“Indoors or…. What is indoors?” Unsettling Settlements in Fallout 4 Fallout 4 explores blurred boundaries between inside and outside through player-built settlements, artificial environments, and survival mechanics shaped by radiation and shelter.

New Comment: "…so much to explore! The setting of Fallout 4 is so vividly detailed that it transports you right to that specific location. Each area has a distinct atmosphere and color scheme that makes you feel like you are there." - TheRetroArcade.Games

Fur and the Making of Glamour. Animal Life and Fashion Editorials in the 1950s - Department of Culture, Religion, Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Fur coats are everywhere in Oslo, and the cold seems not to be a threat to the elegant looks and glamorous outfits that populate the streets. As an Italian environmental humanist with a long-standing ...

From 19th-century "blanket coats" to Oslo's streets today, it’s a thoughtful reflection on how we frame our relationship with the more-than-human world through what we wear 🧥✨

What is an environment, really? I reflect upon this in my latest essay, in which I write about my own path toward #EnvHist and the #EnvHum. This is also a commentary on Sverker Sörlin's great piece in the latest Global Environment. Turns out we have had similar but different environments!

Ecofeminism & Postgenderism's Liberatory Effects: On Bodily Autonomy, Gender, and Environmental Justice Ecofeminism needs to move beyond binary conceptions of sex and gender. Postgenderism can help.

"A queer approach that includes transgender and non-binary people’s experiences would expand ecofeminism by breaking the constraints of essentialist expectations of bodies." @dr-ourkiya.bsky.social

"Chemical Castration": White Genocide and Male Extinction in Rhetoric of Endocrine Disruption Atrazine discourse is imbued with cultural anxieties about the extinction of normative masculinity in an increasingly toxic world

"Popular-science coverage of Hayes et al. (2010) appeals to cultural disgust for male bodies that transgress gender norms and to cultural anxieties about transgender people 'passing' as cisgender." - Meg Perret
