So many things happening during #eseh2025, but for now:
🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨
In “The pollution-industrial complex and the making of Denmark as an environmental frontrunner, 1965-1975”
we explore how environmental regulation became a matter of technology rather than strict (and strictly) regulation.

My idea is to structure the it thematically through planetary boundaries.
But what are the best texts around these days. I have the obvious stuff: Chakrabarty, Bonneuil & Fressoz, McNeill, Brown

For those selected few who know Danish: I have written an article that synthesizes #envhum #envhis perspectives on pollution for a popular media platform. I use examples from my PhD written @greenhouseuis.net. I warn against seeing pollution as a domain reserved for techno-science and politicians.
