[Environment-readinggroup] Picking up after a long winter break

[Fieke]

Hi fellow readers,

After a long winter break we want to start reading again.

*New time and date:* the reading group collides with Janna and mine 
teaching schedule, so untill the summer we want to move the reading 
group to *Wednesday at 16.00 CET*

*Next readings:* we decided to try and read each others work this year, 
so let me know if you are working on a draft paper/chapter/essay that 
you would like to share and discuss with the group. I have put some 
place holders in the schedule that we can fill with your writings!

For next session de Waag volunteered their position paper (attached in 
this email), please do not circulate as it is a draft.

  * February 26: There are two readings. The draft position paper of the
    Waag on regenerative infrastructures (see attached) and ‘The compost
    engineers and sus saberes lentos: a manifest for regenerative
    technologies <https://codingrights.org/docs/compost_engineers.pdf>‘
    by Joana Varon and Lucía Egana
  * March 12: Michelle Murphy 'Afterlife and decolonial relations' and
    'Chemical Regimes of Living' (find both reading attached)
  * March 26: [a suggested writing] or book chapter Jansen. F and ten
    Oever N. ' More compute for a burning planet? A scarcity approach to
    AI infrastructures'
  * April 9: Anne Tsing 'On Nonscalability: The Living World Is Not
    Amenable to Precision-Nested Scales'
  * April 23: [place holder for writing from the group]
  * May 7: Max Liboiron, Manuel Tironi, and Nerea Calvillo 'Toxic
    politics: Acting in a permanently polluted world'
  * May 21: [place holder for writing from the group]

Reach out to me for questions, reading suggestions, comments etc. and 
look forward to seeing you all again next week!

Best Fieke
