… that focusing on work and connected domains of labour removes the blinkers, revealing connected roles, responsibilities and opportunities for systematic change. (3/3) @MCRSociology @ManchesterSCI.

More broadly, capacity deserves greater conceptual, methodological and empirical attention in social science-based transitions & sustainability research. This paper was long in the making. @DEMAND_CENTRE & @ManchesterSCI colleagues were pivotal (3/3).
English
Investment in capacity is contingent. Multiple socio-technical geographies and histories of demand refract through infrastructure, rendering change inherently incremental and uneven. Case-by-case critique is key to considering whether investments serve sustainable ends (2/3).

New paper out! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. It’s taken as given that we need more network capacity. Less is said about why we get it, the purposes served, and what the details suggest about energy transitions. Spoiler alert… (1/3)

If the below takes your fancy - check out the @OneBinUoM outputs: sustainablefutures.manchester.ac.uk/research/case-…. These explain why consistency is so important for plastics recycling and what it will take to get it across the board. @UoMPolicy @MCRSociology @ManchesterSCI @DrHEHolmes

'What you need is consistent policy so it's clear what goes in what bin, how it will be treated, & how it should be prepared,' @TorikHolmes on whether tethered bottle caps will improve plastic recycling. @uomsoss @UoMSust @ManchesterSCI @DrHEHolmes dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ar…

New publication! Focuses on two changed practices (online shopping/deliveries and Working From Home) to think through how 'crises' mainly have permanent effects when they are pushing on an open door of already occurring social/practice change. uni-muenster.de/Ejournals/inde…
