Yes, actually, that’s a great question/point… I am honestly not too sure in terms of that in Ukraine, but at least in terms of russia there’s also the question of migrant workers being forcibly mobilised too..

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...

When I say you're the currency, I mean you. I don't mean your data or content, I mean you -- you surrender your affect, feeling, reasoning, discomfort, joy, etc., to extractive capitalism.

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
