SAND RUSH has won a prize 😃🏖️! Many thanks to all the colleagues at UEA+the Arthur Miller Institute for their hard work championing new research in American studies🇺🇸! This prize is a collective Northumbria AMS win: the book was made so much better just from hanging out with my smart colleagues 💜

@rebwright.bsky.social and @elsadevienne.bsky.social and I would love for any and all of you to join us for a chat on the place of ideas in 20th century US #envhist and more!

I really can’t wait for this. So excited to talk about ideas, American studies, and environmental history with @parhee.bsky.social and @elsadevienne.bsky.social .

✅ Do you teach about the US & the environment? ✅ Do you work in the UK? Then please take this survey ✍️ put together by Sam Hawksford White on behalf of BAAS @officialbaas.bsky.social app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/hull/green... It'll result in a report showcasing good practice #envhist #envhum

Who wants free books? These are some of the titles that we at @urbanhistory.bsky.social are looking to review. Let me know if you or a friend want one, or if you have other suggestions. First, @rebwright.bsky.social's fabulous looking history of mid century US energy regimes:

We are hiring a new PhD student in the history group @unistavanger.bsky.social. There are several possible topics, including «Intersections between history education and education for sustainable development/environmental citizenship», which should be interesting for the #envhist #envhum crowd.

Such a great few days talking about emotion, sensation, and energy with all the brilliant people on the #energylives project at Chalmers, Gothenburg. The hydrogen dome definitely wins the prize for coolest workshop venue yet.

Can’t wait for this!

A reminder of an upcoming webinar organised by ESEH UK & Ireland region on 'New Directions in Urban Climates of the Atlantic Archipelago' May 20, 2025: 13:00 – 15:00 (GMT +1) Presenters: @erikahanna.bsky.social @rebwright.bsky.social @chrisjpearson.bsky.social Zoom link eseh.org/envhistoday-...

Tune in on Monday 12 May, at 4pm CET to hear more about “Moral Energy” at the Greenhouse book series @finnarne.me @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social. I will be talking about why the language of energy matters, and what an energy ethics could be. Come ask me hard questions. newnatures.org/greenhouse/e...

"Moral Energy in America" by @rebwright.bsky.social explores how a distinctly American way of thinking about energy shaped US culture, society, and politics throughout the first half of the twentieth century. www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

Loved watching this from the hotel room (almost) next door!

Such a treat to be in the US days before P-day, thanks to @fredrikjonsson.bsky.social and CEGU. Not only was I lucky to present at the most generative workshop, but walking round Chicago, and experiencing its space, scale, and ahem “energy” reminds me of why I started this project. shorturl.at/Nd7oh

Really looking forward to this!

Look what has just arrived in the post. In slight disbelief that I can finally hold it. Not long till publication day now. Out on the 29th of April! Eeek… #EnvHist #energyhist shorturl.at/xlMad

Would you like to spend a few months in Edinburgh in 2025-26 working with our brilliant Environmental Humanities community and, ahem, enjoying the Scottish weather? The application portal for EEHN Visiting Research Fellowships is now open.

I wrote a blog post for my beloved local zero-plastic shop 'Lentil and Lather' in Manchester. If you've missed all the plastic treaty negotiation discussions, this is a good summary if I may say so myself! I love this little shop & its fantastic owners www.lentilsandlather.co.uk/blog/does-sh...

Woot woot! Give us a follow 🇺🇲!

This is where I would be if I was in London tonight!

So great to teach #envhist at Kielder today with grod.bsky.social matthewjkelly.bsky.social Freezing temperatures didn’t dampen spirits, and a friendly robin even joined our tour.

Its been a long time coming, but my book finally has a cover, and a website, and you can even pre-order it. Now off to finish the proofs! tinyurl.com/3c4emsfn
