From collapsed Brazilian tailings dams to patchwork urban grids, infrastructures in Latin America expose the fragility of modernity. Once hailed as engines of progress, they now reveal themselves through decay, breakdown, and ruination—yet also through [1/2]

Reviewer Iván Sandoval-Cervantes finds two books—on dog politics and lab animal research—unite in denaturalizing our 'species stories,' exposing the human politics that shape even our most intimate bonds with animals.🐢

Excellent comments by @darmenteras.bsky.social, can't wait to share w/ my #STS students. Makes me think of some of the strategies Tapuya Journal @tapuya.org mobilized to great ends. The part Dr. Armenteras doesn't say (as in Tapuya's case) is that building sideways often makes the science stronger.

Paul Guinnessy @paulguinnessy.bsky.social · 21d

Institutions and scientists claim to want to reform how scholars from historically overexploited countries are treated — but after too many invitations that offered only superficial opportunities, ecologist Dolors Armenteras has come to the conclusion that it’s “time to build sideways, not upwards”

Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending

Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.
