I love conferences only because I get to meet all my amazing academic friends like @mtslep.bsky.social !
Throughout the conference I met up with many of my @qmul.bsky.social colleagues, but also managed to catch up with people like the newly minted Dr @saanchi.bsky.social by the marquee 🫶🏽. A very friendly atmosphere for networking, indeed #RGSIBG25

My first ever citation!! My paper on caste-gender & street vending was referenced in this interesting EPC article by Elmond Bandauko & Godwin Arku. Glad to see others also echoing the call for more intersectional perspectives on street geographies!

My read: "AI" is a fundamentally anti-worker technology
1) it demands de-skilling of workers for its long-term viability. White collar 'consumers' are asked to lower our standards and accept regurgitated slop as a substitute for the products of careful reading and synthesis.

Really amazing new paper on how Amazon used its algorithmic and surveillance tools to bust the union election at the Bessemer, AL warehouse a few years ago. Dan Boguslaw explains:

Amazon Uses Arsenal of AI Weapons Against Workers
A study of a union election at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, shows that the company weaponizes its algorithmic surveillance tools to prevent organizing.

Wonderful book by Michele, it was a privilege reviewing it!
@saanchi.bsky.social “[A] brilliant, thought-provoking contribution to the fields of urban studies and critical geography. Where the book shines is in its proposal of a radical epistemology that breaks the dichotomy of home and homelessness"
