I'm obviously biased but the program (now complete with keynotes and National Communication Museum events) for @aussts.bsky.social #AusSTS2025 is very good. Call for Proposals closes very soon (14 March): aussts.org/aussts-2025-...

Every 2 years, we like to publicly thank all those fantastic scholars who help keep the wheels of peer review and journal publishing running by heeding the call and (unpaid!) reviewing new manuscripts for us. Read "On Peer Review and Exchanges Unseen" here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Don't have a team of potential editors already in mind, but would like to be part of the team that leads @estsjournal.bsky.social ? Send me an email! I am collecting up names and hold a Zoom call in a few weeks to introduce folks to each other and answer questions.

"it is a habit of non-indigenous people to rush to FN people in times of crisis and ask them to solve problems not of their making. FN rights and knowledge are ignored until 'we' have a crisis" 💯💯💯

“wildfire mitigation in the US (+ anywhere) needs to be anticolonial.” 🎯

Tim's got a really good thread here. On the topic of "controlling fire", I periodically get to hear proposals from engineers (it's always engineers) on their ideas to "solve fire". The most recent memorable one was to coat forests in an organic glue-like paste which would stop foliage from burning.

My previous thread about wildfire + its pathologies received a couple of replies asking why I didn’t say more about First Nations (FN) fire management. It is actually a big part of the book + an understanding of colonialism as foundation to current fire problems is fundamental to my work

So, this got some clicks. I'll get back to (some) replies in the next hour or so. But here are some more links of interest... NoCanyonHills IG: www.instagram.com/p/DEqWC6LSP3...

Hello, so, I'm an anthropologist who has studied wildfires for over a decade and, just recently, handed in a book manuscript for peer review on the pathologies of wildfire management in Australia and, to a lesser extent, Canada and the US. It's called "How to Control Fire" (TBC).

One week of work to go, so my mind is turning to the *best* things that happened this year. Number 1 was the @sthv.bsky.social STS School in Singapore, and getting to hang out + work with 26 superb early-career scholars on their projects: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Am I... reading this right? The New Zealand government has arbitrarily decided to exclude the humanities and social sciences from its national research funding scheme? This is mad! What?

The week ahead offer the most absurd mix of the serious and unserious. Office parties. Award ceremonies. Contract negotiations. Book manuscript. Music festival... open.spotify.com/track/4x9Wm1...

This is clownish. Such a "civility rule" would mean either defining the category of "contested words" (is "Marxism," "dasein," or "labour" contested given their tensely debated meanings?), have an actual list (🫥), or its a blank cheque for disciplining speech. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
