New paper! In ‘Seven Questions for Existential Risk Studies’, @CSERCambridge researchers @lalithasun , @matthijsMmaas , and @CSERSJ pose a set of open methodological, epistemic, ethical and strategic questions for the existential risk studies community to grapple with.

After the #TongaVolcano, phone links seem to be restored but the severed undersea fibre-optic cable could apparently take the repair contractor 'weeks' to fix - a reminder of the material fragility of internet infrastructure and the geopolitics of repair: reuters.com/markets/funds/un…

Infrastructure in Portland is melting under #heatdome2021. Streetcars are breaking. Bridges are warping. This infrastructure wasn't built for #anthropocene temperatures. As @yayitsrob observes, 'it was built for a different geological epoch' theatlantic.com/science/arch… #ClimateCrisis

Ever been a bit dubious about the concept of resilience? In this paper we critique its use in Indigenous health research and discuss less-individualised ways to think about ‘strengths’ as social relations, collective practices and shared identities. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
