There are many things I’d like to do this year, but I have one resolution I’d really like to keep—finish my book on the literary relationship between coal and slavery. #EnergyHum #EnvHum

CFP for the 2023 #ASLE + #AESS Conference – “Beyond Scholarship ‘As Usual’” with @Menrywy and Matthew Schneider-Mayerson. How can the environmental humanities move beyond traditional modes to intervene in the accelerating crisis of climate change? #EnvHum #EnvHist #EnergyHum #ClimateChange <https://asle.org/calls-for-papers/beyond-scholarship-as-usual/>

Reposting with a translation by popular demand haha. “So, wie man den strahlenden Kern des Urans nicht sofort erkennt, ist auch der positive Kern des Menschen oft verschüttet und verdeckt.” / In the same way that one does not immediately recognize the radiant core of uranium, the possible core of a person is often buried and hidden.
Quoted from the licensing documentation of the GDR film “Sonnensucher” - great to be back at the BArch!

I just finished Matthew Huber’s _Climate Change as Class War_ <https://www.versobooks.com/books/3973-climate-change-as-class-war> which I would highly recommend for folks working on #ClimateChange #EnvHum #EnergyHum #EnvHist . Huber argues that #climate policy and #decarbonization must focus on addressing the needs of the working class such that they can be mobilized to help prevent this crisis from escalating further.

Trying this query out on the bird site, figured I'd try here as well. Compiling a list of works: extraction in US literature from the long 19th century (I already know about the whale one and the miner-dentist one). Whatcha got?
