Hostility towards #academia and #immigrants is widespread. #Denmark is no exception. Under political and media pressure, earlier this week @roskildeuni.bsky.social decided overnight to close its Master's degree in Business Administration and Leadership (BAL) from 2026.

For Danish-speakers, I have co-written an op-ed in @politiken.dk about Israels ecocide in Gaza and the necessity of thinking rising militarialism, imperialism and ecological crisis together. politiken.dk/del/Rg8Jg_AE...

Vi har en tendens til at tænke på krig og miljø som to adskilte problemer. Men krigen i Mellemøsten og de igangværende økologiske kriser deler en række af de samme underliggende strukturer.

1/10 Let's say you're a scientist, a retired scientist, a technician, a teacher of science, perhaps somebody who studied science at school or university, who then went on to work in a career with very little connection to science.

4. Lukas Bogner wrote a great piece on the role of law and transnational expertise in shaping the 'asset coding' of green finance that upholds many pillars of conventional finance (and hence limits its effectiveness)
