Assistant professor @AdamDKKing1 has a new article in @jacobin about flight attendants at Air Canada fighting for a new contract.
The same things that make modern flying unbearable for passengers — corner cutting, cost hikes, staffing shortages — define life on the job for flight attendants.
Air Canada attendants have had enough, and they’ve voted to move into strike position.

When The Pine Needles Fall is now a multi-award-winning national bestseller, but honestly it is been most gratifying to hear teachers enthusiastically embracing the book to teach about the Mohawk Resistance of 1990. Changing the narrative was the goal, so thanks for your support!

Excited to share my joint work with Janet Currie: Wildfires worsen mental health not just through smoke, but also evacuations, economic losses & climate anxiety. This study is close to my heart, mental health deserves more space in climate policy.
