A short primer on the politics of geoengineering

In 2025, I wrote a short essay on the politics of geoengineering for an edited volume called Power Shift from WVU Press. I am in good company (Joshua Clover, Leah Aronowsky, Dominic Boyer, Mijin Cha, Cameron Hu, and Ashley Dawson are among the contributors). You can buy the whole book here.
