Another great week reflecting the national and international impact of our program:

Nancy Ettlinger will be presenting “Algorithmic Affordances for Resistance” at a workshop, “Slow Computing – A Workshop on Resistance in the Algorithmic Age” at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth (NUIM). She was invited by Rob Kitchin who runs a research center there. As many will know, NUIM is also home to OSU Graduate Alistair Fraser (PhD 2006, Kevin Cox, adviser).

Becky Mansfield gave an invited colloquium talk entitled “Chemical exposure: at the intersection of postgenomics, Anthropocene, and Trump’s deregulatory EPA” to University of Buffalo last week.

Joel Wainwright coauthored a short editorial published this week in Geoforum. It raises important issues about the journal publication industry.

As you may imagine, it is unusual to have a piece like this published by Elsevier.
