Great episode on #Marx on @originstorypodcast.bsky.social with @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social.

I have often wondered if Marx could/should be seen as *consultant* given that he was paid by Engels?

New book on the history of peripheral centralities and suburban utopias/failures, ed. by Nick Phelps, @rkeil.bsky.social & @planographer.bsky.social.

Our chapter uses Lefebvre's notion of centrality to examine Madrid's informal settlements and their impact on urban policy under a Fascist regime.

Really excited to see this book published and delighted to be part of it. My chapter with Emma McDougall explores the shifting geographies of the peripheral and central as LRT reorders the geography of Waterloo Region.
Congratulations @planographer.bsky.social @rkeil.bsky.social & Nick Phelps

For #publicpolicy and #publicadmin colleagues on here, what label/descriptor would you use to define President Trump's approach/style of publicpolicy thus far?

Would hyper-NPM work?

Curious about #AcademicSkeeters views/positions/experiences of generative AI licensing deals with academic publishers.

Have you agreed/rejected calls from publishers to allow your work to be included as part of generative AI licensing?
