This boomer is not always up to date with the latest TikTok trends, but I have picked up the last few weeks’ commotion about the #britishteatimealarm and find it somehow relevant for our #soundscapesofwarning project. Or what do you reckon, @emilstjernholm.bsky.social ? youtu.be/pU5CLpQ7vGw?...

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

The 2025 Civil Defence History Network Workshop in Bern 🇨🇭 Somewhere on the train from Geneva, I lost my voice, so yesterday I held my first ever Silent Oral Presentation, fittingly on the topic of sound and sirens and featuring music, gestures and images. 😅

CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Best possible location for the ECREA Communication History Workshop 2025 on the theme of networks. Why? Because World Wide Web was founded here. First panel with three of its founding fathers, Robert Cailliau, Francois Flückiger and Pier Giorgio Innocenti.

First up tomorrow is Marek Jancovic speaking about the materials that films were made of. Fascinating topic! Contact @alecbad.bsky.social for Zoom link in you are interested in joining the discussion.

Added. ✔️

A tiny text on the usual topic of #civildefence, #totaldefence and #preparedness. Nothing particularly new perhaps in terms of research, but it was an interesting experience for me to work with the journalist/editor at @theconversation.com theconversation.com/keep-nine-li...

The wise owl. This engraving of 1625 features a comment on the art of being an ignorant. A short 🧵 for #skystorians.

Fascinating cross-disciplinary perspectives in today’s conference celebrating ”20 years of Sound Environments” at Lund University. I was honoured to be invited to speak about my #airraidsirens. And then we all took a refreshing #soundbath, led by artist Tina Quartey. www.lmc.lu.se/aktiviteter/...

Never too late for a two-day crash course on the biblical apocalyptic imaginary. 📖 This Cold War historian’s head is now filled with the Book of Daniel, the Book of Revelation, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. So happy to learn from my competent colleagues in the RJ program #attheendoftheworld

Reading proofs of “The History of Knowledge”.   @dlheidenblad.bsky.social's and my new book is due to be published in December. Open access and print.

Kvinnliga professorer på HT i Lund är en skamligt krympande skara och ingen jämställdhetsambition har funnits de senaste åren. Men två av de ytterst få som nu finns (särskilt rekryterade under tidigare ledning) är klart lysande stjärnor. I fjol fick Svenungsson ett RJ-program och i år Gullberg! ✅ ✅

Nytt avsnitt av podden HÖRESUND med mig och Rosanna Farbøl om svensk och dansk beredskapskultur och psykologiskt försvar under kalla kriget fram till idag #beredskap #försvar www.cors.lu.se/publikatione...

Lund 10-11 okt. Magnus Hjort från MPF inledde och ministern för civilt försvar Carl-Oskar Bohlin avrundade den första svenska forskningskonferensen om psykförsvar. Eller 2000-talets första iaf. På 1950-talet hölls ju liknande konferenser. Något för framtidens vetenskapshistoriker att studera.

The call for ECREA 2024 in Ljubljana is out! We hope for many exciting research abstracts to the Communication History Section. www.ecrea.eu/news/12969850

So pleased to see that the postdoc in digital history which I and Sune Bechmann Pedersen managed to secure to the DigitalHistory@Lund platform, is now advertised! The position will not be at our dept but in the milieu around Prof Pelle Snickars, but with strong connections. Please spread the word!

👋 Let me just place this digital remediation of a media-historical water colour painting by Lars Lerin here. Can it attract some followers?
