Our PhD course - 'Prefigurative politics and the changing rhythms of just energy transitions' - already packed a punch this morning, but the afternoon took it to another level with a masterclass from the brilliant Gordon Walker, diving into key debates in energy justice.

At the Centre for Development and the Environment (SUM), @uio.no University of Oslo for Day 2 of our PhD course! We started with Tanja Winther’s inspiring masterclass on gender and electricity. Excited for more on prefigurative politics and just energy transitions today!

Day one of our PhD course at FNI @fridtjofnanseninst.bsky.social ended with a lovely reception and tour of Polhøgda, Fridtjof Nansen’s historic home. Earlier, Gordon Walker gave a brilliant keynote on energy rhythms—and a few brave souls even dipped in the Oslo fjord at lunch!

Tor Håkon Jackson Inderberg @thinderberg.bsky.social continues the morning at FNI @fridtjofnanseninst.bsky.social with a masterclass on anchoring climate policy, as our PhDs dive into key policies shaping just energy transitions in their own research. #EnergyTransitions #PrefigurativePolitics

At historic Polhøgda today, home of Fridtjof Nansen and our partner @fridtjofnanseninst.bsky.social, launching our 2025 PhD course on prefigurative politics. @sidsareen.bsky.social kicks things off as we explore how shifting energy systems reshape our climate, politics & futures.

Our final afternoon in Orkney was packed with sunshine and inspiration! We heard about EMEC’s pioneering wave & tidal energy work, explored energy poverty with Florian Ahrens & Francesca Perotti; and a visit to EMEC’s Billia Croo wave testing site wrapped up the day with breathtaking views.

Stunning day again here in #Orkney! This morning, Mikaela Vasstrøm explored energy policy adaptation and governance for efficiency & justice, while Sandy Kerr discussed community benefits bridging land & sea. Plus, conversations on how #energytransitions & tech drive #sustainable local development.

It's been an inspiring week so far in Orkney. Thanks to Dan Lee for an unforgettable 'energy archaeology' tour. Another highlight today was Neil Davey's photography exhibition, offering a stunning and thought-provoking view of the islands' evolving energy story. The week continues to impress!

Day 2 of our Orkney field course kicks off with breathtaking views of Kirkwall Bay and an inspiring session on energy-scapes led by Laura Clausen. Excited to see what the rest of this incredible day has in store!

Big thanks this afternoon to Rebecca Ford, Mark Hull & Sweyn Johnston for sharing their expertise on community energy, resilience & Orkney’s council-owned wind farms.

Tomorrow: energy-scapes, energy archaeology & an energy photo exhibition, with Laura Clausen, Dan Lee & Neil Davey.

An amazing start to our field course in Orkney! Huge thanks to ICNZ for the fantastic venue. So far, we've explored energy justice in Scotland and Orkney with Lara Santos Ayllón & Kirsten Jenkins. Plus, we have incredible weather to wander the streets of Stromness!

Meet Lea Sasse! Lea joined us in 2023.

Lea, a #PhD candidate at University of Stavanger, focuses on the justice implications of the #electricvehicle transition, exploring #communityengagement, #environmentalgovernance, and supply chain tensions through case studies in Germany and Argentina.
