My students kept Care Diaries as epistemic tools of attention.

They traced (in)visible care relations in everyday settings: a laundromat, an abandoned car, a backyard. What seemed care-less often proved relationally dense, sometimes even provoking care through the act of observation itself.

In Germany, passengers spent a total of 67 YEARS waiting for delayed trains in 2025. If that sounds like a lot, it is! It's more than the delays in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria, and Italy combined. Here's to the next years in 2026.

This week my “Matters of Care” seminar hosted a student-run Repair Café.

Drawing on Tronto’s idea that care includes repair, we explored what it means to care for things by repairing them and, in doing so, began making relations.

What would you bring to repair?

Losing a round of Daybreak feels harsh, doesn’t it? But do we actually “lose” to the climate crisis in the way we lose in a game?
I’m currently co-working on the game as a medium of knowledge communication and as a technique of futuring. More soon.

Although I can't participate in that symposium at Maastricht University, I have to say this poster is fire!

Starting the semester with a seminar on Care — as practice, perspective, and epistemology.
We’ll read Tronto, Conradi, Bellacasa, Le Guin, and Haraway — exploring how caring, storytelling, and becoming-with might reshape what it means to know and to act.

New article out now: “Whose Future? Epistemic Challenges to the Collective ‘We’ in Long-Term Governance”
Published in TATuP
👉 doi.org/10.14512/tat...

I explore how Techniques of Futuring and epistemic thought styles shape what counts as ‘governable’ futures.

Die geplanten Kürzungen im Rahmen des neuen Hochschulpakts in Hessen gefährden nicht nur Forschung und Lehre, sondern auch Strukturen für Gleichstellung und Antidiskriminierung. Die heutige Stellungnahme der @bukof.bsky.social (Hessen) ist dringend lesenswert.

Great to see this volume by colleagues from our Climate Thinking working group out now! Exploring vegetal agency, ecological entanglements & more-than-human worlds.

Part of the series Climates – Cultures – Contexts (which I co-edit).

Gave a talk at the summer academy of @evstudienwerk last weekend — topic: Nature between Fact and Care.

Loved the openness of the conversations, from late evening to breakfast.

It’s not just what we talk about, but where, and with whom.

How do you write an article?

I just found my A2 sketch that mapped the core argument of my upcoming piece for TATuP. Quotes, arrows, fragments – some barely readable. But this mess became structure.

Curious: what do your early writing stages look like?

Back from a great interdisciplinary conference on digital knowledge practices in Darmstadt.
I spoke on Epistemologies of Care — asking what it means to care for knowledge in systems that marginalize and monopolize.

New here and curious: how do we speak about care, crisis, and epistemology without defaulting to the usual certainties?
I'm a philosopher (mainly academic, sometimes public), interested in the friction between knowledge and responsibility.
