The Greenhouse Centre for Environmental Humanities
The Greenhouse is an environmental humanities research centre at the University of Stavanger.
The Greenhouse supports a growing community of academics who use history, literature, media, religion, philosophy and art to understand how people relate to nature and the environment.
As an intellectual meeting place, we want to create connections between academics, museums, special interest groups and the public who are interested in environmental issues.
