The Division of History of Science, Technology and Environment is extremely proud to present our colleague Nina Wormbs, who became Professor of History of Technology. This was in late 2019 but our festivities for the occasion were crossed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, finally, the time has come to applaud!
We meet at KTH in the lecture hall V3 on Teknikringen 72, floor 5, on Thursday 24 November from 2-3pm. Afterwards, we will celebrate and mingle at the division.
Nina’s lecture is titled “Without a title”. It may speak to Nina’s specialization, the history of information infrastructure, but no promises are made other than that this is going to be extremely interesting.
See you at the lecture!

Working as a doctoral student in the Nuclearwaters-Project (ERC Consolidator Grant, PI Per Högselius), I focus on the nuclear history of Eastern Europe, especially on the territory of the former Soviet Union and its successor states. Furthermore, I investigate expert cultures in nuclear discourses, with a special interest in water-related issues in nuclear power plant decision-making. In addition, I am intrigued by the entanglement of the commercial, scientific and political interests concerning nuclear technologies, with its sometimes harsh consequences on human societies and the environment. Recently this interest has extended to energy systems as a whole in Eastern Europe, including fossil fuels and renewables. Questions of transition within international energy systems in the face of the climate crisis and recent political developments become more important, as my work progresses.
