We are hiring a new PhD student in the history group @unistavanger.bsky.social. There are several possible topics, including «Intersections between history education and education for sustainable development/environmental citizenship», which should be interesting for the #envhist #envhum crowd.

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.

Such a treat to be in the US days before P-day, thanks to @fredrikjonsson.bsky.social and CEGU. Not only was I lucky to present at the most generative workshop, but walking round Chicago, and experiencing its space, scale, and ahem “energy” reminds me of why I started this project. shorturl.at/Nd7oh
