@E_Devienne Thanks Elsa

@Scorhill @washingtonpost Thanks Matt

M’colleague, @rebkwright, has written for @washingtonpost in response to the terrible fire in the Bronx about how ‘New York’s unique heating infrastructure has raised questions of political power and racial and economic justice since the late 19th century.’

@Hilarita_F Thanks Hilary!

Crucial historical context for the recent tragedy in New York from my fabulous colleague @rebkwright

@DrJenniferAston @NorthumbriaHist Thanks Jen

Access to heat has long been political. I have tried to provide some historical context on the tragic fire in the Bronx in this article. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/0…

We're putting together a new committee for an #EHW2021 #envhist tweeters, would you like to join in? 👇 …onmentalhistoryworkshop.wordpress.com/2021/03/15/ehw…

EHW 2021: Call for organizers! …onmentalhistoryworkshop.wordpress.com/2021/03/15/ehw… We have been hearing from #envhist friends that an Environmental History Workshop in 2021 would be fun. We agree! DM or email to discuss joining the 2021 organizing committee 😃

@E_Devienne @sarahthestan @chstmorg @womnknowhistory @envhistwomen @DiscardStudies This sounds great! Just what I need. I would definitely be interested in joining.

Hey #energytwitter/history folks. I'm planning to pitch an online energy working group to @chstmorg. Goal is a space to discuss wip or new work in energy #history. I need a list of interested scholars. Any takers? #envhist @womnknowhistory @envhistwomen @DiscardStudies

@ruuskanenep @awatson8381 @NiCHE_Canada As Elsa mentioned, I have just finished a book on energy and it’s role in American intellectual history. So, if this fits, would be really interested in joining the panel.

@UeberDruss Congratulation Daniela. What a great article. Exciting to see more work on WEC!

This feels like my first publication, or rather: the first still of a work-in-progress. I'm a slow writer and too nervous to read it again, but there's parts that I remember and that I still like and I hope you do too. dx.doi.org/10.1017/S17400…

Academic jobs! We're recruiting in the field of BAME History (focus on BAME communities in Britain and/or Continental Europe). Details via northumbria.ac.uk/work-for-us/jo… (Associate Professor/Professor) and northumbria.ac.uk/work-for-us/jo… (Lecturer/Senior Lecturer).

Last few free tickets left for the "Environmental History Workshop". Catering order has been confirmed and we are ready to go! Can't wait to welcome everyone to Newcastle next week.
