Beautiful views on our tour of local energy infrastructure today. We were so lucky with the #Stavanger weather! #envhum

As members of ICEHO, we look much forward to the 2029 World Congress of Environmental History! Please help ICEHO reach out to as many institutions as possible. Wherever the congress will take place, we will make sure to be present! #EnvHist #EnvHum

Same to you!

My battery is pretty low after an energy-intensive day, but it has been so great to be back in Stavanger with a room full of bright minds and critical ideas! Looking forward to more tomorrow. Thanks to @melinabuns.bsky.social for organising! #EnvHum

Sad not to see you @juliaditter.bsky.social !

Energy past, energy futures... Thoughtful session at the meeting of the Netzwerk Energie& Literatur in Bochum. #envhum #petrocultures

In dieser Woche darf ich gleich zwei tolle Veranstaltung mitorganisieren. Am Dienstag die Vernissage der Ausstellung „The Art of Energy“ in Erlangen und von Do-Sa den Workshop „Energy & Future“ plus Podiumsgespräch in Bochum/Köln. Herzliche Einladung! @w-i-d.de @victoriaherche.bsky.social @fau.de

Exciting position for someone here!

Anyone have good recommendations for basic undergraduate readings/resources on the basic concept of sustainability? Bonus points if you can point me to texts on Scandinavian contexts (tekster på norsk/dansk/svensk er også greit). Thanks! #EnvHum #Sustainability #Bærekraft

Looking forward to some more good #energyhumanities conversations in Bochum next week. And to Team Petrocultures representation with @imreszeman.bsky.social and @gmacdonald.bsky.social 💡🔥⚡💨🔆

Starting my online course «Nature & Nation: An Environmental History of Norway Since 1850» today. The timing could have been better since things are ridiculously busy, but I’m still excited about this opportunity! #envhist

How the world’s taste for soya is eating Brazil’s Amazon Cultivation of the crop has made a few wealthy but at a huge cost to untouched forest as it spreads across vast areas of former wilderness

This story isn‘t about ‘the world‘s taste for soya‘, it‘s about the world‘s taste for meat. The vast majority of soya is grown for animal feed. Less than 10% is for direct human consumption. A shame it‘s not mentioned in the story.

Ive seen LLMs pushed a lot to fellow #adhd students and scholarship to "help" them with things like detail work and structuring work. Ive also seen many punished for trusting this offer of help too. Here's what to use instead:

The @easlce.bsky.social deadline for Utrecht is fast approaching and @katiekung.bsky.social and I are still looking for one paper for a panel on care & invasive species tentatively titled: “Some we love, some we hate, some we kill: why it’s so hard to care for invasive species” #ecocriticism #envhum
