What material and epistemic politics is produced by "general purpose technologies" like AI and blockchain? What are the conditions for claims to generality, what are the consequences, and what alternatives are we left with? This and more here👇 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Fintechs increasingly selling their loans to private credit investors, largely due to rising costs of capital & interest rate hikes. This may increase integration of #fintech and traditional finance but also heighten risks in the private #credit market ft.com/content/206e07…


Kenyan diaspora #remittances hit a record high in a single month in August at US$427 million. The United States continues to be the largest source of remittances to #Kenya, while #Tanzania stands out as the leading African contributor. kenyanwallstreet.com/diaspora-inflo…

This fantastic special issue is now fully published! 🙏 @BernardsNick @MalcolmCV @DaiviRTaylor for an excellent coordination. Glad to have contributed a piece on how the institutional design of digital humanitarian projects shapes power asymmetries

@ClaraEgger1 writes about implications of the centrality of PPPs in emerging ‘digital humanitarianism’, arguing that most of these projects represent ‘neo-colonial practices with a digital touch.’ journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

As promised, short thread on the articles in this SI: Our intro (link👇), shows how efforts to resolve myriad sustainability challenges with new tech are depoliticising, and argues for a research agenda challenging these dynamics. 1/

At very long last, @DaiviRTaylor, @MalcolmCV and my special issue of @envplanc on ‘repoliticizing the technological turn in sustainability governance’ is out! Will do a proper thread on all the articles later, but for now here’s the intro (open access): journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
