New article! I explore why taxi platform drivers in Oslo take the gig. I find that they see it as a "step up" compared to previous and other available jobs, and discuss what this tells us about platforms and the Norwegian labor market. In @ActaSocJournal journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

Before summer we produced some video abstracts, which is an interesting way to convey the essence of an article - e.g. Neil and my take on the roles and intersections of agency. Thanks to @unioslo_LINK for production, and to @antipode for publishing. youtube.com/watch?v=e8j2OD…

Video abstract — @davidjolier talks about his latest #openaccess article (co-authored with Neil Coe) "The Roles and Intersections of Constrained Labour Agency" antipodeonline.org/2024/07/31/the…

Recommended. A great summer read for all scholars of labour and ecology.

@BardLahn Great to see this in print! Congratulations, Bård and Kristin.

How Norway's oil resources came to be managed as a 'national asset' also has implication for current debates about climate risk and the future of oil, which I hope to further unpack in another context..

New publication! What happened when economists began valuing Norwegian oil resources as a national 'asset'? In @economyandspace, @krakristin and I analyze the emergence of the world's largest sovereign wealth fund as a case of 'assetization' -> journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03…

@JornHolmHansen Kan jeg avgi ett stk stemme til denne mannen takk!

@sidsareen Congratulations, Sid! Will download.

It's real! Amazing to hold a copy in my hands :) it's free to download (bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/monobook-oa/bo…) and also affordable in case you like an old-school way of reading books. If someone wants to review it for a journal, please do let me know :)

@JMacLeavy @PhilHubbard1 @fhpitts Great. I am looking forward to this publication. A bit too late for my Futures of work course this autumn, but one for the future (pun intended)

@davidjolier @PhilHubbard1 @fhpitts Thanks David. I think the right one has won the vote, but we may ask to tweak the position of the image as part of the reason I too like the left one is that there are no details obscured (as happens with the sun rays and clouds in the one on the right) Contents list is below :)

We have two cover options for the forthcoming #Handbook for the Future of Work! Would anyone like to help @fhpitts and I decide which to pick?! POLL below (Voting options: Cover 1 with clouds, Cover 2 with sunshine) Any comments on the reasons for your choice also very welcome

Today, Norway’s Minister of Research and Higher Education Oddmund Hoel conferred the Holberg Prize upon Professor Achille Mbembe and the Nils Klim Prize upon Professor Siddharth Sareen. We congratulate the Laureates! holbergprize.org/en/news/holber… (Photo: Eivind Senneset)

@JMacLeavy @PhilHubbard1 @fhpitts Left one for me. Congrats, would love to see the table of contents!

@PhilHubbard1 @fhpitts Perhaps, although this wasn't in mind when we first looked at images, this works as a nod towards discussions of post-work or work (as we know it) being/becoming different from the past? Mainly, though, we wanted to avoid the usual imagery of robots etc as book is wider in scope

Also, Norway still finds itself in a carbon lock-in that is reflected in the politics of the trade union movement. The labour movement continues to be divided between two competing visions for a just transition: 'transition away' from' vs 'transition within' fossil fuels.

This might change, of course. But atm, more effort has been put into making sure labour is at the table - ensuring that union representatives have the mandates, procedures and guides for engaging in these issues - than in pushing an independent, green agenda for labour.

We take a sober look at just transition initiatives in Norway and ask whether union involvement serves a dual purpose: 1) anchoring a just transition among working people while 2) proactively engaging in Norway’s compliance with its climate targets. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
