I am really excited to announce the call for the PhD Course in Energy Humanities!

Held at the @greenhouseuis.net from 1-5 December.

Applications are welcome until 24 October.

Great looking job and very useful application advice for those unfamiliar with Nordic academia!

This also reminds me of the guardian article about Curtis Yarvin in December

The provincial government in Alberta has (once again) lifted the moratorium on coal mining . They previously did this in 2020, before reinstating it the following year. I discuss this in the second part of this recently published paper, exploring coal's lingering promise doi.org/10.1080/0964...

It feels somewhat frivolous to post this with everything going on in the world, but nonetheless I feel very fortunate to be back at @uvic.bsky.social, spending the next two months reading, writing, and connecting with some of my favourite Canadian energy scholars.

We have posted two tenured positions as assistant professor in #Anthropocene history at our centre, please help share widely:

We can’t understand the geography of capitalism in our present moment without seeing how these old industries overlap with the new.

"Two Towns" features an interactive map showing how ex-industrial towns were not “left behind” but actively made into havens for low-paid work.

In one of my courses students read books about alternative economic ideas/models (e.g. @katearonoff.bsky.social, @kateraworth.bsky.social, @mazzucatom.bsky.social) and analyse how they can address sustainability challenges. I would love to include more non-European/N.American books. Any suggestions?

This news article exemplifies perfectly what Sarah Knuth and I wrote about in a paper earlier this year: How the push for timber relies on a mix of nostalgic and technofuturist visions while overly simplifying the supposed carbon benefits of these new developments.

For the Swedish speakers: one of my research projects, Changing Places of Work, is featured in the latest Forte magasin. The report (and project) explores what the transition towards fossil-free steel making means for old industrial towns. forte.se/wp-content/u...

Come work with me and the amazing team at The Center for Environment, Community, & Equity at AU! We're hiring a postdoc to work on our project studying civic engagement and activism around climate in the US. The fellow will also help oversee our new DataCorps Program. for details:

We have a Call for Papers out on ‘Green capital landing' in the journal Finance and Space. The SI highlights how carbon finance actors and instruments enable, or impede, capital to land in specific (green) territories.

The deadline for abstracts is 10 January. More info: bit.ly/RFAS1.
