We decorated the Greenhouse Christmas tree at our weekly open lunch today. It’s a plastic tree, to signify our deep entanglements with petroculture in the Anthropocene. Also, it was really cheap at the IKEA January sale a few years ago.

Really fascinating portrait article in the NY Times Magazine on Solvej Balle and her 7-book series about a woman living a single day over and over again. I’ve read the first four, it’s hypnotic. Need to get the next two and then wait for her to finish the last!

I’m very excited to share this: Research Notes Studio is now live www.researchnotesstudio.com.
What started as a handful of research favours slowly grew into something larger. And somewhere between grant deadlines, and the strange luck of academic life, this little studio took shape.

Today: the final official rephotography walk in Sørmarka as part of the DigiFREN project. The weather looks pretty unstable, anything could happen. Hoping for a decently sized group, though. We’ll stop for waffles and coffee in the tower cafe!

An evening listening to vinyl records. Had found a used copy of Neil Young’s Sleeps With Angels from 1994 and it sounds fabulous. A magical album.

Today: not a day of rest, sadly, but I took the time to go downtown for some errands and for some light writing with coffee in front of the fireplace at Kokko.

It’s #UPWeek so I want to give a shout-out to the university presses out there doing a fantastic job to bring scholarship to life. They are the antidote we need to the massive commercial academic presses!

Today: no meetings, no events. Doesn’t happen often. Can’t get away from some teaching prep in the morning, but after that I’ll turn off the internet and do some actual writing. Random notes and thoughts from the last several months could potentially become something coherent!

Today: speaking to a group of recently graduated PhDs in humanities and education about network building and project development. Or, as I’ll frame it, identity and community. Who are your people and where are they? Who do you want to work with? How can you create the conditions to do so?

Half-day of home office work after campus meetings in the morning, tweaking text and writing project summaries for a major grant proposal. All while listening to vinyl records such as this beauty - Low’s Things We Lost in the Fire. The weekend is almost here.
