#ClimateDiary 2/3 Today i had one of those “pavement” flashbacks, when you suddenly remember a street corner from years ago in great detail. It was George Square in #Edinburgh, where I did my first degree. Made me think about how orderly and solid everything seemed then, like George Square itself: i was just living a student life, studying history. I most definitely did not have any lectures on living in a #PolyCrisis or the need for activism

3/3 it made me feel so much, or even more, for my students this year, all that uncertainty and real fear. Of course, just as my sense of security was misguided then, my students today, too, might feel muxh less worried than i think. But it’s made me really question whether it was right to give this kind of lecture, and that it really needs to be done well. I tried to, of course, but still worried. Difficult to know what and how we should teach now. #ClimateDiary

@johnnyforeign I am afraid I don't think I can share the talk - can't share PDFs here, and too embarrassed to share the recording - next year! but here is a paper where i - very briefly, and very badly, talk about this idea. The whole paper is not great, as very quickly written, and Murmurations is only one part, at the end, but anyway.. It comes from Andy Stirling, by the way, but I think they use it in a slightly different way. Really hope it helps a little
