Let's try this again.
Last year, I tried to get into blogging / newslettering via Substack, but I got busy with job applications and moving, and it never really got off the ground.
Now, I'm settled in Maastricht, happier with life and work, and ready to give it another shot.
The main purpose of the blog is to create a venue for critically examining news and research about corporate sustainability, sustainable finance, and other market-based sustainability “solutions.” Note the scare quotes. In doing so, I want to introduce readers to ways of thinking about sustainability that sit outside the mainstream approach, such as the definition of sustainability developed by the College of Menominee Nation’s Sustainable Development Institute or David Whyte’s contention that the for-profit corporation is inherently ecocidal. Crucially, by applying these theories to current events (like climate activists throwing soup on famous paintings) and to popular sustainability “solutions” (like electric vehicles), we can see how limited and limiting the dominant approach to framing the problem is. I'll also talk a bit about my book, which is coming out early next month (!) from NYU Press.
More soon!
