The Environmental Humanities Laboratory

Since its inception in 2011/2012, the Environmental Humanities Laboratory (EHL) has been a world leader in the environmental humanities field, focusing mostly on climate justice, social transformations and just transitions, migration, environmental justice, urban challenges, natural resources, policy, and environmental governance. The mission has been to develop a space for knowledge experiments, robust public engagement, and collaboration around societal challenges in the spirit of the global sustainability goals.

At the start of 2023, the EHL will transition into an official center of the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. An outstanding achievement that implies that KTH is deeply committed to supporting and strengthening EHL’s work and existing activities, thereby speeding up the integration of humanities knowledge in the university. The vision for the EHL Centre is to become an internationally leading Centre at KTH, a space to develop humanities knowledge and to address the socio-ecological crisis, placing the human experience and humanities knowledge at its core. The EHL Centre’s mission will be to advance research that supports just transition toward sustainability and fostering partnerships within and outside KTH, with civil society organizations, public and private institutions, enterprises, and other relevant actors.
