Ecological language scientist, who draws on radical embodied cognitive science and Marxist anthropology. Working @ University of Southern Denmark & Danish Institute for Advanced Study. Dad, husband, and slow racing cyclist.
Next week, I will give a keynote on "Language, Ecology, and the corporeal in-betweens" at The University of Alabama's "Language and Ecology in the Anthropocene: A Symposium on Ecolinguistics" - a fantastic virtual event organised by @repoole.bsky.social. I look very much forward to it!

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Der er ikke ét medie der har fulgt op på afmonteringen af Vollsmose & Gellerup. Beboerne genhuses 3-4 gange uden støtte eller forklaringer. De modtager kæmperegninger for el-og varme i lejligheder de ikke beboer & ingen hjælper. Det er flygtninge vi taler om.

Marxism is foundational to the discipline of political ecology, and yet in the past few years there’s been a notable decline of Marxist perspectives in the discipline’s leading conferences and forthcoming handbooks. 1/5

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

Last week, I hosted two exciting #ecolinguistics events at @sdu.dk.
First, Martin Döring (University of Hamburg) presented his work on the usage of ecolinguistic methods in studying local engagement in coastal protection in the Wadden Sea area.

Ever wondered why there is no accessible book-length introduction to ecological economics and the political economy of transitions in Danish?
I know I have, so I tried to write one. It is out tomorrow, asking how we analytically should approach whether it is too little, too late and who benefits.

Excellent take on AI and class control!
There's a larger Capitalism's Productivity Myth at play. Technological developments aren't simply driven by productivity increases; productivity is always intertwined with managerial interests, by class power.
Tighter control and labor intensification look like productivity increases to capital 1/n

How does Radical Embodied Cognitive Science relate to Marxism?
In a recent preprint, I discuss this question at length, drawing on work by @tonychemero.bsky.social, @sorenmau.bsky.social, @edbaggs.bsky.social and many others.
