These lectures have been informative, balanced, and environments of positive learning. But most of all … just normal academic stuff.

One of the few academic spaces to engage on issues of current events. How else are we to make collective sense of things? situatingpalestine.nl/page/breach-...

It turns to a politics of transition question. How do you get access to all of that land? With what legal powers? Through what social movement? Do you incentivize existing owners or try to diverse ownership? The modeling exercise takes us only so far.

The value of Twitter was sharing your work to adjacent members in your field and getting genuine feedback. Hearing of job postings and fellowship opportunities.

This whole right to property thing gets bandied about quite a lot. Someone should look into that.

Tradeoffs are a ubiquitous metaphor than can be useful. The issue is twofold imo. The metaphor implies 1) one to one relationships which are often incomplete or variable over space and time 2) a form of exchange between parties of equal agency, when in food systems is rarely the case.

Why do I do this to myself? Why do I listen to an episode of “The Daily” that deals with a subject I know a little about?

Reposting my reply here too… Doesn’t the language of “trade-offs” obscure more than it reveals? Especially in complex systems, is it fair to try to model one-to-one relationships?

Useful paper! But I always plead authors working with social ecological systems to move away from the obscuring language of “trade-offs.”
