I'm really looking forward to waking up early on a weekend WITHOUT feeling the need to edit my book so I can meet the deadline! #AlmostDone #SavingOurselves

#WritingLife #academicChatter #sociology

I talk about how #civildisobedience has become much more normalized among #climate #activists in my new book. Here's proof from @GretaThunberg@twitter.com and her resistance of #FossilFuel expansion in Germany #SavingOurselves https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/01/17/germany-coal-village-mud/

Like many people, I watched #GlassOnion over the holiday. Very disappointed to see Miles call them the #Disruptors--I've been using that term for #CivilSoiety actors who are engaging in more confrontational tactics for #SocialChange in #SavingOurselves...

An overdue #intro: I research, write, and speak about #climate, #activism, #protest, and #democracy. I'm professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, a non-resident senior fellow at @brookingsinst, and the president-elect at the Eastern Sociological Society.

My most recent book was #AmericanResistance (Columbia University Press 2019) and my next book (which I'm furiously trying to finish) is #SavingOurselves: from Climate Shock to #ClimateAction 🌎 🔥

Chapter 2 of #SavingOurselves is completed and, as a reward, Im taking this week off of writing to give exams, grade, and finish a bunch of other deadlines (promotion letters and such). #Phew #WritingLife #Sociology #AcademicChatter

Super overcaffinated so I might be wrong, but I definitely think I will meet my deadline for finishing the next chapter of #SavingOurselves (tomorrow!) #WritingCommmunity #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

Ps I still miss easy access to a gif library...

@gregladen I just saw this paper that contributes to this discussion (along with the chapter for the new book that I'm trying to finish ASAP) #SavingOurselves https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-environ-012220-011104
