Hi all,

I'm happy to say that our book Low-Carbon Research Methods: Making Equity and Epistemological Gains Through Decarbonising Academic Work has officially published, open-access, via Goldsmiths University Press. You can download a free copy of the book here: https://www.gold.ac.uk/goldsmiths-press/publications/low-carbon-research-methods/

The book presents research methods as a site for collective organizing and experimentation in parallel efforts to make a more sustainable and inclusive global academy. Communication studies scholars will find a lot of food for thought in the book's address of data-centers as a particular site of concern, as well as the efforts to build alternative digital networks and forms of academic publishing that characterize many chapters. Plus maybe you do archival research/ethnography/close readings/Global South collaborations? All that and more have their place in the discussion.

We planning a two day series of events to launch the book and reflect on its themes next week. Please feel free to drop in to whichever day works best for you (or both if you're super keen?). We'll do a series of short readings from the chapters and a discussion/Q+A about where our thoughts have roamed since writing the book 2(?) years ago. It'll be a nice opportunity to celebrate all the work and thinking that went into this publication and ponder where we might head next.

Both events will be on Zoom, run for 1 hour, and are set to start at 11 AM EDT / 8 am PDT / 5 pm CEST

You'll need to register to attend. You can do so here:
