The 2025 Civil Defence History Network Workshop in Bern 🇨🇭 Somewhere on the train from Geneva, I lost my voice, so yesterday I held my first ever Silent Oral Presentation, fittingly on the topic of sound and sirens and featuring music, gestures and images. 😅

CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Best possible location for the ECREA Communication History Workshop 2025 on the theme of networks. Why? Because World Wide Web was founded here. First panel with three of its founding fathers, Robert Cailliau, Francois Flückiger and Pier Giorgio Innocenti.

A tiny text on the usual topic of #civildefence, #totaldefence and #preparedness. Nothing particularly new perhaps in terms of research, but it was an interesting experience for me to work with the journalist/editor at @theconversation.com theconversation.com/keep-nine-li...
‘Keep nine litres of water in storage’: how Baltic and Nordic countries are preparing for a crisis or war
The history of Russian occupation of some countries around the Baltic Sea prompts a greater awareness of risk of attack today.

Fascinating cross-disciplinary perspectives in today’s conference celebrating ”20 years of Sound Environments” at Lund University. I was honoured to be invited to speak about my #airraidsirens. And then we all took a refreshing #soundbath, led by artist Tina Quartey.
