Last week, 15 amazing students gathered in Stavanger for a PhD course on energy humanities.

It was an inspiring week during which we visited a wind farm and the students produced this wonderful catalogue filled with personal reflections on encounters with energy in its various ways and meanings.

Lots of charismatic infrastructure (and wind!) on our energy humanities excursion to Måkaknuten wind farm south of Stavanger today. #envhist #envhum
Three wind turbines on a mountain, grey clouds in the background Part of substation installation against grey clouds Long row of wind turbines on hills, road winding its way (ha!) through the landscape. More wind turbines, more clouds.

We decorated the Greenhouse Christmas tree at our weekly open lunch today. It’s a plastic tree, to signify our deep entanglements with petroculture in the Anthropocene. Also, it was really cheap at the IKEA January sale a few years ago.
