The photo is from field work on “petro-urbanism,” studying how the extraction of oil off the coast of Angola is turned into large-scale urban infrastructure provided by Chinese State-Owned Enterprises. The project builds on Ricardo Cardoso’s PhD studies and the AXA GROWL Research project lead by Henrik Ernstson, including Jia Ching Chen, Wangui Kimari, Tiffany Liu and Ricardo Cardoso.

Print Projects 84 US-AB September 2019 Publications 114 Foreword 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 mem- ory 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.
