@lancekthompson To be fair Kehinde Andrews is asking an important question. He is asserting that ‘truth’ is tied to institutional power. His question shifts from “is it true” to “what power relations make this count as true.”

@ConversationEDU @ClimateworksCtr @arch_lintel @CSIRO Any reason why embodied carbon was outside of scope? As we move to 2050, embodied carbon is critically important especially for refurbishment.

@DALupton Totally agree. But I think you could extend this other crtical issues of our times, such as climate change, offshore processing etc. Using the tools of sociology to affect meaningful change is still often missing from the discipline' s tool kit, despite the rhetoric.
