🧵Zelensky being publicly berated by US president and VP (a mass media spectacle par excellence) has left western Europe stunned, shocked, and floundering. There was much ‘unprecedented’ about the spectacle but I want to talk about something that isn’t being discussed.

New paper: "How much growth is required to achieve good lives for all?" Is it possible to realise this vision without exacerbating ecological breakdown? Yes! But it requires a totally different approach to the question of growth and development. 🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

About ten years ago a fellow keynote speaker at a conference suggested I read Two Cheers for Anarchism. It was one of several threads leading to my PhD and along with Weapons of the Weak and others influences the work I do today.

I keep thinking about this and have written about it before. So many social justice issues from genocide to homelessness are due to people willing to dehumanize the humanity of other people. We must remember and honour our shared humanity.

@naomicfisher @dgurdasani1 Great question @naomicfisher and one which I hope is asked here in Tasmania now that a review of our education system has been announced

Are schools which aren't 'child ready' more likely to have children who become persistently absent? What makes a school more child-ready, and how could we improve that across our education system?

“We can treat people differently in order to treat them fairly”. Fascinating presentation from Adam Whitworth of @StrathBusiness on what we can learn from supported employment at today’s @ERC_UK & @ESRC @PrOPEL_Hub event on Mental Health, Workplace Wellbeing & Productivity

@NickFeik Better economic modelling needed in the public domain to show relationships between fossil fuel net revenues to govt and social spending. Pervasive belief that mining affords NDIS

Hard to express my complete disgust at Labor this week. In a way they’re worse than the Coalition - harvesting votes by pretending to be in favour of climate action. They never intended real action, & still have no real emissions reduction plan. Their dishonesty is breathtaking.

What I love about this is the non-binary approach - it’s both markets and government working to create value for everyone

It's long been a question: could all of humanity actually live within the Doughnut? Thanks to Hauke Schlesier et al it's just been quantified for the 1st time. And the answer is probably yes - if we transform to economies of sufficiency. Read more here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

There are no developed economies.

Citizens in areas that have lost their economic dynamism —that is, those stuck in a #development trap— are fuelling a wave of #discontent across #Europe. The risk, intensity & duration of the #DevelopmentTrap, significantly increase the Eurosceptic vote. doi.org/10.1080/001300…

Many 'places that no longer matter' are refusing to die. Very interesting article by @chakrabortty in @guardian about #Shildon, an old mining town starved of investment since 1951 but that survives against all odds. doi.org/10.1093/cjres/… theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The rise in #inequality is key to explain #populism. It is therefore surprising that comparative analyses of how and to what extent differences in both interpersonal and interterritorial inequality drive anti-sytem voting remain rare. We provide one here: doi.org/10.1093/jeg/lb…

Hype around AI in medicine often ignores two key risks: - patterns of automation contribute to centralization of power - medical knowledge is limited by the systemic refusal to trust patient expertise 1/ my new post: rachel.fast.ai/posts/2024-02-…

Thank you, Dr. @jovialjoy, for sharing your wisdom, and Sofia De Jesus and Shana V. White for elevating putting this conversation about #ethical use of #AI front and center at today's CSTA Equity Summit 2024. #CSTAEquitySummit #humancenteredai #CSTAEquityFellows

"Without an analysis of power, it is hard to understand inequality or much else in modern capitalism.” Nobel Economics prize winner Angus Deaton drops a bomb on his own profession and attacks some sacred cows of economic orthodoxy crikey.com.au/2024/03/12/nob…

I hear 5 will be in politics and IR.
