Authors -it’s worth checking this to see if your work is included, -though seems there’s much less on the eligible works list here than work downloaded from LibGen or PiLiMi -though this might be the beginning of legal action over AI theft of copyrighted work, rather than the end. Good Luck 🤞

Aimed at PhD and ECR researchers who are thinking about their future in environmental research, this roundtable brings together three researchers who have taken different pathways with their PhDs. Professor Rosaleen Duffy, Chair of International Politics at the University of Sheffield, will speak to her academic career as a researcher and teacher of global environmental change and governance. Dr Jane Clarke, Principal Analyst at the Office for Environmental Protection, will discuss her experience working on environmental policy across both non-government and government sectors. And Dr Kai Heron, Lecturer in Political Ecology at Lancaster University and co-director of the progressive policy platform Abundance, will share his experience as an activist researcher and using academia to further social movement goals.

The discussion will shed light on different ways to use your environment PhD, what different career pathways can offer, and opportunities for intersections between them.  We hope you can join us!

Yes he did - the camera angle makes it look higher than it is. He was happily trotting off to the woods afterwards. Over the years I have had to phone various orgs in the area to free deer stuck in fences. It’s so sad.

The irony being that I took that path to avoid walking our dog near the stags hanging out in the woods - it’s rutting season 😬

On happier note, also pleased to see one of my all time fave bands, Massive Attack, rightly showcased as leading the Bristol sound of the 90s. Thanks to @tomtay10r.bsky.social for the recommendation to go to M Shed 😀

Just before leaving Bristol I had a chance to visit the excellent M-Shed, which includes the Colston statue and a reminder of the strong links between trades in #ivory #sugar & #slaves that built cities like Bristol. Ivory was a significant economic underpinning for the British Empire #WildlifeTrade
Display case with ivory tusks, weapons, sugarloaf cone & documents about slavery Bronze statue of Colston in a glass case; pink graffiti sprayed on the statue Panel says ‘in memory of 18 million African Ancestors brutally kidnapped & sold into chattel slavery, of which half a million were transported on ships from Bristol. In this space we proudly honour your memory with 18 black poppies’

It was very engaging discussion in SPAIS in Bristol Uni today. My thanks to Ashley Dodsworth for the invite. I’ve also enjoyed the massive range of public art in Bristol ⬇️

Fossil fuel companies try to tie environmental campaigners and protesters up in lengthy legal battles to waste their time and money – and scare them away from criticising the rich and powerful

Wonderful from @seanburkeshow.bsky.social

On the train. For the 80s kids out there: Repo Man vibes 😀

Lately I’ve been doing some advisory work around this very topic - the link between #IWT and demand for exotic pets is clear. The #EU is about to make a decision about this overlooked but complex issue #harms #WildlufeTrade ⬇️

We completed our exchange visit btwn UCT & Sheffield with, what else, but a trip around the Peak District National Park 😀 A perfect landscape to discuss land ownership patterns & models of National Parks - thanks so much to @ahubschle.bsky.social & Maano Ramutsindela for great conversations

Dreadful to see this - Farhana Sultana is a stellar academic, with a commitment to social justice. She repeatedly said she was being targeted on this platform & on others. I note her account is deleted. Shame on Syracuse for not standing up for colleagues ⬇️ solidarity to her & Jenn Jackson
