We are now accepting proposals from scholars interested in applying for the EU's Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships program in 2026. This is a great program for early career (<8 yrs from PhD) scholars to be with @greenhouseuis.net for 2 years on own project.

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.

Our new Masters Program in Public Environmental Humanities now has an Instagram page. It’s a bit rudimentary still, but we are grateful for follows, as Meta restricts new accounts significantly. www.instagram.com/mapeh_uis #envhist #envhum

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.
