NB! @wrigleyca.bsky.social will take over research event responsibilities this term, so make sure to follow her and @greenhouseuis.net for updates from the Greenhouse! 🌿

but before that, many of us will be at the most important #envhist event this summer: #ESEH2025! see below who is going, what the will talk about, and make sure to join us on Monday evening for informal chats and drinks 👇

the academic year 2025/2026 has started here in Norway and we are slowly returning to our offices - for every one in town, @greenhouseuis.net will resume next week and Anna Grasskamp and her team from Oslo are kicking off the autumn term events on 27 August ! #envhum ☀️

This fall, The Greenhouse is offering three 5 ECTS micromodules @unistavanger.bsky.social, based in environmental history & humanities, online and open for all to take. #envhist #envhum

We are hiring! Fully tenured associate professorship in environmental history! We are looking for someone who can be a strong contributor to the history group, to a new #envhum related MA program (if all goes well), and to @greenhouseuis.net. #envhist

After 7 weeks of takeover by different members of the Greenhouse, professors, postdocs, PhDs, intern, we hope you discovered the variety of research topics and interests within our research center. It is now time for holidays, and the events will start on week 35! Thank you for following along!

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

Hello #envhum! My name is Louis Henry and I'll be doing the Greenhouse account takeover this week! I am a PhD candidate in medieval environmental history and I started at UiS this year. L.H.

Hello #envhum! That is my last post for the Greenhouse takeover, I enjoyed sharing a bit of my week here! Next week will be the last takeover of the semester, I hope you will enjoy it! You can follow me on @agathefrmrt.bsky.social if you want to continue to read about my research and interests.

Hello #envhum! As every thursday, we had lunch together, and this time with the great and sunny weather. /AFM

A very nice place to meet with the Greenhouse researchers is the Greenhouse Library. Around 3000 books to look at, and currently, even a beautiful Lego greenhouse! /AFM

Hello #envhum! Today I have to write for the PITCH project (Petroculture's Intersections with The Cultural Heritage sector). I am focusing on the individual responsibility for the green transition that is presented in the "Climate for Change" exhibition of the Stavanger Oil Museum. /AFM

Today I have spend a few hours in the Norwegian Oil Museum in Stavanger. I usually spend some time in the "Climate for change" exhibition. This time I had a look on undersea labor and the sea agency, for another project. /AFM

Today is a national holiday in Norway, so I will not be at university.It is the opportunity to take the time to reflect on my last three months of internship! I have been taking care of the amazing Greenhouse library, attending numerous talks, organizing this takeover and researching on petroculture

Hello #envhum! This week I will be posting on the Greenhouse to continue this very nice takeover! My name is Agathe Four-Moret, I am a master student in #envhum from Nantes University, France. I am researching on petroculture with a focus on the Stavanger Oil Museum, with an ecofeminist approach.

I’ve been in paper sessions at the Agricultural History Society conference today. Right now in a session on animals and rural landscapes. After a paper on feral boar by Charles Jones, Drew Swanson talking about links between deer and cars (transporting hunters & deer, monitoring, collisions, etc).

Agricultural History Society annual conference is in full swing. Opening plenary was Sean Sherman, aka The Sioux Chef, who advocates for Indigenous food ways. Reminded me that we recently talked to Sasha Gora about her book on indigenous cuisine restaurants, Culinary Claims, on the GH book talks.

This is the last official course of the Norwegian Researcher School in Environmental Humanities (NoRS-EH). www.uis.no/en/research/... NoRS-EH was really important for the #envhum field in Norway. It created a joint cooperative platform for our PhD students spread out over many universities.

Today was mainly a travel day for me as I moved from Pennsylvania to Minnesota. Now installed in St Paul for the Agricultural History Society meeting. www.aghistorysociety.org/2025-meeting

For all your desires in miniature landscapes or fragmented memories, come listen to the @greenhouseuis.net #envhum book talks! 😂 Seriously, who comes up with this stuff. Come listen to all the other topics we’ve talked about instead! Archives are here: newnatures.org/greenhouse/

Here’s my second day of birdhouse adventures in Pennsylvania

This morning (early here in the US), I’m having a planning meeting about a PhD course I’m co-teaching in November. (Applications open now!) The course is organized by the Education & Bildung in the Anthropocene Network (EBAN) funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR). I am a partner on the grant.

Here are my Day 1 US research trip highlights👇

I’m in the US on a research + conference trip, but I was up early on a video call with a funding panel in Denmark that I’ll be on. Externally-funded grants are absolutely vital in the European university ecosystem if you want to get significant research work done.

The Greenhouse is welcoming a new MSCA-funded postdoc to our Center today: Anne Hemkendreis who has developed a project called “Sámicosmologies: Exploring Indigenous Knowledge Cultures and Practices of Star-Gazing”.

after a very busy - but fantastic - spring, the @greenhouseuis.net will ease into summer over the next weeks! ☀️ too early? no worries! the account take-over will continue until the end of June, so stay tuned! thank you for a wonderful #envhum academic year 2024/2025 - see you all at #ESEH2025! 👋

Hello #envhum community! This is @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social and I’ll be taking over the Greenhouse bsky account this week. I work in #envhist but dabble in all #envhum things. I write mainly about #animalhist these days. I’m also co-director of the Greenhouse.

Good morning #envhum. Today my visit to the Greenhouse ufficially ends. In the afternoon I will travel to Oslo and on Sunday I will be back to Italy. It has been a real pleasure to know the vibrant research community at the Greenhouse, I felt a part of it and welcomed. Until the next time! FC

Hello #envhum! Today, we are following the second research talk of the week. Kiara Jorgenson is giving a talk about children's spiritual development and access to nature! FC

Hello #envhum. On this rainy day, sitting in the office with a cup of hot tea is ideal for working on the second chapter of my dissertation. In this section, I deal with the multispecies relationships that plants establish through semiotic competence. #phytosemiotics #criticalplantstudies FC

#envhum This afternoon, we follow the research talk of Camille-Mary Sharp, who will discuss oil museologies from a comparative and critical perspective. FC

Hello #envhum! Today starts the fourth Bluesky takeover week at the Greenhouse. I introduce myself, I am Federico Comollo, visiting Ph. D. candidate from Italy, and I spent two months at the Greenhouse. Today starts my last week in Norway. I work mostly on #criticalplantstudies and #plantphilosophy.

It's the final day of the UCD conference on permacrisis and polycrisis. We've spent the last 3 days getting to grips with what crisis means at this current moment, but also radical ways of shaking free from the feeling of constant destabilisation. #Envhum /CW
