Annual Report 2017-2018 Defining Humanities

The Division has published reports since its early years in the beginning of the 1990s, then as the Division of History of Science and Technology. These reports are always good to have. They serve as anchoring points for institutional memory and inspiration for comparison and reflection. There is also always a certain friction in producing them… As our activities broadened and diversified considerably in the early years of the present decade – when we changed our name, adding “environment” to it, started the KTH Environmental Humanities Lab and also started to grow considerably – it proved increasingly challenging to also keep track and report on all the things we did. We realized that in order to motivate the reporting we needed to present our work in ways that invited our own reflexivity on what we were doing and where we were headed. We also thought we should use the report to communicate what we did better. The first report according to this new format covered the years 2012 to 2014. We then did a biennial report 2015-2016. This is the third of this new line of reports. It covers 2017 and 2018, years that have been just as active and busy as the preceding ones. There are a few dimensions of our work that we have gone a little bit deeper into this time. One is publishing. This is perhaps where we have changed most, going from a largely Swedish language publishing culture to one that is predominantly in the English language and where publications appear in peer reviewed journals and books. Still we are very active in Swedish media and in the national policy arena. We try to reflect on this seemingly paradoxical appearance. QC 20210607</p
