Had a grand time this week in Uppsala at #eseh talking on ‘weeds’, sacred history, and figurations of agrarian labour in EM England on a panel with the great @daancjansen.bsky.social and others! A lovely chance to hear plenty about the capacious field of environmental history today as well.

I enjoyed reading this piece by Josephine Koopman on the SHNH summer conference. It offers a wonderful summary of the presentations we heard, and teases out the shared themes our papers raised. Thank you Josephine!
