SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: Suicide by Roger Hallam
DESCRIPTION:[Eroding Ed’s note: Fuck Roger Hallam\, and boo to Housman’s for stroking his ego. We’d delete it but the event is on radar and our script will just import it again.] \nHousmans welcome Roger Hallam to discuss his essential new book: Suicide: The Political and Legal Implications of Creating Endless Mass Death. In the age of climate collapse\, telling the truth has become a criminal act. From a cell in Wayland Prison\, Roger Hallam—farmer\, researcher\, and co-founder of Just Stop Oil—delivers a searing indictment of a legal system that punishes those who resist\, while protecting those who destroy. In July 2024\, Hallam was dragged from a British courtroom for refusing to stay silent about the climate crisis. For “conspiracy to cause a public nuisance\,” he was sentenced to five years in prison—the harshest punishment for civil disobedience in the UK in modern British history. The case made front-page news and drew global outcry. \nSuicide is part memoir\, part political reckoning. Drawing on Hallam’s award-winning research and experience representing himself in four Crown Court trials\, it lays bare the moral and legal failures of a society sleepwalking into catastrophe. From climate science and the right of necessity\, to the collapse of democratic norms and the illusions of secular reason\, this is a radical call to rethink justice\, truth\, and duty in the face of extinction.

SUMMARY:FREEDOM IN INFORMATION: A WORKSHOP ON FOIs\, DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS\, AND REDACTED FILES with Statewatch 
DESCRIPTION:It is becoming more and more difficult to get to the facts of the matter. The long-awaited release of government records arrive blackened out — heavily redacted and illegible. Declassified documents\, verifying war crimes and clandestine military operations\, turn damp and moth-infested in archival warehouses and basements. Freedom-of-Information requests are rejected on grounds of research costs and lack of specificity. These procedural roadblocks exist whilst the rightwing pundits often enjoy boundless informational and epistemic freedom in a post-truth climate. \nGiven that the act of reading declassified/redacted documents and writing FOI requests is a complicated and exhausting process\, the proposed workshop encourages attendees to refine their FOI writing skills — with attention paid to the specific conventions of EU\, US\, and UK FOI frameworks. The workshop will also provide attendees an opportunity to read a range of recently declassified materials collectively\, opening up the space to communal interpretation and analysis. Through an interactive program\, we will consider the forms and genres of classification\, attend to particular strategies of gatekeeping\, blackboxing and obfuscation\, and finally\, explore recent and emerging forms of ‘epistemic’ violence and alethocide (the deliberate destruction of truth). The workshop will be followed by a lecture on the writing and study of history in ‘redacted times’. \n
