Last week, 15 amazing students gathered in Stavanger for a PhD course on energy humanities.
It was an inspiring week during which we visited a wind farm and the students produced this wonderful catalogue filled with personal reflections on encounters with energy in its various ways and meanings.
For our last #envhum book talk of 2025, Nathan Hensley will discuss his book Action without Hope: Victorian Literature after Climate Collapse (UChicago Press, 2025) Monday Dec 8th.
Join us for live talk at 16:00 CET / 10:00 Eastern.

A fabulous week of energy humanities PhD course is over. We ended with a roundtable on the future of energy humanities followed by the students presenting The Energy Catalogue - a small publication they made during the week. Truly inspiring. Thanks again to @melinabuns.bsky.social for organizing!
Some happy news to share - our excellent colleague Charlotte Wrigley @wrigleyca.bsky.social leads one of the eight projects that was funded by the Joint Nordic-Baltic Initiative on Sustainable Futures for Forests this week! We are super proud of her! #envhum #heritage

Instant photo, still developing, of people standing around a Christmas tree
We decorated the Greenhouse Christmas tree at our weekly open lunch today. It’s a plastic tree, to signify our deep entanglements with petroculture in the Anthropocene. Also, it was really cheap at the IKEA January sale a few years ago.
