Thanks @lisaschipper.bsky.social. It was great to meet everyone 😀

Most gambling losses are from at-risk gamblers Australia has some of the highest rates of gambling in the world, with a third of Australian adults using poker machines at least once a year. But it’s a

"Australians lose $13 billion to pokies each year. At least $10 billion in poker-machine losses (84%) come from at-risk gambling according to this calculation"

Just so gross how much pokie profit comes from the vulnerable. New @australiainstitute.org.au analysis:

This is the most incredible book.

Thank you so much! :D :D

The Political Ecology of Climate Change Adaptation was one of the first political ecology books I read as a Master's student and it absolutely sparked my interest in research. So, having
@marcusetaylor.bsky.social engage so closely with my work was a really special experience!

Once I calmed down, my viva was a great experience which lead to a really generative discussion about my work and future directions. I am really thankful to my examiners Mark Usher (UoM) and @marcusetaylor.bsky.social for their engagement with my work.

Really pleased to share that on Monday I passed my PhD viva 😀 Studying for my PhD has been such a privilege thanks to the support I have had from countless people. Particularly, thanks to the endless support of my supervisors, Alison Browne, @natemillington.bsky.social, and Erik Swyngedouw.

Thanks, Sarah!

A bit shocked but also excited to share that Kavindra (Ravi) and I have been awarded one the three 2024 Geoforum Best Student Paper Awards 😀

Our paper explores how the political and socio-material afterlives of mega irrigation-development projects continue to emerge and evolve over time.

Hi Labour, rather than learning all the wrong lessons from this election defeat - what about taking some people out of poverty and improving some lives?

I love that there is peer reviewed research calling ChatGPT bullshit so much 😭

The average American has 3 eggs, but has demand for 15. So here are 12 photographs of eggs. I am a business man.

I got scammed last year, it was horrible and I felt so silly. Follow this advice! (for friends in the UK)

So great to see this out! :D Congrats @lucaspohl.bsky.social and Erik :D

Is climate maladaptation "unintentional"? Should it be considered "unanticipated"? Our new article published in Climatic Change digs into this question: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Thank you so much :D

Picture of the top of the new Open Access paper in Global Environmental Change led by Marcus Taylor from Queen's University in Canada. The paper is entitled 'Integrating power, justice and reflexivity into transformative climate change adaptation' and was published on 19 February 2025 and can be found at https://authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S0959-3780(25)00018-4

Figure 1 from the new paper by Taylor et al shows that to make justice the focus of adaptation requires acknowledging power relations, embracing knowledge pluralism, fostering bottom-up actor coalitions and recognising tradeoffs and unintended outcomes of adaptation projects.

📢 New Open Access paper alert!
Led by Marcus Taylor, we argue that projects should centre justice as the primary goal of transformative adaptation by confronting power relations, embracing knowledge pluralism and bottom-up coalitions, & recognising unexpected outcomes. doi.org/10.1016/j.gl... 1/2
