Been reading my copy of @ingridagnete.bsky.social 's new book, hot off the press. Superb account of the creation of 'the Arctic' as a region by peopled state bureaucracies.

Ingrid A. Medby har forsket på den #arktiske statsidentiteten og hva begrepet #Arktis betyr for statsansatte i #Norge, #Canada og #Island. Hun håper forskningen kan bidra til mer bevissthet rundt begrepet. @arcticfrontiers.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social www.highnorthnews.com/nb/har-skrev...

🐻‍❄️OUT NOW Arctic state identity by @ingridagnete.bsky.social charts the reflections and stories of state personnel from Norway, Iceland and Canada. Providing a 'peopled' view of #geopolitics, it explores their shifting roles and identities in a time of rapid environmental change. 🧊

Weekend trip to #Stockholm and (of course) visited this exhibition - "The #Arctic: While the Ice is Melting" - at the Nordiska Museet: www.nordiskamuseet.se/en/exhibitio... It's worth a visit - incl. insights from Indigenous Peoples, scientists, and media about (changing) life in the region. ❄️

So, I've been invited to give a seminar at Swansea Uni in February - very excited and honoured! And then I looked at getting there from NCL and feel....less excited 😬 Any travel advice, anyone? (according to Google Maps I can walk there in 5 days with no breaks, seems like a plausible option).

A more questionable work-related decision: 1) Buying xmas chocolates for students attending my office hours... Ending up eating most of it myself 😅 (and frankly knowing this would probably happen)

Two work-related decisions I'm very pleased with having made in the last few weeks: 1) Moving to Bluesky; 2) Muting work emails on phone after hours and weekends. Can highly recommend 💆‍♀️ (and should have figured out how much sooner tbh!)
