Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Anders Ekström and Sverker Sörlin take an active part in critical debates of humanities in and for society. University policies in the last decades have primarily aimed at the research component, to trigger excellence and international visibility, whereas education and collaboration have played a secondary role, often disconnected from the excellence surge in research policies. The British RAE/REF systems are cases in point, but similar tendencies are visible throughout the world. The authors analyze the concept of "integrative environments" where education, research and collaboration are vitally interconnected - either orchestrated by universities or as spontaneous outcomes from below. It critically examines how such integrative environments have been set up in different university settings, and particularly point to the promising route of conjoining different intellectual backgrounds and disciplines in them (such as humanities, environmental studies, policy and industry).

Ice Humanities : Living, Thinking and Working in a Melting World
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ice humanities is a pioneering collection of essays that tackles the existential crisis posed by the planet's diminishing ice reserves. By the end of this century, we will likely be facing a world where sea ice no longer reliably forms in large areas of the Arctic Ocean, where glaciers have not just retreated but disappeared, where ice sheets collapse, and where permafrost is far from permanent. The ramifications of such change are not simply geophysical and biochemical. They are societal and cultural, and they are about value and loss. Where does this change leave our inherited ideas, knowledge and experiences of ice, snow, frost and frozen ground? How will human, animal and plant communities superbly adapted to cold and high places cope with less ice, or even none at all? The ecological services provided by ice are breath-taking, providing mobility, water and food security for hundreds of millions of people around the world, often Indigenous and vulnerable communities. The stakes could not be higher. Drawing on sources ranging from oral testimony to technical scientific expertise, this path-breaking collection sets out a highly compelling claim for the emerging field of ice humanities, convincingly demonstrating that the centrality of ice in human and non-human life is now impossible to ignore.

David Lowenthal's archipelagic landscape of learning

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses David Lowenthal's last book, Quest for the Unity of Knowledge, which was published posthumously by Routledge in 2019 (available in print from November 2018). The book is based on a series of lectures that he gave while a visiting fellow with the KTH Royal Institute of Technology’s Environmental Humanities Laboratory in Stockholm in 2012. Aimed at a general academic audience, it is an erudite and passionate overview showing how ingrained bias towards unity or diversity shapes major issues in education, religion, genetics, race relations, heritage governance, and environmental policy. Quest for the Unity of Knowledge explores the Two Cultures debate, initiated by C.P. Snow, concerning the gulf between the sciences and the humanities. It covers areas such as conservation, ecology, history of ideas, museology, landscape, and heritage studies, aligning with Lowenthal's career-long research interests, and serving as well as a meta-comment to the emerging Environmental Humanities.
