Most professional websites don't show what anthropologists like to call “messy humans”. This page leans into the messiness and the work in progress of my research, thinking, and writing that is not shown on my github or mastodon account.

The plan is to upload new blogs haphazardly, share first drafts and half-baked thoughts. The foci will lie on waste management and energy systems but might occasionally expand beyond to include other aspects including themes around science and technology studies.

A running list of texts from which my research builds further can be found here:

Like a good geriatric millennial, I do not own a tv or a subscription to any video streaming services, but I am a fan of podcasts, substacks, and mailinglists and will list my favorites here:
