Check out Viola's book on surveillance discourses - it is the latest addition to the Corpus and Discourse series, and I highly recommend it!
Just submitted the final proofs for this book 😱

It's available to pre-order for March delivery if anyone is interested or wants to order it for a library ☺️

I really like the title of this session focuses on #ClimateJustice and not climate change. We're way beyond just climate change now. We have to be honest about who is causing the problem and who is suffering and why.
