Augmenting Christmas: Artificial Trees and the Lure of Perpetual Nature Artificial Christmas trees evolved from feather and aluminum novelties to plastic simulations, revealing desires for safer, cleaner, “better” nature and modern convenience.

I heard @historiamagoria.bsky.social talk about this research at #eseh2025 this summer, wonderful to see a post on it before the holidays! #envhist

We've added a new post to our blog, presenting the second-prize-winning poster from #eseh2025 in Uppsala – Johannes Ellingsen’s visually striking poster investigates the resurgence of heath-burning in Norway. Online here: whitehorsepress.blog/2025/09/30/e... #envhist

Honoured to have won the @eseh.bsky.social St Andrews Prize for my article 'Making Beds in Early Modern England'! You can read more about the prize below and check out the article here: academic.oup.com/histres/arti...

🌍 At ESEH 2025 in Uppsala, our researchers Nataša Henig Miščič, Ivan Smiljanič, Marta Rendla, and Sara Šifrar Krajnik presented their work on floods and hydropower. The conference offered valuable insights into environmental history.

Really enjoyed learning from this excellent panel! #energyhistory #architecturalhistory #landscapehistory #socialhistory #heat #cold #climate #envhist #ESEH2025

I so enjoyed your conference paper, in addition to the Department of Seaweed! #ESEH2025

Lovely photos! Thanks for serving as our chair for the #plastics #ESEH2025 panel!

I loved this part of the recent #ESEH2025! #swimming #envhist #historians #cold #water #rivers #Uppsala #Sweden

A highlight of #ESEH2025: the Polar Bear Swim! Was so great to meet so many other swimmers - by FAR the biggest conference swim to date!

Thank you #ESEH2025 for a fantastic conference in Uppsala, with stimulating sessions like this one in the Humanities Theater about ‘New Histories of Climate Denialism.’ It’s amazing to see how the society is flourishing almost 25 years after our first gathering in St. Andrew’s in 2001!

Many thanks to @elsadevienne.bsky.social for organizing us! #ESEH2025 #plastics #history

Still decompressing from #ESEH2025 week but hey was it good!

Huge thank you to @eseh.bsky.social & local @uu.se organisers for an amazing #ESEH2025. Seeing old friends & meeting new people; great research & wonderful art.

With just under a year of my contract left and the job market being what it is this may have been my last ESEH conf - but it was good :)

#ESEH2025 also involved seaweeding with artist Julia Lohmann from the Department of Seaweed!

And it’s a wrap on #ESEH2025!

What an honour to have been part of the panel “From the Inside Out: The Environmental and Health Implications of Regulating the Indoor Environment” featuring dusty, hot, and cold homes across the 19th and 20th centuries in Germany, France and Britain

What a treat it was to have attended #ESEH2025 in Uppsala! A tremendous conference overflowing with knowledge and insights shared by inspiring and generous people! This #PlantEnthusiast and #MuseumNerd is now heading back home full of ideas and enthusiasm!

Thank you so much @eseh.bsky.social & local organisers @uu.se for yet another fabulous conference. Seeing long-time friends, making new ones, listening to great papers, being part of a lovely panel & producing a pop-up exhibition has been an absolute blast. See you all soon. 🤗

In other news, after two months of obsessive work and a week of conferencing at #eseh2025 I just submitted my #ERC proposal on the #envhist of #sound. Wish me luck!

Great session yesterday at #eseh2025 #boardgaming empathy and uncertainty in the Anthropocene with Sven Seelinger (Uni Augsburg). So much fun! #envhist

#ESEH2025 in Uppsala is officially over. Many thanks to Patrick Kupper for convening our panel “Nature Conservation in the Habsburg Empire and beyond”, @pavlasimkova.bsky.social for chairing it and everyone for five days of stimulating discussions! Until next time!

Spam publisher email offering to publish a full length paper from our social event abstract.

Hey #eseh2025, I’m looking for co-authors among the people who came for beers at the Greenhouse social event, here’s a chance to write it all up as a full-length paper! 😂

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.

Impressions from #eseh2025: a speech by Linnaeus himself, grandiose academic architecture and a quaint natural history museum. But, above all, wonderfully engaging panels and workshops. And, abover all, catching up with old and new friends. Many thanks to the organizers!

On my way home after a good but intense week at #eseh2025. Very fittingly, the rain is pouring down and all the planes are delayed at Arlanda. The fun is over! Hoping we can make the logistics of going to #eseh2027 in Salzburg work. #envhist

Great panel on the #Anthropocene in the last session of #eseh2025 ✨️

Justin Robert’s paper & comments wear read by Linda & Petter respectively as there is currently industrial action at his university. #ESEH2025 is of course happening during times of great disruptions in academia.
