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

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

‼️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.

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

Oh! And I really loved your appearance on @melhogan.bsky.social “The Data Fix” podcast. I really must to order your book from the library as there are some interesting overlaps with my recent research on climate technologies (and corporations and sustainability).

Sounds great, Matthew! I would love to hear your thoughts. It’s funny how reading other people’s work might encourage one to revisit old projects.

Another part of my dissertation has hit the streets! “In Praise of Ambivalence” explores environmentalist’s emotions in their struggle for a less polluted environment. Ambivalence signifies a specific engagement in environmental conflicts.
