today at #JMU James Madison University in Florence we worked with #workshops to brainstorm how extreme climate events are not only affecting food production and agrarian economies, but impact our communities and political decision making.

the best part of doing research with food activists is that there is always good food before and after scientific talks 🥑

if 40 days is enough to build a habit, what are the effects of our family's #eating habits on our future #food choices and #political participation in general? 🍅

in this work, #lifehistories are a fundamental research method, especially if they can be visualised through virtual tools like #Mural

to teach Buddhist contemplation, Kondañña stated “everything that has the nature of arising also has the nature of ceasing” 🪷

the #impermanence of reality was one of the key elements of my #PAR approach and I discussed its implications this morning to the Associazione Italiana di Sociologia 🥕

4/4 to return them to the class, each group chose one and passed the ball of yarn to the other groups who shared the same problem 🧶 we thus represented a network of common interests within the food system.

3/4 listening to the different presentations, we identified the social groups involved along the food chains and we reshuffled the groups dividing ourselves into producers, sellers and consumers 🛒 identifying with their character, each group drew up a list of 10 problems related to their sector.

2/4 everyone thought of their favorite food and we divided ourselves into groups based on this choice 🍕 to follow, each group represented the supply chain of their favorite food from production to post-consumption.

1/4 today I held one of the orientation lessons at the Scuola Normale Superiore 🎓 we worked with three activities inspired by action research.

academia is based on precarious workers. on the eve of yet another university reform that plans linear cuts to research in Italy, we joined the march in Florence to protest against a war economy that finds money only to finance the genocide of the Palestinian people #generalstrike

it was exciting to be part of this year’s POE seminar 🌍 I had the opportunity to discuss @mgschmelzer.bsky.social and Olimpia Malatesta work on democratic planning

👉🏻 stay in the loop and follow POE - an interdisciplinary research program on politics, ontologies, and ecologies

this morning is 2 degrees on the hills in Impruneta ❄️
