Excited to announce that I've signed a contract with @ucpress to publish my new book on lithium, resource politics, and the contradictions of the green energy transition. Very much looking forward to working with Kate Marshall and the rest of the excellent UC Press team!
For those of you still following, had a great chat with @DominicBoyer and @CymeneHowe for the Cultures of Energy podcast. Have a listen! @Enviro_Ant

Huge thanks to @PhilipGAlston for organizing and then seeing this volume through to publication. The collection "provides the first systematic assessment from a human rights . . . perspective of the landmark contributions of the renowned legal anthropologist, Sally Engle Merry."

Congratulations to @AlexLHinton and Tony Robben for their award-winning book, published in Stanford Studies in Human Rights @stanfordpress, a "multifaceted, unsettling, and . . . powerful encounter with 'humanity’s dark side'" (from my series editor's foreword). Bravo!
Honored to learn that #Perpetratrators was awarded a 2023 #ChoiceAward for Outstanding Academic Title from the American Library Association! Thanks to my co-author Tony Robben and @stanfordpress bit.ly/3x6WbyK
Just learned that the brilliant economic anthropologist @Stefan_Anthro, who was a member of the scientific board of Energy Assemblages (2019-23), has just taken up a full professorship at @unibern. Congrats Stefan, will look forward to celebrating when I'm back in CH.
Just released: the latest in the Academic Tradecraft series. Interested in learning about the "bird by bird" technique and the condition of academic simultaneity? @oxford_anthro @LeverhulmeTrust @EASAinfo @PublicAnthropol @theasainfo @ANNELAMOTT
