Focusing on a geopark project in Turkey, we argue that turning landscapes into commemorative sites reveals how power shapes what is remembered and what is forgotten, with material consequences for communities that have long lived and worked in these landscapes.

See you in Toronto!
So extremely thrilled that this review is out!! I hope it can help us recognize the dynamic relationship that exists between green gentrification and mental health.
Also, props to my fantastic co-authors (Alessandro Rigolon, Piper Zdrodowski, and Amber Pearson)!
Publication day! The Injustice of Property is available from the great @ugapress.bsky.social. The book details how property in liberalism constrains common attempts at ending homelessness, despite land use practices of un/precariously housed people rejecting the proprietarian logic of liberalism.
Thanks Stephen!
Focusing on the Zonguldak basin during early republican Turkey, I argue that the resource-making of Zonguldak's coal reserves and state formation were dialectically linked. State elites leveraged coal reserves for state-building, while these efforts, in turn, shaped extraction policies/practices.
At the risk of it seeming like I joined Bluesky just to share this, I’m excited to announce that my paper is now published in the Journal of Historical Geography.
