We have advertised a 3-year postdoctoral position in environmental humanities, to develop and run the Greenhouse Games Lab, a new initiative for research, development, education and innovation in environmentally themed board games. #envhum #boardgames

It was a joy to be part of the celebrations, and an honour to have worked for so many years with Christof at @carsoncenter.bsky.social. Thanks to @kateelizrigby.bsky.social for writing up this shared and treasured memory!

New open-access book by RCC alumna Anna Antonova! Download it on our Environment & Society Profile. #envhum @asantonova.bsky.social

Excellent, useful new article out by my esteemed friend and colleague on film and TV studies in the context of #EnvHum. Great for teaching or for those dipping a toe into unfamiliar waters (me). Recommend!

Tomorrow (June 11), Dr. Gordon Winder, Professor of Economic Geography and Sustainability Research at LMU (@lmu.de), will present on “Marine Spatial Planning, Blue Economy, and Just Transitions.” The event is free and open to the public.

Ich wechsle mal die Sprache und das Hashtag und poste meine Rezension von dem genialen Roman Doggerland von Agnes Ravatn. Reine Lesefreude, hoffentlich findet der Text den Weg in weiteren Sprachen. #LitWiss #LiteraryTranslation

With thanks to @shokes.bsky.social for this thoughtful and generous reflection on our new film OVERBURDEN and the paradoxes posed by the convergences of #mining and #conservation for people and animals living in some of West Africa's most biodiverse and iron-rich regions. #envhist #envhum

Water water everywhere...Hot on the heels of the new Ecozona special issue "Sea More Blue," our book The Sea in Nordic Literature is coming soon! #EnvHums #BlueHumanities #Ecocriticism 🌊📚 www.routledge.com/The-Sea-in-N...

Can someone please organise another conference in NL please? ASAP? I brought this back from the #EASLCE2026 and now I'm not sure I can return to life without it.

Sad about the end of the #EASLCE2026 in Utrecht? Those working on Nordic #Ecocritism & #EnvHum can put in a proposal for the ENSCAN workshop later this year. enscan.net/workshops/re...

Spilt two drinks over myself yesterday, but I've decided it's an embodied response to the watery environs & oceanic theme of #EASLCE2026. Looking forward to more not-dry talks & messy interactions with my #EnvHum community 💦

EnvHum folks! We have a new amazing (free) webinar coming up!!! Mx Crys Clitheroe and Dr. Anna-Sophie Jürgend will discuss with participantd How Pop Culture Shapes the Meanings of Science and the Environment! Sign up now (limited spaces). www.easlce.eu/27th-easlce-...

What an amazing lineup of talks at @greenhouseuis.net this winter. I would be grinding my teeth on dismay at missing them were it not for the fact that the recordings will be available later. What a wonderful service to our #EnvHum community. Thank you, Greenhouse friends!

Decompressing after two fast-moving days in Flensburg, discussing deep time in Danish literature #EnvHum #Ecocriticism that included an inspiring encounter with rocks 🪨💎

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

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

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