New Book – A Cold Colonialism: Modern Exploration and the Canadian North Framing exploration as an epistemic enterprise, or one concerned with the production of knowledge about environments, reveals it to be a more diverse and capacious activity than often believed.

Today @nichecanada.bsky.social I introduce *A Cold Colonialism* β€” its origin story, its main characters and arguments, and its potential to shift how we think about exploration, the North, and colonialism’s relationships with both. Enjoy! #cdnhist #envhist #Arctic niche-canada.org/2025/06/03/n...

Why are minerals so central to geopolitics? How green are electric cars? Why is anti-mining protest increasing? Can the inequalities of the global economy be transformed?

I tackle these topics in my book EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism
