Better put this on the CC tour @Beyonce! 🤌


Looking forward to this session, too, participating with Dario Fazzi @siculosvevo talking about his new book Smoke on the Water, about ocean incineration of chemicals, @haztravrcc and with @DaveKinkela moderating.

I'll be at #ASEH2024 presenting my book and sharing findings with such great colleagues as @BaptizedinPCBs @haztravrcc and @DaveKinkela, in what's gonna be a terrific session on transnational environmental activism. Feel free to join us if you're around too, I just can't wait!

In his Nobel lecture, President Carter said, “We will not learn to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.” His words resonate today more than ever as the Israel-Hamas conflict enters a new and even more dangerous phase. Full statement: bit.ly/45YVpmG


If you have a chance to check out Dario Fazzi’s Smoke on the Water from @ColumbiaUP, you’ll find it a great read about activism to address an important global environmental concern.

On October 30 I will be talking about my book and how its story connects to Zeeland. If you're in M'burg and want to know more about it, feel free to (register and) come by. Drinks are on us, questions on you!



Check out this important new book by Dario Fazzi, coming soon!

Ok, now the editing's done and proofs are coming. So it's gonna happen. Plus, friends are already sharing it, making me feel honoured and blissful. Of boats, waste, diplomacy, people, and the sea, hoping you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it: cup.columbia.edu/book/smoke-on-…



Looking forward to this provocative panel and to seeing everyone at ASEH! @egspears @BaptizedinPCBs @ASEH_org

With this crew next week at the @ASEH_org conference in Boston talking about what to do when archives are closed & you need what’s in them! ⭐️ @greggmitman @BaptizedinPCBs @smallerlarge @BartElmore @rebecca_altman tinyurl.com/2lmnunfx



Yes, indeed, Boston here we come!

So looking forward to being a part of this discussion!



Looking forward to seeing folks there!

Just a little honest bragging here: This is going to be out of this world! Check out the full program and come by M'burg in October. 20 speakers, talks, exchanges, and the most engaging reflection on environmental justice in US history out there! #envhum #envhis #envjust

We're excited to announce that last month EDGI received an STS program grant from the National Science Foundation to investigate how the EJ movement in the US has affected data- and science-related values, methods, and practices at the EPA. envirodatagov.org/edgi-receives-…

Thanks @JoeBiden 😎

Thanks to all who added their voices to the campaign to keep the EPA Web Archive alive!

It’s official! The EPA has decided to keep its web archive live at least until July 2023. This is a HUGE victory. Last month we sent an open letter to the EPA, imploring them not to sunset this archive, which provides public access to hundreds of thousands of documents. 1/

🗣️ Historians speak out on why the EPA online archive is a vital public resource that should be preserved (and improved) in this article by EDGI & @EHAC_EDGI’s @ScoutBlum and @egspears for @AHAhistorians Read the article: historians.org/publications-a…

So excited to see this out. The amazing @egspears and I discuss the problems with the closure of an online EPA archive, part of our work with @EHAC_EDGI and @EnviroDGI to keep info available to the public and scholars. historians.org/publications-a…


Spears, Ellen Reposted

In their new AHA Perspectives piece, @EHAC_EDGI members @ScoutBlum and @egspears1 lay out the potential consequences of the threat to the EPA Digital Archive and continue our push to save it from closure. historians.org/publications-a…


Act now to call on EPA to maintain and upgrade its digital archive, so important to researchers and the public...

The ASEH, @EnviroDGI, @EHAC_EDGI, and other organizations strongly urge the @EPA to keep its online archive alive and accessible now and for future generations. Read @SSElkind's letter: aseh.org/resources/Docu…



Glad to have a chapter in this just-published compendium of environmental activism around the globe. Tell your library now: routledge.com/The-Routledge-…

What a tragic loss. Paul Farmer was such an inspiring person. Now, more than ever, we need to carry on his vision of what medicine could be, and his dedication to combatting structural violence to improve the lives and livelihoods of those around the world.

Dr. Paul Farmer, Harvard Medical School professor, anthropologist & founder of Partners in Health, has died at age 62. He started hospitals in Rwanda and Haiti and also helped bring life-saving HIV drugs to the people of Haiti in the early 2000s. n.pr/3p2XviE
