Thanks for posting the OA link!

Full disclosure: I blurbed this book and I blurbed it hard. I think it’s methodologically brilliant, especially coming out of a PhD project originally. And that’s my fav kind of brilliance.

It's a really great collection, and to my knowledge is was created through invitation and commission by editors at @universitypress.cambridge.org Prisms: Plastics. Thank you and kudos to that group, and to all the authors.

"The petrochemical historical bloc: Exposing the extent and depth of opposition to a high-ambition plastics treaty" identifies a bloc of petrostates, industry & their allies to ferret out disingenuous rhetoric and identify potential counter-alliances.

My piece echos Lynn Jacobs', but focuses on how even the best version of the Treaty includes Indigenous knowledge, but not Indigenous Peoples. Meaning, it's not a rights-based model like the one outlined by the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

[email protected] (Lynn Jacobs) has a great piece on "Indigenous rights, knowledge, and participation in the global plastics treaty" that details how Indigenous Peoples have been systematically blocked in the creation process

While there are a lot of articles in the collection, the briefing today covers:
A shift in focus to human health
A rights-based approach to the Treaty
Safeguarding scientific integrity
High ambition vs delay (and my new favourite term: "low-ambition nations")
The urgency for binding action

We're using the workshop to fine-tune these resources, after which they'll be available on the IndigeLab Network website. Videos of the orientation portion of the workshops will also be available there.
Everyone is welcome, even if you're not going up for promotion & don't do community work.

We'll cover "8 Maxims for a promotion and tenure file", "Strategies for representing community-based research in tenure files," "Measures and metrics for demonstrating impact in promotion and tenure files," and provide a P&T file checklist. 2/3
