this @greenhouseuis.net programme is no April fool! April is bursting with activities, energy, and visitors, so make sure to drop by the online book talks or the events in Stavanger! #envhum 🌷

Energy Lives! organises its annual Infrastructural Citizen Week these days! When we hear the word ‘energy transition’ we usually think of the future, yet energy transitions have happened throughout history and have histories that continue to shape our present times. #energylives #energyhistory

Come work with me and the rest of the wonderful @greenhouseuis.net community! #envhist #envhum

The fog this morning was delicious. Taught my last class for … the year, actually! There will be a few guest appearances, but I’m not responsible for any more teaching.

The Greenhouse Library is on the move! Our giant collection of #envhum #envhist and adjacent books is finally available for use again, while awaiting our new space becoming available closer to the summer. It’ll be great!

Join us online on Monday 23 March for @brycchancarey.bsky.social discussing The Unnatural Trade: Slavery, Abolition, and Environmental Writing, 1650-1807 (Yale UP 2024) in @greenhouseuis.net #envhum book talk series. Starts 4pm CET, 3pm GMT, 10am EST newnatures.org/greenhouse/e... #ecocrit

Foggy morning matches my brain as I head to campus for an early #envhist class. We’ll be talking about more-than-human history and glaciers. I’ll shake up the usual glacier repeat photography discussion by bringing in Peter Funch’s The Imperfect Atlas. Should be fun!

laurdag, 28. mars inviterer me til ein ettermiddag der me skal utforske komfortens historie og politikk i heimen, i byen og på hytta – det er tross alt rett før påske – gjennom samtale og interaktiv kunstinstallasjon ved @finnarne.me og @sros.bsky.social www.litthusstvg.no/program/komf...

Til dette inviterer me til to fantastiske opne arrangement på Litteraturhuset i Stavanger: onsdag, 25. mars skal me diskutere kva som skjer med energipolitikken vår om me tar omsyn til samfunnets erfaringar av og kjensler kring energiproduksjon og -bruk. www.litthusstvg.no/program/emos...

I slutten av mars organiserer forskingsprosjektet Energy Lives! sin annan Infrastructural Citizen Week parallelt i Aarhus, Göteborg og Stavanger. Dette året handler alt om erindringar og erfaringar med energiomstillingar gjennom historien. #energyhistory #energylives

Tomorrow it's 15 years since the triple disaster of earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdowns struck Japan. In today's Aftenposten, I'm writing about my visits to Fukushima and what the possible lessons for Norway today are.

Thanks, past me, for writing “send emails” on my todo list. I have no idea what I was referring to specifically, but I have indeed sent some emails, so I can check that off. Good to have achieved something.

I might not care one bit about watching the winter olympics, but I have a new #envhist #energyhistory piece out in @nichecanada.bsky.social on how the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic media village built on Norwegian cabin traditions - and transformed them after the games. niche-canada.org/2026/02/09/t...

First time in ages at Hå Gamle Prestegård to see their new exhibitions. I particularly liked Helene Espedal-Selvåg’s «Common Sky» installation. www.hagamleprestegard.no/Kalender/Cal...

This is harassment. Though to be fair, my screenshots do fill the entire desktop of my 32" office monitor and a large chunk of the vertical 27" monitor next to it... Probably time for my semi-annual cleanup soon.

Looking for any STS/Env Hum folks working on biological invasion, conservations, and multispecies violence! With this combined panel, Luiza and I planned one sesh for 1. presentations and 2. ecology-humanities tandem workshop. We hope for (lots of✨) space for interdisciplinary discussion!
