Ich wechsle mal die Sprache und das Hashtag und poste meine Rezension von dem genialen Roman Doggerland von Agnes Ravatn. Reine Lesefreude, hoffentlich findet der Text den Weg in weiteren Sprachen. #LitWiss #LiteraryTranslation

Can someone please organise another conference in NL please? ASAP? I brought this back from the #EASLCE2026 and now I'm not sure I can return to life without it.

Sad about the end of the #EASLCE2026 in Utrecht? Those working on Nordic #Ecocritism & #EnvHum can put in a proposal for the ENSCAN workshop later this year. enscan.net/workshops/re...

Spilt two drinks over myself yesterday, but I've decided it's an embodied response to the watery environs & oceanic theme of #EASLCE2026. Looking forward to more not-dry talks & messy interactions with my #EnvHum community 💦

Being out in the wind & mud on Friday was a welcome chance to learn more about the #WaddenSea. But also to reflect on the value of our network & the importance of our intellectual community & humanity in these times. #ConservationHumanities

Happy to duck out of my writing tunnel for a last little research visit to Stavanger. It is 10 years this year since I first spent time here.
