Exhausted & energized after four days of fieldwork with the excellent #energylives team in Finland. What does it mean to be neighbors with oil refineries, nuclear power plants, and shipping harbors in Porvoo, Loviisa, and Naantali? Blog post coming to The Current, stay tuned

Time for Finnish smoke sauna. I’m about to be very cold and very hot, back and forth, for a few hours. What a way to start a week of #energylives fieldwork!

Oh! This looks very useful for the #energylives project, we definitely need to get together to read and discuss this text. Thanks for writing it!

We have two sessions organized by the #energylives project today. First, from 11:35-12:50 in room 3.230, «Energy (In)Justices: Social and Cultural Perspectives on the Use(rs) of Heating Technologies», with papers from Bengt Sandin, Damiana Salm, Bue Poulsgaard et al, and Odinn Melsted. #shot2025

That’s me. Talking about how Joy has influenced me as a historian. And how that this really led to our current #energylives project. I don’t think it’s wrong to think of the project as a tribute to Joy.

Stamp art in my hotel. Looking forward to exploring the Belval campus tomorrow - once Luxembourg’s largest steelworks, now a university campus. Our #energylives session will make use of the site, sending people out on sensory energy walks.

Such a great few days talking about emotion, sensation, and energy with all the brilliant people on the #energylives project at Chalmers, Gothenburg. The hydrogen dome definitely wins the prize for coolest workshop venue yet.

On my way home after three fantastic days in Gothenburg with the #energylives project team and invited guests, exploring the meeting of energy history and sensory & emotional history. The weather was great and the people even better!

District heating is a key case in the Energy Lives! project, so it’s interesting to read this theguardian.com piece. We had district heating from a waste incineration plant in our house in Northern Sweden, heated floors in the winter. Energy transitions do not have to be uncomfortable. #energylives
‘The heat you need at a reasonable price’: how district heating can speed the switch to clean energy
In Sweden, most residential heating and hot water comes from heating networks – helping to pool resources and innovation

For the first Infrastructural Citizen Week, project partners in Aarhus, Gothenburg, and Stavanger invite citizens and locals to sensory energy walks with the aim to collectively explore how we can sense energy infrastructures and energy transitions.

4 - We live with energy, we live through energy, and energy lives with us. Energy shapes our lives either in subtle or in dramatic ways. And yet, for some this energy is of greater personal proximity than to others.

In 2025, the project focuses on the emotional and sensory experiences of and around energy and energy transitions.
Energy production, energy use, and energy transitions are not only technological processes but also bodily encounters.

2 - In our society, the visual sense usually dominates all the others. And with the eye, it is not difficult to spot energy or energy infrastructure. When I spent time in Bristol in 2023, I became obsessed with the city’s fuse poles and would document a different one each day.
