Thinking about sustainability is required by my employer both in research and education. Important, but for some reason it sometimes feels as a difficult task being an art historian - at least if focussing on content (I can of course use less resources and travel more environmental etc.). The structure of the courses are by tradition chronological, but a strand of environmental themes could be highlighted in more contemporary art alongside the already existing perspectives like gender and post-colonialism. That would in fact not be hard at all since artists expresses these issues in their works as part of a continuing debate. One example of this I can see everyday at work, Atti Johansson's Hot om liv (Threat of life) from the 1970s. It is a contribution to the debate on the use of poison in forestry at the time. In short - I have no excuse not trying to include more thoughts on sustainability in my work.
