Are you teaching an environmental studies/Global South/Postcolonial and Global Studies class? If so, as the COP30 climate talks get closer, you may want to check out/assign my recent open-access article "The Failure of Climate Dialogue: Why Global South Voices Must Be Climate Talk Leaders" 👇
No problem at all -- I'll be returning to it in my own research, I'm sure :)
A little late resharing this announcement as I'm still not fully Bluesky literate but huge congrats to all the winners of the ASLE-UKI book awards this year!
I sat as a judge for the critical prize and all of our shortlisted entries this year were excellent . Saharan Winds truly is a must read!
Did you know that ASLE-UKI has a podcast? 🎧
Press play and follow 'Green Listening: Discussions in Ecocriticism' 🌿
We have exciting episodes lined up! 🎤

Today, I'm attending @womeninworld-lit.bsky.social at Warwick Uni. It's been a pleasure to see a hybrid conference working at its best and to catch up with all the amazing developments in this diverse field, after 8 months feeling out of the loop on maternity leave!
Europe's economic woes have nothing to do with #ClimatePolicy, says PIK Director Ottmar #Edenhofer in an interview with @ftm.eu. “Climate damage is going to be a fundamental threat to our #Economy and prosperity.”
