"Future essentialism in technology politics is most pernicious when it effectively automates our futures. We need a more complex, diverse, and open approach to technology and its politics than that conceived in programmes for automation."

Nuevo artículo de @mfressoli y @smithadrianpaul sobre innovación abierta y colaborativa 👇
Modelos de innovación se ocupan de actores habituales y fijos. No tienen mucho que decir sobre actores emergentes y subjetividades incipientes. ¿Cómo serían modelos que den cabida a actores y subjetividades más diversos y dinámicos? Nuevo artículo: https://t.co/7JJ2nspku5

Come do a PhD with @Gerardo_atc and I through @EDRC_UK @SussexNRGGroup and @SPRU. We're looking for someone to go deep and pick apart tricky questions of governance, social, and collective organisation that shape potential for energy demand reduction. https://t.co/UIhwH9VD0A

1/ 📣 Sussex PGRs and academics! 📣 First the good news: Just 15 minutes after our post, the University reached out to schedule a meeting with our PGR Execs. But today we learned we will not receive an offer at that meeting! After *5 months* of waiting, all we get is more delay.
1/🚨 @sussexuni misses another deadline for DT contract offers leaving PGRs in limbo. This recurring pattern of delay and disregard for the most vulnerable members of our community is unacceptable. Despite months of promises, PGRs are left waiting for fair pay and recognition 🚨
