Out in @TheSocReview! How are gender and sustainability constituted in #zerowaste living? We see an ongoing feminisation of domesticity but also explore the feminist potential of waste-free living to make naturecultural collectives. With @sarahjparry https://t.co/zOqkIMoXTh
Out in @Polar_Journal! We (@MandydeWilde, Rivke Jaffe and I) draw on research on #rats in Amsterdam to propose an understanding of their interventions in the urban built environment as more-than-human “acts of denizenship”. Read it here: https://t.co/FruCfsYsCF.
Summary 🧵: 1/5
@susteinability, @ThomasFranssen, @MandydeWilde & I took a look at the European Commission's labyrinthine and unsurprisingly modernist approach to environmental harm in research and innovation, and thought about alternatives. #sts#scipol#greendeal

@LindenLisa And also how the telephone was used by rural women to overcome their isolation - a private use not anticipated by telephone firms which initially conceived of the device as a business instrument, to be used by men. I think this example can be found in Oudshoorn & Pinch (2003).
@LindenLisa Had to think of Cockburn & Ormrod's study (1993) about the microwave oven: building on its high-tech character, companies initially marketed the microwave as a masculine, brown good, but it eventually became associated with cooking and, thus, marketed as a feminine, white good.
Remarkable piece by Naomi Klein on the link between the two tragedies of Ukraine & climate wars linked by the use and infrastructure of oil & gas with the good news that once again, just as after Covid, States are able to change economies fast https://t.co/3IoG3V3f3u
