New paper published in @Soc_Stud_Sci today! It argues that we need to think more cohesively about the emotions involved in sociotechnical imaginaries (the shared ideas & feelings we have about science & technology). Here's a thread of the main arguments 1/ doi.org/10.1177/030631…

So sad to learn of the death of Christopher Tilley the author of immensely influential works such as A Phenomenology of Landscape. We also co-edited a book and closely collaborated in Material Culture Studies at UCL. He will be much missed by his students, friends and colleagues.
Sadly, @UniKent has announced plans to axe a number of smaller departments, including philosophy. We perform well on all measures, including student recruitment. But smaller subjects have less clout and are easiest to cut. Help us shout out our value to the uni! They need to hear

@MrChuckD interviewer here, Neil Kulkarni, has sadly passed away at the age of 51. Lots of lovely tributes on here for him today; and a modest fundraiser for his family that I will share next. He must have been barely 21 or 22 in 1995, and he wasn’t wrong. His first, excellent…
Excellent by @welshecon: call for future-oriented imagination within Wales to match the ambition of the Future Generations Act . Tho innovation, being social & technological, needs social intelligence too: see @CynnalCymru's 'Wales We Want' programme that informed the FGA.
