Training
Training professionals as well as academic scientists and scholars in the environmental humanities is crucial to spread and apply the knowledge needed to face issues of sustainability and global challenges. It is also an essential tool in the ongoing transformation of the humanities.
The EHL trains students on all levels
Undergraduate education
Courses
- AK1204 Environmental History 7.5 credits (given in English, together with KTH students)
- AK121V The Climate Crisis as a Societal Problem 7.5 credits (given in Swedish)
- AK122V Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Development 4.0 credits (given in Swedish)
- AK124V Transition: Pathways to a Fossil-free Society 4.0 credits (given in Swedish)

We offer courses both to enrolled KTH students, and external students. Undergraduate education in the EHL reflects the new knowledge that is derived from research in the EHL. Our courses are integrated in the total offering from the Division of History of Science, Technology and Environment. Undergraduate students will be invited to work in close contact with research. Our undergraduate courses also seek to:
- Assist in building new integrated programs at the undergraduate and masters level
- Be of relevance for students interested in environmental humanities in all universities
- Integrate elements from the humanities in KTH technology programs
PhD training
PhD training with us is an integrated part of both research and teaching. Doctoral students of the Lab, are enrolled in the Division of History's doctoral program Historical Studies of Science, Technology, and Environment and participate in research projects and work closely with supervisors and research track leaders.
The doctoral students pursue their work within one of several Research Tracks which in turn build on the concept of Environing Technologies – that the environment is a historical formation by people and societies which form their surroundings and themselves and thereby use knowledge, technology, and aesthetics.
