Thanks a lot Max! A small preview here citing your work :)

Special thanks to the members of @scientistrebellion.bsky.social who I interviewed, and to the wonderful people who have reviewed the book: @jksteinberger.bsky.social @charliejgardner.bsky.social @wolfgangcramer.net @jenniecstephens.bsky.social @farhanasultana.com @lauralohorn.bsky.social n/n

It is also an exploration of the many ways in which academic institutions today are complicit in colonial and capitalist systems of oppression, and of how academia could be transformed to become an environment that fosters socio-ecological transformation. 4/n

The heart of it is an in-depth look at what it means for scientists to leave the comfort of the ivory tower, and step out into the streets. In other words, how scientist-activists come to change themselves even as they attempt to change the world around them. 3/n

The book comes out Oct 28th. And from mid-Nov to mid-Dec I'll be participating in book events across Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Switzerland, UK, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and France. I'm so excited to talk about the book with people interested in learning more about scientist activism. 2/n

Welp, it's here! Advanced copies of Science in Resistance have just arrived. Thanks a lot to the team at @ucpress.bsky.social for sending them.

And related news: I'll soon be going on a train tour to give talks and readings of this book - more info below 1/

Do you wonder what a radically abundant university could look like? And how could we get there?

Then check out our paper "Degrowth and decolonisation in academia: Intersecting strategies towards transformation"

Now out in the community-run #Degrowth Journal: www.degrowthjournal.org/publications...

How did @scientistrebellion.bsky.social emerge & spread so quickly? My new book @ucpress.bsky.social, documenting the evolution of this movement, will be out in Oct & includes interviews with SR members from around the world. Half the proceeds go to SR & allied groups www.ucpress.edu/books/scienc...

Jeppe also gave us an account of the evolution of DGUB and an inside look into his publishing house and the cooperative eco-farm Muld, where he lives. Thanks to both Mikkel and Jeppe for an engaging and mind-opening session! 4/n

The lecture was centered around discussion of the 2015 article “Imaginaries of Hope: The Utopianism of Degrowth” byKallis and March, as well as Le Guin’s essay “A Non-Euclidean View of California as a Cold Place to Be”: cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/sites.ucsc.e... 3/n

Together, we discussed how to work towards utopias in the here & now as well as the role of the imagination and practices of care in degrowth. We wrote our visions of utopia in a futuring exercise & delved into sci-fi works incl. The Dispossessed, Always Coming Home & The Ministry for the Future 2/n

*A lecture on Degrowth Utopianism*

This week was session 3 of our #Degrowth and Socioecological Justice course at the University of Copenhagen. This time, the course featured Assoc. Prof. Mikkel Frantzen, with Jeppe Svan representing @dengroenneung.bsky.social & the publishing house Økotopia. 1/n

How can we organize along principles of sufficiency & conviviality? The summer session of our NSU Study Circle on #Degrowth & #Exnovation w/ @kristiinav.bsky.social is now open for registration. Let's discuss ways to build community while dismantling fossil capitalism!
