This week I’m doing zine workshops with college students and it’s so incredibly inspiring. We base the zines on some of the themes developed in my PhD like chemical pollution and the Danish pesticide manufacturer, Cheminova. We’re having an exhibition on Friday in Copenhagen. Come by!

Besides planning our PhD course in January on environmental history, a BA course also on the Anthropocene and preparing for work as a science policy fellow. Lots of exciting stuff is also in the pipeline. Stay tuned!!

Anyone knowing when exact(ish) carbon capture and storage stopped being categorized as geoengineering? It seems like it just slipped into being an ordinary feasible technology?

So many things happening during #eseh2025, but for now: 🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨 In “The pollution-industrial complex and the making of Denmark as an environmental frontrunner, 1965-1975” we explore how environmental regulation became a matter of technology rather than strict (and strictly) regulation.

I am developing a course titled “Anthropocene Histories, History in the Anthropocene” at UCPH. My idea is to structure the it thematically through planetary boundaries. But what are the best texts around these days. I have the obvious stuff: Chakrabarty, Bonneuil & Fressoz, McNeill, Brown

For those selected few who know Danish: I have written an article that synthesizes #envhum #envhis perspectives on pollution for a popular media platform. I use examples from my PhD written @greenhouseuis.net. I warn against seeing pollution as a domain reserved for techno-science and politicians.

Sebastian Lundsteen @sebmergence.bsky.social · 10/03/2025
The piece is a strong contribution to the prevalent discussions within the environmental justice literature and chemical/pollution humanities where terms like "slow violence," "shadow places," and "multispecies justice" are some of the major references.

Sebastian Lundsteen @sebmergence.bsky.social · 10/03/2025
The article suggests other kinds of sensibilities that might help us reckon with the devastating consequences of living in a permanently polluted world where toxic exposures become harder to experience immediately.

What’s happening in the US is starting to feel more like a hacking than an election, with Trump basically cast as the idiot who clicked on the phishing email that let the ransomware guys in. Struck by how crucial tech not politics reporters are to us understanding it
