Writing about photography, resource extraction, & environmental justice. Camera Geologica: An Elemental History of Photography (Duke UP 2024) https://www.dukeupress.edu/camera-geologica
I had the considerable pleasure of writing a blurb for Stephanie O'Rourke's brilliant, thought provoking, and innovative book, Picturing Landscape in an Age of Extraction: Europe and Its Colonial Networks, 1780–1850. It is a major contribution to the field. @uchicagopress.bsky.social

I spoke to Jonas Becker about the role that the arts play in energy transitions for a special issue on Global Coal Transitions in "Environmental Research: Energy." Many thanks to @jeffreyjacquet.bsky.social and Max Woodworth for opening up some space for an art-science dialogue

This is the importance of buying the books we write and teach from university presses. The same administrations that don’t care about the humanities would be just as happy to have academic publishing handled by these companies. We can save our own publishing ecosystem- but we have to do it.
"academic publishing is dominated by profit-oriented, multinational companies for whom scientific knowledge is a commodity to be sold back to the academic community who created it... The dominant four collectively generated... $12 billion in profits between 2019 and 2024."

Such a fascinating conversation about the finances of academic publishing - highly recommend to anyone looking to publish a book (or designing grad seminars - uploading PDFs of books undermines to the whole ecosystem!)
I was interviewed by Lisa Regan on the The Academic Publishing Podcast about publishing finances -- everything from why a press might want a subvention to why the system as a whole in in big trouble if everyone goes for the free pdf and no one is paying for the books themselves. She had smart Q's!

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.
Fuck Columbus.
Fuck Columbus.
