Our book is out OPEN ACCESS. Please enjoy a FREE BOOK on how we could remake academic research methods for climate action, and fix a lot of inequities in the process. https://www.gold.ac.uk/goldsmiths-press/publications/low-carbon-research-methods/

DIY Methods, our little conference-by-zine about unconventional approaches to research, rises again! Maybe you'd like to make a zine on your weird/cool approach to methods, and receive a bundle of similarly weird/cool zines in the mail? Pitch submissions are due April 20th.
