Very glad to have Mitul Baruah from Ashoka U visiting us for 2 weeks, teaching in our master' programme in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, participating a workshop which I'm organising - Ecologies of Infrastructure - and also giving a talk in the LNUCC seminar series on his book "Slow Disaster."

Happy to have two PhD students from Ashoka University with us this semester! Institutional collaboration at its best.

Congratulations - this looks amazing!! Very much looking forward to book talks and introducing it to the ma-students in postcolonial studies - and of course and the course Race and racism: a postcolonial perspective.

Had to leave the #ESEH early for a meeting and simultaneously visited Sweden's 3rd oldest oak, the Stufvenäs oak: 800 years! An oak grows for 300 years, lives for 300 years and dies for 300 years according to the sign.

Very excited to receive the paperback of my book, which was published last year. It is a study of the varying economic practices of the Moravian (Herrnhuter) missionaries in St. Thomas, Bethlehem (PA), and Greenland.
