Our newest post in EHN's #AnniversaryWeek is Charlotte Wrigley's exploration of Finnskogen's fire history, part of our PROBLEMS OF PLACE series #envhum #envhist envhistnow.com/2026/09/17/d...

Disorientation: Walking Through Finnskogen’s Fire History

Walking through Finnskogen reveals how fire, Forest Finn heritage, hidden traces and ecological restoration reshape our understanding of place.

Consider publishing with us - we’ve expanded our categories from env history to env humanities more broadly, incl. book reviews, op ed and news commentary. Or, an inspiring field not piece like this one:

EHN is celebrating its 8 years of publishing. This year I’m honoured and proud to be part of it as the exec content editor. We’ll be posting new pieces and selected essays every day this week!

It's EHN's Anniversary Week, celebrating 8 years of publishing FLINTA* grad students and ECRs in #envhum. We're posting brilliant new pieces every day this week, so watch this space!

And if you're attending, consider joining myself, @katiekung.bsky.social, @jmheberling.bsky.social, and stellar line up of additional contributors on Friday for a whole day of engaging with as well as learning, discussing, and writing about #InvasiveSpecies! Check out panel CF16 on the programme :)

Rant: Another /Curse of the age of AI/ is the constant need to verify as human. And human me keeps failing it cuz I leave the tab open for too long (I guess it’s a very human thing to do). Having to be ✨smart and cheeky✨and open the link again in a new private window is also just all too human.

'Killing barred owls to delay this eventuality [clear fate of wild spotted owls] is a moral atrocity, an effort to ‘do something’ even if it is scientifically ineffective and ethically wrong." Good piece by my colleague Dr. Bill Lynn @panworks.bsky.social #owls #birds #science #ethics #ecology

Killing Barred Owls is a Moral Atrocity

Originally published by Bill Lynn, PhD, in The Ecological Citizen.

Hell yeah reposting this …

Today marks the start of my last month as a postdoc in Finland. As much as I would like to say I managed to secure myself another position, the (academic) job market is rough right now. I’m officially #OpenTowork. It’s not all bleak as I'm moving back to NL - and my partner and our cats (1/5)

For example, someone could write a piece about (for the lack of better terms) the delululusions surrounding that humpback whale Timmy/Hope.

Come write with us at EHN! Graduate students and early career scholars who identify as women, trans, and/or nonbinary people (FLINTA*) are invited to submit abstracts for our next round of publications.

It was a pleasure working with Olivia and Risa for this wonderful piece! At EHN we also welcome natural scientists (hello ecologists!!👋) to muse on historical, cultural and philosophical ideas with us. This field note/meditation piece is a great example!

EHN.@envhnow.bsky.social · 4mo ago

We're thrilled to share a piece reckoning with/making meaning from extinction by Olivia Davis & Risa Aria Schnebly, written for a special conference on “Making Amidst Extinction,” the results of which will be published in an upcoming special issue in Cultural Geographies #envhist #envhum

It’s today! Come by RCC! (pitch welcome 😄)

“The message has all the subtlety of a hammer: We can’t live without fossil fuels.” “Climate change doesn’t matter when we are paying 50 cents per litre more for petrol.” Robyn’s short article out today helps us make sense of the oil&gas headlines in Aus and beyond.

Today, Robyn Gulliver is MAKING SENSE OF...fossil fuel marketing. Our new series helps you make sense of the news from an #envhist #envhum perspective.

"This case reveals the power alliances, whims, and eccentricities of private interests that produced enduring ecological and social damage rooted in the state’s complicity with drug trafficking from the 1980s in Colombia," María del Pilar Peralta Ardila tells us #envhist #envhum

"What is clear, however, is that this way of thinking and writing sits in woeful contradiction to the way news media reports on climate, reaching for headlines that will amass clicks and not those that represent a nuanced account of the scientific facts," writes Rae Ferner-Rose #envhist #envhum

Making Sense of Polar Bear Headlines

In recent months, I have noticed a spate of ‘positive’ headlines popping up in my news feeds and on social media about the health and well-being of polar bears. Whilst some might call me a cyn…

Train’s broken, still on my way to #EASLCE2026, on a bus somewhere between Germany and Netherlands now. Look who’s also in this together though 👀

I wrote this awhile ago with the intention to reflect on “wait what did you say?” and 10 minutes later “we are still talking about it!?”

Killing as care work? I wrote this short article for 4S Backchannel, where I outlined some ways to examine killing and care by analysing kindness and the work of killing invasive species for conservation purposes, based on observations I made during my field trip in Aotearoa.

We are extending the deadline for our junior scholars workshop until Feb. 5 2026! Please consider sharing this/applying! All-costs-covered workshop for PhD candidates/early career scholars to receive comprehensive feedback on Germanic #EnvironmentalHumanities works-in-progress!

I titled an article for submission with something rather cringey, because -> certain pressure, also because of my 0 creativity. One of the peer reviews said “honestly it’s so cringe sorry not sorry”. THANK YOU. With your permission I’m empowered. Just wanted to spit it out before bed time 🌛

Looking for any STS/Env Hum folks working on biological invasion, conservations, and multispecies violence! With this combined panel, Luiza and I planned one sesh for 1. presentations and 2. ecology-humanities tandem workshop. We hope for (lots of✨) space for interdisciplinary discussion!

I wrote this entry “(Invasive) Neobiota” with Camille for the Umwelt Wiki for key concepts in the Germanic Environmental Humanities. Learnt so much from Camille and her research in multispecies history. 🪾🌴🌳 And big thanks to @annamariasenuysal.bsky.social for the opportunity and thoughtful edits!

in case you weren't aware of r/petswithbuttons!🐈 "My cat has started to use 'vacuum' as a curse word": "For example, he will ask for "snackie” when we JUST got done with snackie and I will say “snackie all done” and then he will go spam the vacuum button." languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=72193...

One of the best things being an editor for @envhistnow.bsky.social is to have the pleasure (+luck!) to work with texts like this. I’ve learnt fr and resonated so much with @critical-lycan.bsky.social A beautiful piece meditating on the (exclusionary..) taxonomies of species and sexology. Go read!

We're thrilled to share a breathtaking new essay today from @critical-lycan.bsky.social on multispecies sanctuary, queerness, and wolfdogs #envhist #envhum

Thanks so much for the invite and letting me ramble about traps and death and care and killing ‘pest’ animals. such a great time (not so much for the dead animals mentioned, always acknowledged). I was very inspired by the variety of expertise!
