Anyone knowing when exact(ish) carbon capture and storage stopped being categorized as geoengineering? It seems like it just slipped into being an ordinary feasible technology?

I am so much looking forward to this conversation!!!

Check out this guest lecture at U. of Stavanger this Friday with Professor Mathias Danbolt from Copenhagen U. "Monumental Expectations: Notes on Queer, Feminist, and Antiracist Public Memoralization in Norway."
@sebmergence.bsky.social and I will have a podcast interview with him soon as well.

So great to get your thoughtful insights!

So many things happening during #eseh2025, but for now:

🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨

In “The pollution-industrial complex and the making of Denmark as an environmental frontrunner, 1965-1975”
we explore how environmental regulation became a matter of technology rather than strict (and strictly) regulation.

Lucky to be a part of such a great team!

Come join us for a drink and a convivial time.

Especially if you are attending the conference alone: feel free to hang out and get to know us (and other cool people too!)

✨️We invite early career scholars & friends for a networking event at #eseh2025! Tuesday, at 19:30, in Fjölnir student pub (check program). There will be drinks and snacks 🍺🍕. See you there!

Yes! But it also made me wonder if 1st and 2nd year history students are up for dense stuff like yusoff.

Fantastic, Sandra!

To clarify: texts by anyone but white dudes

Extra points for texts by non-white dudes

I am developing a course titled “Anthropocene Histories, History in the Anthropocene” at UCPH.
My idea is to structure the it thematically through planetary boundaries.

But what are the best texts around these days. I have the obvious stuff: Chakrabarty, Bonneuil & Fressoz, McNeill, Brown

I am thrilled to announce that I will be collaborating with Adam Wickberg and the brilliant group at KTH's Centre of Excellence for Anthropocene History this fall as a visiting scholar. So, if you are in proximity to Stockholm between September 1st and December 1st and want to hang out: HMU

I am really proud to see this thing out and it’s only because @smueller.bsky.social and Livia Cahns amazing work (and patience)

Edizioni Ca' Foscari Edizioni Ca' Foscari - Venice University Press

Translucence: Some Notations on Sediments, Amber, Toxic Chemicals, and the Possibility of Returns

In collaboration with my friend and sound artist Korana Jelača who composed a piece that accompanies the text. Very experimental

‼️NEW EPISODE ALERT ‼️

This brand new episode, with my co-host @andersriel.bsky.social and guest Tone Huse, explores the colonial manifestations through architecture in kalaallit nunaat and how temporalities can reinforce the colonial project, but also be sites of resistance.

For those selected few who know Danish: I have written an article that synthesizes #envhum #envhis perspectives on pollution for a popular media platform. I use examples from my PhD written @greenhouseuis.net. I warn against seeing pollution as a domain reserved for techno-science and politicians.

The piece is a strong contribution to the prevalent discussions within the environmental justice literature and chemical/pollution humanities where terms like "slow violence," "shadow places," and "multispecies justice" are some of the major references.

The article suggests other kinds of sensibilities that might help us reckon with the devastating consequences of living in a permanently polluted world where toxic exposures become harder to experience immediately.

Toxic displacements: An environmental justice perspective on a chemical waste site in Denmark In this article we examine the problem of toxic waste and its entanglements with environmental justice in the Anthropocene from the perspective of Har…

Check out this article on chemical pollution in Denmark and the displacement effects it has created across space, time, and species lines.

What’s happening in the US is starting to feel more like a hacking than an election, with Trump basically cast as the idiot who clicked on the phishing email that let the ransomware guys in. Struck by how crucial tech not politics reporters are to us understanding it

Amazing!!!

Please get in contact if/when you are in Copenhagen. And if you want to present something, let me know; I Co-coordinate weekly seminars at Centre for Sustainable Futures at UCPH.

Sounds fascinating, Hannah!! I’ll send you an email and let’s stay in touch - I would love to learn more about your work on the Minimata disease campaign!

Thank you! This is only excerpts. We have a pdf trailer available if you are interested! Oh and I can’t take credit for the illustration - it’s my good friend (and now colleague) artist Asbjørn Skou.!
