Today I have had an article writing day devoted to the article "Friluftsliv in therapeutic residential care: Taking adolescents out to find a way in", which I co-write with Joakim Jiri Haaland, with some 1.100 words added to the text.
I also signed - again, and this time it was finalized on both ends - a book contract with Bloomsbury Academic for my book project Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement, which I will write over the next 12 months.
Yesterday was the deadline for submitting revised text to the editors of the book Mars and the Earthlings. I participate in Work group 9, which addresses political, societal and ethical aspects of going to and potentially settling on Mars. Now after recent work and editing, I am credited with having contributed to the following sections made by Workgroup 9, along with other scholars:
"Political motivations and factors for Mars race"
"Civil liberties vs. security: How much do we have to sacrifice individual freedom to survive on Mars?"
"Demography"
"Safety and governance"
"Ethical considerations of non-humans on Mars"
"Novel ecosystems"
Today I have had a book writing day, the first of its kind this Spring, and writing day #13 altogether this Spring, with some 500 words added to my book manuscript Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement. While I edited the Table of contents, the index, the bibliography and several chapter synopsises, most importantly, I finished and submitted my book proposal for Bloomsbury Academic.
Today I have had a writing day, the 7th so far this Spring, devoted to various tasks including some work on my book project Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement, reporting of scientific publications from 2023, and a little initial work on my article "Applied Umwelt theory – in the context of descriptive phenomenology and phenomenological triangulation", with some 100 words written.
Today I have had the first writing day this Spring, mostly devoted to making a writing plan for the entire Spring (see previous post). I have also made a draft progress plan for my book project Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement, estimating some 75 writing days resulting in a finished manuscript in June 2025. This would realistically leave space for only 10 article/chapter writing days in Autumn 2024 as well as in Spring 2025.
Yesterday I was notified by the Faculty of Social Sciences that my research leave application for the academic year 2024-25, which I would have used to finish my book project Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement, has been declined.

It has been quite a day. I flew for the first time in a year. The flight (Stavanger > Oslo) was three-four hours late. I had a meeting with an editor at Universitetsforlaget (Scandinavian University Press) to discuss my book project Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement, and then met with a scholar with which I have common research interests. Also, it is election day in Norway.
Today I have had an article writing day, the 10th this Autumn, with some work done involving my recently published article on CCS and climate justice, the book Semiotic agency: Science beyond mechanism, and the book procject Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement, and some 100 words written.
