Relationship: Orientation, politics, ethics, and the idea and practice of self‐determination

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract First Nations people deeply value relational modes of organising politics, governance, and social order that do not feature in European‐derived political ordering or in dominant governance and policy scholarship. While Indigenous peoples have long sought equitable and respectful relationships in the context of forced colonial engagement, the ...

When Thriving for More Collapses the System: The Academic Reproduction of Uncaring Structures

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay argues that the widening gap between aspirational aims and visionary orientations and the prevailing practices in neoliberal academia stems from deeper, historically rooted, market‐based logics shaping our institutions, increasingly governed by economic values and academic subjectivities therein.

Holographic self-tuning of the cosmological constant

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We propose a brane-world setup based on gauge/gravity duality in which the four-dimensional cosmological constant is set to zero by a dynamical self-adjustment mechanism. The bulk contains Einstein gravity and a scalar field. We study holographic RG flow

Unmanagement Education for the Age of Climate Crisis

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how embodied, situated and relational experiences outside‐the‐classroom can open space for epistemic dislocations in Management Education under conditions of ecological crisis. Drawing on a qualitative pedagogical experience in a sustainability course in Brazil, informed by Design‐Based Research—whose assumptions of control,

Spacetime Foam and the Cosmological Constant

, 2007
In the saddle point approximation, the Euclidean path integral for quantum gravity closely resembles a thermodynamic partition function, with the cosmological constant playing the role of temperature and the "density of topologies" acting as an

A New Cosmological Paradigm: the Cosmological Constant and Dark Matter [PDF]

, 1998
The Standard Cosmological Model of the 1980's is no more. I describe the definitive evidence that the density of matter is insufficient to result in a flat universe, as well as the mounting evidence that the cosmological constant is not zero.

The dynamics of cosmological scenarios inspired by quantum gravity [PDF]

, 2006
PhDIn this thesis we study the dynamics of cosmological scenarios inspired by quantum gravity. Part I investigates novel features of the semi-classical regime of homogeneous and isotropic loop quantum cosmology.

Hadrons, superconductor vortices, and cosmological constant

Physics Letters B
We explore the roles of the trace anomaly in several hadron properties. We derive the scale invariant expression for the pressure from the gravitational form factors (GFF) of QCD which results in consistent results for the mass and rest energy from the ...

Mortal relationality: waria family care and the ethics of dying in Bali Relationnalité mortelle : soins familiaux des waria et éthique des mourants à Bali

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Can a good death occur for those who balance on the edges of grievability? In Bali, where death marks a transition within the cycles of reincarnation, a good death depends on the mortuary care performed by intimate others – care that may be foreclosed to those whose lives are shaped by stigma.

Cosmological Constant Versus Quintessence [PDF]

International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2000
There is some evidence that the Universe is presently undergoing accelerating expansion. This has restored some credit to the scenarios with a non-vanishing cosmological constant. From the point of view of a theory of fundamental interactions, one may argue that a dynamical component with negative pressure is easier to achieve.
