Hello friends. We made a podcast. It's about nature in Los Angeles. Rats, mountain lions, sustainability, coyotes, feral cats, hazing, and also, Satan. @uclasustainla @uclaioes

Here's one way to understand what has happened to the public university in the last 5 years:

apropos of any future STS handbook this editorial raises great points about method. #ESOCITE4S22 #sts

[Christopher M. Kelty @ckelty]

And if not a handbook, then what? And of course... can it create some revenue for the 4S and not be a cost to the membership? So many questions! Join me in Mexico to discuss! 7/7 #ESOCITE4S22 #STS

As chair of the 4S publications committee, I am chairing a workshop at #ESOCITE4S22 Cholula to think about the next "STS Handbook." Join me Friday between 11-1 in A110. Spread the word, engage here with the idea, participate? #STS 🐘[email protected] 1/7

[Christopher M. Kelty @ckelty]

Does STS need a new edition of the handbook? Can such efforts actually "represent" the field rather than creating new exclusions? What is a programmatic statement for a field as diverse as STS? 6/7 #ESOCITE4S22 #STS

[Christopher M. Kelty @ckelty]

It also has an extensive methods section about using Nextdoor because we were, ahem, questioned by the journal about the ethics of the research. #ethics #methods

[Christopher M. Kelty @ckelty]

Very excited to have published an article with the incomparable Soledad Altrudi about Los Angeles, Nextdoor, and arbitrary domination, three things I love to hate!

The article is based in hundreds of conversations on the platform about wildlife in LA. It is our modest attempt to help move the somewhat stalled theorization of "entanglement" along a bit. #sts #entanglement #multispecies #environnement #losangeles

[Christopher M. Kelty @ckelty]

Which article should I write?

"Latour in Action"

"The pasteurization of Latour"

"We have never been Latour"

"Reassembling Latour"

"An inquiry into the modes of existence of Latour"
