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.

Hep. Det går løs på nettet i morgen og i printavisen torsdag. Jeg er begyndt som klummeskribent på Information. Det er jeg rigtig glad for, hvis jeg skal være ærlig.

Meget enig! @ppkzd.bsky.social er fremragende (også) som klummeskribent.

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

My colleague, MP Victoria Velasquez, has been boarded and unlawfully detained by Israel in international waters while attempting to sail food and medicine to Gaza.
I expect our government to demand the immediate release of Victoria and the other activists, and to condemn Israel’s crimes. #dkpol

Spørgsmål til følgere/medlemmer af @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social: Jeg skal undervise i videnskabsteori til næste år. Hvad bruger I andre som introduktion til marxistisk teori (eller endog marxistisk videnskabsteori)? 3.-4. semester, ikke filosofi-studerende! Helst dansk-sproget, alternativt engelsk.

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.

Thank you to @ilirisufi.bsky.social for this mindful and generous review of our edited volume, Language as an Ecological Phenomenon! ❤️
1/3 Just published my review of Language as an Ecological Phenomenon. 🌿 The volume redefines ecolinguistics by emphasizing “languaging”—the dynamic, social process of creating meaning—instead of abstract theories of language: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I’m interested in how decolonial writing not only resists empire in content but also ways in which it can unsettle the architecture of language itself. What happens when we write from the borderlands and between rupture and rhythm?#decolonisecreativewriting #decolonialthoughts

Looking very much forward to Wednesday where I host the one and only @sorenmau.bsky.social in @d-ias.bsky.social at @sdu.dk. Søren will lecture on "Marx and the body".

Do come by! Membership of @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social not required!
