Environmental Studies and Weil

 So far I have located 3 works dealing with Weil and the environment including  Gerber's 2020 work "Degrowth and Critical Agrarian Studies in Journal of Peasant Studies.



Boris Souvarine

 To date I have identified 6 works about Weil and Souvarine including Souvarine's work on Weil.  

Palliative care

 I am continually impressed by the breadth of interest in Weil.   There is a just published article by Aldis Petriceks on Weil entitled " A negative Effort: Simone Weil and the Ethics of Attention in Palliative Care in the journal Palliative & Supportive Care.  In this article Petriceks notes "  her writings on attention merit no less analysis from the modern palliative care clinician."

Bibliography update

After a very long hiatus again I am back to updating the online Simone Weil Bibliography.   I have over 90 new items ready and will be adding them over the next few months.  Publication rate for works on Weil seems to increase every year!
