The Oslo School of Environmental Humanities aims to stimulate environmental research that asks innovative questions and seeks dialogue across disciplinary divides, and beyond academia.
OSEH Collaboratories
-
Anthropogenic Soils
A science-humanities-arts collaboratory on soil care in contaminated times. Anthropogenic Soils aims to start conversations around soils from multiple disciplinary perspectives.
-
Bionic Natures
Across the world, emergent technologies are being developed and put to work that replace, augment or transform existing ecological processes—creating new bionic natures, cyborg ecologies composed of organic and artificial elements. What happens to the idea of nature when nature becomes a cyborg?
-
Critical Petroaesthetics
What is the cultural impact of petroleum, and how might the aesthetics of oil be a factor holding back progress on a transition to alternative energy? Scholars of literature, media, rhetoric, musicology, theology, and political science are looking for answers to these questions.
