Your Wednesday Memery
Plus greetings from the north Atlantic
So I’m enjoying Iceland, whose glaciers immediately bring to mind feminist glaciology.
Actually no, it doesn’t. Not even a little bit. Quite the contrary: it makes evident the foolishness of academics who can write things like this:
Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change. However, the relationships among gender, science, and glaciers – particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge – remain understudied. This paper thus proposes a feminist glaciology framework with four key components: 1) knowledge producers; (2) gendered science and knowledge; (3) systems of scientific domination; and (4) alternative representations of glaciers. Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-ecological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions.
In the meantime, enjoy some mid-week memes:
Anyone remember this example of media hypocrisy? Pepperidge Farms remembers:
I think Professor Hayward has launched a meme movement. If you look through Substack these days, you will note quite a few meme posts. But for subtlety and sophistication, Professor Hayward holds the meme crown.
The only "human-ice"interaction I engage in also involves gin.
