- I have a new article out in the Journal of Tourism History, looking at how travel guides, infrastructure and photography shaped tourism in Norway. What and who did travel guides depict, in text and photographs, and how? www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
- The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) has recently been aligned with CEFR and will begin adding CEFR levels to score reports soon. It looks like JLPT N2 caps out at B2, while high enough scores on N1 can reach C1. I like that the levels correspond to "Linguistic, Receptive". #langsky

- 2025 was a difficult year for conservation, but scientists, activists, and communities continue the struggle — and their stories hint at a brighter future. Here’s a sample of notable environmental books published this year. Views in books are the authors’, not necessarily Mongabay’s.

- Hard to overstate how concerning this is. There are over 46,000 people, a school, and a hospital in the flash flood warning area. Washington communities have been bracing for levee failures as another round of atmospheric rivers arrives to full rivers and saturated soils.

- Oh, seeing now that Kai Erikson passed away last month. “Everything in its Path” was really formative to me early on in grad school, and when I decided to study Paradise after the Camp Fire. It’s probably become more relevant than even he could have imagined…an important legacy to leave behind.
