Publication day 🎉 A CIRCUMPOLAR LANDSCAPE is out now in UK/Europe (July in US/Canada)! @abdn_arthistory
It's also publication day for A CIRCUMPOLAR LANDSCAPE: ART AND ENVIRONMENT IN SCANDINAVIA AND NORTH AMERICA, 1890-1930 by @issy_gapp
...the first substantial transnational and eco-critical assessment of Scandinavian and Canadian landscape painting: lundhumphries.com/collection…
Finally time to log out of this account, I think. I'll be over on Instagram and Bluesky (if I can remember to use it). ❄️

Faroese artist Frida Zachariassen & her paintings of women's involvement in the Faroese fishing industry during the 1950s. Article by @issy_gapp's tidsskrift.dk/periskop/artic…
Exciting way to end the year and start of annual leave 😄
So excited to see the positive comments about @issy_gapp's new book in the December issue of @Choice_Reviews!
'... turns to the shared geographical areas and natural environments of Scandinavia and Canada to address a new ecocritical history of art. ... Highly recommended.'
Try finding a better department! 🥰
What a fantastic way to round off the term, with a departmental research away day to @greyhopebay!
It's so inspiring to read each others work, & made even more special by the beautiful views! Thank-you Greyhope for allowing us to take over a table in the cafe for a few hours!

I'm so pleased to have opened today my first proper exhibition at @scottpolar.
Entitled, 'Under the Rays of the Aurora Borealis: Sophus Tromholt refound'.
The team worked so hard to make it work. The private view was a huge celebration (and a huge relief)!
