Happy to have my research featured in one of my favourite academic blogs: writing on populism, science policy, and the illegitimate use by @Conacyt_MX of humanities and social sciences buzzwords to enact authoritarianism on academic communities

Academia stifles our imagination of science in society. Academics often can’t even imagine research being oriented towards the needs of people. Some thoughts from our conference on science as community-oriented and emancipatory practice... 🧵

The UN Food Systems Summit was marked by contradictions between the language of inclusion & the reality of corporate control. Our discussions at the Summit led to this small opinion piece on "Indigenous knowledge in food system transformations" https://t.co/b5lTLyUDqp

[David Ludwig @DavidLudwigWUR]

We just received the book contract for “African Philosophy and the Politics of Food Systems” with Springer. The volume will be edited by Mogobe Ramose, Petronella Chaminuka, Yeshewas Ebabu, Birgit Boogaard, Sally Diop, & me. A quick 🧵 on why this topic matters so much...
