food commodity chains. Ideal start date: 01.08.24

Hell yeah!

Re-upping as the postdoc deadline approaches!
