"New cross-Nordic research project on forest cultural heritage" - the official press release and announcement for ROOTS, @wrigleyca.bsky.social's new Nordforsk-funded #envhum project on forest cultural heritage.

Last week, 15 amazing students gathered in Stavanger for a PhD course on energy humanities. It was an inspiring week during which we visited a wind farm and the students produced this wonderful catalogue filled with personal reflections on encounters with energy in its various ways and meanings.

For our last #envhum book talk of 2025, Nathan Hensley will discuss his book Action without Hope: Victorian Literature after Climate Collapse (UChicago Press, 2025) Monday Dec 8th. Join us for live talk at 16:00 CET / 10:00 Eastern. Details here: newnatures.org/greenhouse/e...

A fabulous week of energy humanities PhD course is over. We ended with a roundtable on the future of energy humanities followed by the students presenting The Energy Catalogue - a small publication they made during the week. Truly inspiring. Thanks again to @melinabuns.bsky.social for organizing!

Some happy news to share - our excellent colleague Charlotte Wrigley @wrigleyca.bsky.social leads one of the eight projects that was funded by the Joint Nordic-Baltic Initiative on Sustainable Futures for Forests this week! We are super proud of her! #envhum #heritage

December 2025 in the Greenhouse! We are winding down for the year with some exciting #envhist #envhum events.

We decorated the Greenhouse Christmas tree at our weekly open lunch today. It’s a plastic tree, to signify our deep entanglements with petroculture in the Anthropocene. Also, it was really cheap at the IKEA January sale a few years ago.

Special book talk today - we do not only talk about books, we also occasionally write them! Join @finnarne.me and @medievalpenguin.bsky.social in discussing Ghosts Behind Glass with @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social. #envhum #envhist

Once again I'm back at the British Library looking at rolls! This morning I came across a particularly damaged roll with large chunks of it having been ripped off. To keep the roll secure, the British Library had wrapped it with a 19th century application form to buy railway shares as scrap paper!

In addition to visiting archives, I am currently preparing to attend a summer school at the University of Bern next week! It will be a really exciting course on the digital humanities and medieval history which I hope will introduce me to some new methods I could use in my research. L.H. #envhum

Today I'm at the National Archives in Kew! There are a small number of court rolls stored here instead of the British Library. As I'm only in London for a few weeks, I will be taking photos of the rolls so I'm able to analyse them in more detail later. L.H. #envhum

This week I am on a research trip in London where I will be going to the British Library and National Archives! Currently I am looking at some account rolls from Ramsey Abbey to see if the Abbey was funding the construction/repair of sewers, gutters, or latrines. L.H. #envhum
