Study program meeting attended

Today I attended the biannual study program meeting related to University of Stavanger´s master in social studies.

#25

Today I have had half a book writing day devoted to my book Carbon Capture and the Future of Environmentalism, which is forthcoming with Bloomsbury Academic. I approved of the press proof (cover and back cover as well as the spine, of which the latter two were new). Moreover, I finished going through and responding to the second page proofs (or revised page proofs), which is organised by Integra.

This brings the number of writing days this Autumn up to 25 including 16 book writing days.

#24,5

Today I have had half an article writing day, with work done on the wolf socialization article I co-write with Laura Kiiroja. I also went through correspondence related to "Live better" articles. This brings the number of writing days this Autumn up to 24,5 including 9 article writing days.

Link to "Contradictionary - an almanac of resistance" online (Open Access)

The book Contradictionary - an almanac of resistance - is available for reading and download (Open Access) here. The book, which was edited by Bernd Herzogenrath and Nicol A. Barria-Asenjo and is published by Open Humanities Press, includes two entries written by me, namely "Environmental quality" and "Pollution". The concept of the book is that it lists and explains terms that have been "banned" (or rather black-listed) by the Trump administration in a research context.
