It was a lot of emails and a lot of Zoom in the making ... but it was a really wonderful week. Also, Moomin chocolate biscuits are the BEST. #wceh2024

Contributing a piece to it was one of my personal highlights at the #WCEH2024 conference. And I talked to so many interesting people while I was stitching 🌹🍃

So far I've put the kettle on three times just to forget I wanted tea, put my painkillers with my hats and my hat in my bathroom, and connected my phone to the charger but forgot to plug in said charger.
Any other people recovering well from #WCEH2024?

Foto from the audience of a stage with a good dozen air guitarists
#WCEH2024 @iceho.bsky.social was an absolute joy. Learned so much, met new people & dear friends & colleagues. Lovely to see so much interest in #museums. 🫶🏻 #Oulu was delightful & hosts an annual air guitar world championship. It was spectacular!

Night train from Oulu to Helsinki
Helsinki station
Panorama view from port Terminal 2, Helsinki
On my return trip from #WCEH2024 in Oulu to Berlin, I spent the night on a train to Helsinki. Now I am waiting for the ferry to Tallinn, where I'll get on a bus to Warsaw.

Several people in various states of hard rock undress, play air guitar on a stage while a the audience presses in close with hands and phones in the air. The light is bluish green with beams of stage lights illuminating the crowd.
To err is human. To air guitar... is divine. #WCEH2024

A steel sign reads "Philajaphia" on the University of Oulu campus.
Modernist University of Oulu campus which had areas coded by color, according to program and elevated signage (above the typical snowline) giving it Bauhaus/modernist ski-lodge type of character.
Sámi scholar Áile Aikio delivers the keynote at World Congress of Environmental History on Monday evening, August 19th, at the University of Oulu, in Finland. Here, she shares the Sámi concept of Jorrat, from her book *Saamelainen museo? Tutkimus saamelaisen kulttuuriperinnön ontologisesta politiikasta*, which explores the ontological politics of Sámi cultural heritage as it is presented and negotiated in museum spaces.
Definitely not Philadelphia! #WCEH2024

Wooden building facade with chipping red paint, white window trim, and old fishing gear tacked on the wall. There are green plants in foreground beside the structure, which has a beige door with white trim, and a brass slot for letters. There is a red geranium in the slightly off-kilter window, to the left of the doorway, which has three concrete steps leading up to it and a small window portal above.
Detail view of shadows across a pressed pebblestone plaza. Planters for Mountain Ash trees have larger stones. The smaller pressed pebblestone plaza has green moss growing on it. It is sunny and the shadows of the tree trunks and their dappled canopy are upon the ground.
A mountain ash tree and willow tree on a sunny day, near the Syynimaa housing complex in Oulu, Finland. The sky is very blue and trees are mostly green, except the mountain ash in the foreground, on the right, which has red berries. There is also yellow goldenrod along the walking path, and a red roof from the housing complex along the left side of the frame in the middleground.
A single allée of willow trees on a canal and walking/bike path in Oulu, Finland. The evening sunlight is reflecting from the trees' bark and leaves, and the surrounding water, giving the trees a kind of glow.
Yellow, red, green, blue conference landscapes #wceh2024
Loved the mossy pavers, hint of pine and seabreeze in the air & all of the mountain ash trees! I'll miss the easy public transit here when I return to the States--so many bike and walking paths...and buses!

Three scholars, Charlotte Leib (Yale University, USA), Elodie Edwards-Grossi (Paris Dauphine University, France), and Mattin Biglari (University of Bristol, England) stand for a photograph in front of the World Congress for Environmental History sign and University of Oulu logo, in the main conference building.
Geometric sculptures in the courtyard in front of a colorful modernist building complex on the University of Oulu campus.
The sun ets across the horizon in Oulu. Grasses and sand in the foreground. Silhouettes of trees in the middle ground; water at left. The sky is fairly clear and purple-hued clouds recede towards the sun and orange sunset horizon.
Some photos from a diverse, lively gathering of 700+ delegates in Oulu, Finland at the World Congress of Environmental History.
Thank you to the organizers & to the participants in our "Petroleum Century and the Transformation of Global Landscapes" sessions! #wceh2024

Closing keynote by Dr Amal Ghazal - ‘Across disciplines and communities: networks of knowledge and transformation’
As a not-a-historian at a world environmental history congress, I think this is worth staying for at the end of a wonderful, busy, convivial week #wceh2024

Photo of the entire finished quilt showing 50 pieces of environmental craftivism
My own contribution with a monarch butterfly and other insects and flowers. Text: imagine no borders, accept no less
I now refuse to go to any conference that doesn’t end with a conference quilt - what a fab thing to have at the end of #WCEH2024 Many thanks to the organisers - I hope they get sponsored to do the same thing next year at ESEH 🧵

If you can't make it to our #wceh2024 sessions tomorrow (Friday) on "Visual Cultures of Arctic Extraction," why not contribute to our NiCHE series instead? One week to go until the proposal deadline (Aug 30th)! niche-canada.org/2024/08/05/c...

I also enjoyed the presentation by Tiia Sahrakorpi on experiences about home heating in Finland. It was interesting how the lives of people had been intertwined with space heating and room temperatures.
