Today's session on the responsible use of AI in geography for incoming Master's students showed that:
a) students are using AI, and
b) they would like much clearer guidelines (and guidance). Simply telling them not to use it because it's evil will not be sufficient.

In 2022 the High Grand Falls Dam was announced by UK and Kenyan governements, to irrigate 400,000ha and produce 1 GW. By 2025 it was cancelled again. What remained in the region was no material change, but the violence of broken promises impacting future-making and everyday actions of those affected

Hey Bonn/Cologne people. The KritGeo group at our department is hosting an event next week that speaks for itself in terms of urgency or relevance.

Really happy to see our article in JPE! In it, we discuss the 'non-economy of anticipation', a double vision in the construction phase of infrastructure, where future promises collide with the actual realities of implementation. We show how this leads to apathy and infrastructural violence.

Oh I love these! Political communication at its best. The one photo taken in the rainy season, the other taken in the dry season. I mean how could a month matter in a semi-arid area? The link in the post takes you nowhere and when we research Ecosia activities in Ethiopia we get absolutely nothing.

Claim-making in hydrosocial spaces. We have a new article in Area discussing the temporality of displacement!
Using the heuristic of 'time knots', we discuss in the article how 'legal forum shopping' is being used by government institutions to make claims on dam reservoirs and adjacent lands. 1/2

I love how Seth Oliver‘s banner remained from the previous session to put some activism into background when discussing the futures of the anticipation discipline @ Anticipation 2024 in Lancaster

"[...] the same height as the iconic Euromast landmark in Rotterdam, which resonates as a scale figure with the Dutch" (Hujbens & Benediktsson 2021)
not to hurt anyone's feelings, but this is the most depressing scale figure I could have imagined
