I'm happy to share the semi-annual update to the "supply studies syllabus"—a public collection of work relevant to the critical study of logistics. There has been some amazing work in the past two(ish) years, and I wanted to highlight a few here.

1/X What kind of salesperson would I be if I didn't start with my own collection, ASSEMBLY CODES: THE LOGISTICS OF MEDIA, edited by me, @n_str, and @SusanZieger, with lots of amazing work exploring the intersection of logistics and media dukeupress.edu/assembly-codes

What's going on with global supply chains? (aka "why are we running out of everthing," "why is shipping so slow," "why are things more expensive"). A link roundup thread: 1/ The stories that started appearing over the summer about the state of global supply chains have been ramping up, and I thought it would be worth it to collect some of the articles documenting the disruption/catastrophe/reality of it all.

Sharing my summer homework:

Manifest is "an investigative toolkit for researchers, journalists, students, and scholars interested in visualizing, analyzing, and documenting supply chains, production lines, and trade networks."

supplystudies.com/manifest/ Hoping to find others interested in working on this, teaching with this, etc. Get in touch! Expect Bugs! Big thank you to my summer research students and to @coletteperold for using an earlier prototype in her class.
