Brown Bag Seminars
The KTH Environmental Humanities Laboratory Brown Bag seminar series Autumn 2023
Welcome to EHL’s Autumn Brown Bag seminars, held at the Division of History of Science, Technology and Environment, KTH.
This Autumn guests of the EHL will present their various ongoing research, focusing on planetary health and energy, specifically on planetary mental health, planetary storage of energy, and the effects of energy crises on energy policies and human-ocean relations.
The seminars followed by discussion are held during lunch, from 12 to 13. However, one is welcome to come already by 11:45 to grap your sandwich and hang with us before the seminar starts!
