In this blog, I reflect on the global south reading of COP30. For many reasons, COP30 should be more than just another climate summit; it should be a defining moment of our era.

The more senior academics avoid taking up thankless tasks of journal reviewing, the more their discipline narrows. As an Associate Editor, I am struck by the number of senior academics that turn down invitations to review journals. Have academics taken a wrong turn?

I am resigning from the @thirdworldq editorial board. After some time there and (futile) efforts to change things, I can see that the editorial processes do not ensure the necessary oversight and deliberation to prevent biases against radical & towards Eurocentric scholarship.

Fresh off the Print: In this open access book, we explore the intersection of property law, relocation, and resettlement processes in the United States and among communities that grapple with migration as an adaptation strategy.

[elizabeth marino @EnviroAnth_prof]

We have a book! https://t.co/cwI8yOO3Bw "In particular we focus on how the legal options for relocating people have conflated complex relationalities into an ethnocentric, legally legible, transactional relationship between a selling property owner and a purchasing government."
