  "Speaking out of place" is probably one of the most important things we need to be doing these days.

We discussed my book Science in Resistance, the complicity of higher education institutions in genocide and ecocide, as well as paths to organizing inside and outside the workplace. https://speakingoutofplace.com/20...

  "𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐎𝐢𝐥?" I was recently interviewed by @kgjengedal for Norway's Forskerforum, as part of a great article she did on the topic of exnovation and its glaring absence from academic research priorities. https://www.forskerforum.no/reportasje/professor-vil-ha-meir-forsking-pa-korleis-vi-kan-slutte-a-oydeleggje-verda/ In it, she also interviews the scholar who first introduced me to the topic, Jennie C. Stephens. In her wor...
