This is wonderful ..,
‘AI is not inevitable’ … how and why to push back!!
They called her a mad cat woman and tried to destroy her reputation. Then they dragged her through the courts and tried to destroy her life. But @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is standing tall and continues telling the inconvenient truth. A must see.

Thrilled that my article 'What is (the) Matter with Climate Litigation?' has been published
Open Access in JLS: lnkd.in/gYCCiTck
I contest several new materialist approaches, and discuss how law conceives of ‘matter’.
It is the opening of a larger project on law & nature.

I was privileged to accompany Watna Mori & Fleur Ramsay to Veraibari, Papua New Guinea, as they prepared for this ICJ case last month. So much riding on ICJ Advisory Op - not least the futures of many island states, peoples, and cultures. Watch and share the video below.

I was listening again to the prescient analysis by Prof Patricia Williams of race in the U.S, and Donald Trump's use of rhetoric and images. See my 2020 interview of her for Countersign: countersignisapodcast.com/podcasts/cul...

I’ve just visited Veraibari village (pop. 1000), Kikori River, Papua New Guinea, with Pacific lawyers preparing submissions to ICJ Advisory Op on Climate.
This tattered house shows the force of climate devastation.
Countersign podcast with lawyers Watna Mori & Fleur Ramsay to follow soon.
