Looking forward to traveling back to Belgium this week to give a keynote at the XXVI International Conference of the Society for Human Ecology, and see some dear friends!

the Urban Institute at Sheffield is one of the few remaining places in the UK where truly wild thinking is still alive and kicking, against all odds. It's an honour and pleasure to be able to pay tribute to them.

🙏 very kind!

Hace unos días supimos que esto se viene por fin en 2025 de la mano de Editorial CSIC. Ilusión y agradecimientos infinitos. (La portada es una maqueta provisional.)
For the opportunity to present at this celebration and have Professors Steven Shapin and Simon Schaffer respond to their work in conversation with Professor John Tresch, early career scholars are invited to send abstracts of max. 200 words. For more details go to: www.ucl.ac.uk/sts/news/202...

Just using my first post here to thank my amazing hosts (Pedro Moscoso & Antonia Viu, Felipe Palma, Manuel Tironi, and Feilpe Lagos) in the trip across Chile from a few weeks ago. Absolutely full of generative conversations with friends and brilliant work by bright, thoughtful emerging scholars.
