'Towards a Revolutionary Political Economy of Climate Transition?'
SPERI Doctoral Researchers Network organised a roundtable discussion at #PSA26 last week debating strategy and political agency in climate crisis.
The podcast of the session is out now: open.spotify.com/episode/3oxb...
Music streaming accompanies us through everyday life, but it also tracks us.
In the final episode of Ground Level, we explore how platforms commodify everyday listening, turning music into a technology of consumer surveillance and behavioural data extraction.

In this episode of New Thinking in Political Economy, @josh-white1708.bsky.social chats to @vapunkt.bsky.social about her recent article in New Political Economy titled 'Decoupling climate change: winter tourism and the maintenance of regional growth'.
How does the sector’s growth coalition perceive this threat? How are they seeking to respond to this, and what narratives do they deploy to cohere and legitimise this? How likely is this to succeed, and what might the future of these areas look like in a world of climate breakdown?
Winter tourism is vital to the local economies of these regions, supporting a network of sectors that rely on their integration into resorts' supply chains. However, global heating is placing all of this under threat, as snowfall becomes more irregular and the skiing season ever shorter each year.

Though probably not the first industry that comes to mind when you think of the green transition, alpine ski resorts are nonetheless at the forefront of climate breakdown and its economic effects.
Had a lot of fun doing this interview on the New Thinking podcast discussing the cost-of-living crisis, the installation economy and how worker organising can disrupt their transition.

In the latest edition of New Thinking in Political Economy, @josh-white1708.bsky.social discusses all this and more in conversation with the University of Essex’s @nicholasbeuret.bsky.social about his new book “Or Something Worse: Why We Need to Disrupt the Climate Crisis”, out now from Verso Books.
And who has agency to shape how this plays out? Can popular forces resist the overwhelming power of fossil and green capital? What strategies might be most effective for this?
Likewise, the climate crisis is often treated as a catastrophe of the future, but how is it already affecting us here in Britain today? What are its effects, what form of adaptation measures are emerging, and who is capturing the rewards and bearing the costs of these?
