New paper published in @Soc_Stud_Sci today! It argues that we need to think more cohesively about the emotions involved in sociotechnical imaginaries (the shared ideas & feelings we have about science & technology). Here's a thread of the main arguments 1/

Happy to confirm that this article has now been released from behind the paywall and is, indeed, #openaccess
Latest #OpenAccess article from @FlexisProject social science research, exploring the complexities of defining 'local' energy systems, and how these complexities undermine any simple identification of 'local' with 'democratic' when it comes to energy. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

So sad to learn of the death of Christopher Tilley the author of immensely influential works such as A Phenomenology of Landscape. We also co-edited a book and closely collaborated in Material Culture Studies at UCL. He will be much missed by his students, friends and colleagues.
Great workshop this morning with some v talented 2nd yr meme-mongering students, who came up with these examples of postmodern folklore (grouped together a touch randomly, shared with their creators' permission)
Feel free to QT/RT - do you have a favourite? 😊

Sadly, @UniKent has announced plans to axe a number of smaller departments, including philosophy. We perform well on all measures, including student recruitment. But smaller subjects have less clout and are easiest to cut. Help us shout out our value to the uni! They need to hear

Listen to @Simon_price01 pay tribute to Neil Kulkarni and hear how more than £32,000 has been fundraised to help support his family: bbc.in/3Hv5KNn

Oh man ….Neil …. 🙏🏿… wow
@MrChuckD interviewer here, Neil Kulkarni, has sadly passed away at the age of 51.
Lots of lovely tributes on here for him today; and a modest fundraiser for his family that I will share next.
He must have been barely 21 or 22 in 1995, and he wasn’t wrong. His first, excellent book was Bring the Noise.
RIP.
Excellent by @welshecon: call for future-oriented imagination within Wales to match the ambition of the Future Generations Act . Tho innovation, being social & technological, needs social intelligence too: see @CynnalCymru's 'Wales We Want' programme that informed the FGA.

Delighted to announce that I'll be joining Swansea University in the New Year as Snr Lecturer in Sociology ☺️
Open Access publ from @FlexisProject on using innovative social science methods to explore what #ResponsibleInnovation for energy system decarbonization might look like. Anticipating impacts on places and everyday life is crucial.

Emergency alerts & doomsday clocks...but do future warnings actually help us cope in an increasingly terrifying age? I spoke to professional soothsayers & even trained as a ‘super forecaster’ for @CosmopolitanUK to find out... cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/…
