A short 🧵 on my piece —

This will make for an interesting discussion in my class on care, public things, and democracy this week. Never a dull moment!

Many thanks go to Patrick Hayden and Chamsy el-Ojeili, who put this all together. I'm also grateful to the JIPT team—Tony Lang and @negsaunders.bsky.social for providing me the space to reflect publicly on the themes of #hope and #hopelessness in this time of global #crisis  🙏

In reference to the brave work of groups like the Sunrise Movement and Youth v. Apocalypse, and individuals like Greta Thunberg, I talk about the agency of children & what it might for more radical political action to be taken to care for the world in this age of #polycrisis #anthropocene ...

This discussion of #children is developed largely terms of the work of David Oswell, Michael Cummings, J. Marshall Beier, Anna Holzscheiter, Ali Watson, and others, as well as my prior work on "care." This article about #youth #activism also discusses #climatechange

A radically inclusive theory of #democracy, my "caring,” “child-friendly” approach to politics explores the possibility — a matter of #hope — of allowing #children to act as political equals alongside their adult counterparts.

This article explores the utopian potential of Article 12 of the UNCRC. It is in terms of this Article—which pertains to children’s “right to be heard"—that I argue that children should be treated as equal citizens within our world’s various spaces of democracy.

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time.

When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

Thanks for sharing this — looks terrific!

radical online collections and archives I am very interested in the growing amount of radical literature from around the world that is being scanned and digitised. As there are so many and from many different places, I thought it would b…

A reminder that I am always looking for more to add to this list of online and open access collections of radical historical documents. Over 900 collections now listed (and more on the way).

Looks terrific! Congrats to you both!

The Racial Visual Imaginary of International Relations Abstract. Visual politics is a thriving subfield of international relations (IR) that traces its origin to the “visual turn” at the turn of the century. Ho

My new open-access article in International Political Sociology is about “visual politics”, a growing subfield of International Relations. It considers how visual politics is structured to ignore race and racism and why it shouldn’t. academic.oup.com/ips/article/...

If only we had studies on autism and vaccines using nationally-complete healthcare data showing no association between the two.

Like, uh, this one from Denmark.

With everything happening in the world, it is very nice to see Maurits de Jongh's recent review of my book. I'm so very grateful of his thoughtful engagement with my ideas and approach. Much to continue reflecting upon!

An image from 2024, autumn, of mainly sky, clouds, shadow and light, and a faint rainbow hanging down 'from the heavens to the ground.' The ground, which is only one-eighth of the vertical rectangular image, appears reddish - brown in the interplay of shadow and light.

They comprehend neither beauty nor sorrow; understand neither empathy nor compassion, reject complexity and nuance. To create in any medium, to test hypotheses in the lab, to report the empirical reality, to challenge one's own assumptions, to teach others...is to rebel against them.

Took the little ones to the Los Angeles Zoo this morning and saw this magnificent fellow having a snack right up against the glass. Mixed feelings about such places but he was so captivating.

If you need a break from the news, perhaps the following—as "written" by my three-year-old son and me—will help lighten your mood. Many thanks to the editor, Katherine McDaniel, of Synkroniciti Magazine (Volume 7, no. 1) for including our work. For a copy, see: synkroniciti.com/the-magazine...
