Update: Last year Latour generously engaged with one of my papers on terrain in a forum for Dialogues in Human Geography. Two years before we both contributed pieces to the excellent A Moving Border project. I only heard him speak once, and we didn’t meet in person, though the idea of a dialogue had been proposed around the border project.

There is a good thread on Latour from Tim Howles here

1. It is with great sadness that we learn the news of Bruno Latour’s passing today. He was an intellectual giant, a friend, & someone whose work inspired me greatly. A thread for those who want to know more about this extraordinary life. pic.twitter.com/h2Bi6XbL35
