Upcoming Book Publication: A Time of Disastrous Anticipations
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming publication of A Time of Disastrous Anticipations: Essays on Life in the Shadow of Catastrophe, edited by two members of our research group, Reidar Staupe and Monika Gabriela Bartoszewicz.
This compelling volume highlights the role of anticipation in shaping societal narratives and explores strategies for redefining responses to catastrophic imaginaries. Through a combination of theoretical insights and practical examples, the book reveals that catastrophe is not so much a matter out of place, but primarily a matter out of time.
This publication truly showcases the versatile expertise within our group, featuring chapters by other members, including Leikny Bakke Lie, Miriam Matejova, and Barbara Schabowska. Their contributions cover a diverse range of topics, from natural hazards and disinformation to the mental health crisis, reflecting the breadth and depth of our research endeavors.

We look forward to the impact this publication will have on the field and invite you to explore its insights.

On January 23, 2025, representatives from our team, Ingeborg Skjelmo and Are Sydnes, attended the NoCoU kick-off meeting in Oslo. The gathering was marked by a spirit of creativity, inclusivity, and openness, setting a positive tone for the collaborative efforts ahead.
The meeting featured a series of lightning talks where partners presented their European, national, and self-funded projects. This format facilitated a dynamic exchange of ideas and insights, highlighting the diverse expertise and innovative approaches within the network. Following the presentations, participants engaged in a brainstorming session focused on individual contributions and activities planned for the near future.
We are particularly excited about our role as the coordinating institution for Work Package 2 in this project. This position allows us to significantly influence activities at both the national level and within the regional nodes of the network. It is a great responsibility, but also a remarkable opportunity for our research group to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of civil security in society.
We look forward to leveraging this opportunity to enhance our research impact and foster stronger collaborations across the network. Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey.
