About the Blog.

The blog was founded in 2008. It mostly contains essays I wrote prior to and during my undergraduate degree in Sociology and Political Economy (2009-2012). New posts tend to be abstracts for upcoming talks and papers, random things I write up, and the occasional guest post.

The title of the blog comes from Mary Douglas' Purity and Danger, where she writes that when conducting cosmological analysis you need to begin by seeking the principles of power and danger.
