First article in our 'AI Refusal: A Cultural Politics' special issue (for 'cultural geographies in practice'). @Tom_Roberts_Geo, @A_Lapworth and @RichCarterWhite offer a crucial argument for AI as a potential 'weapon of refusal' against cliches.

New article published from our Special Issue, written by Tuomo Alhojärvi @tuomo_a. Have a read!.
Now out 🕳️🕳️🕳️. @lucaspohI's article in the 'Geography & Nothingness' special issue edited by @katiecmoliver & myself. It investigates 'apocalyptic nothingness' as a way of "grappling with the very foundations of geography as an Earth-bound discipline".

Together with Casey Lynch and Sophia Maalsen, I am looking to run an RGS session on 'Authoritarianism and the Geographies of AI'. Check out our Call for Papers and get in touch if you have any questions.
