Great to see my paper Disaster reparations? As one of @thegj.bsky.social’s top cited articles this year. It’s actually a fairly okay paper that I’m not mortified by you should check it out rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
The Geographical Journal | RGS Research Journal | Wiley Online Library
The paper takes steps towards the notion of disaster reparations by exploring affects generated amidst disasters. It argues that disaster reparations are premised on making sense of disasters through...

Incredible paper by @savannahcox.bsky.social in that extends our understanding of resilience through research into energy transitions in South Africa and the concept of infrastructural time! @geographers.bsky.social @manchestersci.bsky.social @cperguom.bsky.social
First paper from a new project on the politics of energy crises and transitions in South Africa is out! I use the analytic of infrastructural time to make sense of (1) how such crises emerge and(2) the specific formations of "resilience" developed in response.
