Pleased to share that my paper "Oil, Life, and Everyday Fossil Fascism: Appropriative Signification in US Petroleum Supremacy" has been accepted and will be coming out in Communication, Culture & Critique in the spring!

Bathing in oil? Hard to think of something that better fits the definition of a "petroculture." #envhist #envhum https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/world/europe/cop29-azerbaijan-oil-baths.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20241122&instance_id=140332&nl=the-morning&regi_id=69402200&segment_id=183860&user_id=2b602167ebc3bcf4c1fabc1d2e3bdd5b

Sadly hilarious satire of how it feels to try to make energy-conscious decisions when you’re just one person. #energy #envhum https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-department-of-energy-wants-you-to-know-your-conservation-efforts-are-making-a-difference

The city of shades (with Santiago Orrego)

This issue of Tarde proposes an ethnographic program for the study of urban shades, and proposes a preliminary set of devices for studying them as crucial elements for urban habitability in times of climate mutation

I have a chapter in this new volume: Environment, Agency, and Technology in Urban Life since c.1750: Technonatures in the Global North (eds Mikkel Thelle and Mikkel Høghøj), alongside a whole bunch of wonderful colleagues and thinkers.

A student of mine has a typo in the title of an email they sent to me about being out of class. Instead of absence, they wrote:

"Absescene"

I'm now thinking about stealing it to coin my own term for what happens after the #anthropocene: absence.
