EVENT: Theorising Research Ecologies? An Environmental Humanities Symposium
Seminar Room H204 (and online), UCD Humanities Institute, 9:00 – 17:00 (IST), Thursday 11th April, University College Dublin.
How can the environmental humanities expand to consider ‘research environment’ as a form of environment? How do factors such as location, networking, and digital space matter to the environmental critic? Does turning a critical lens to our laptops, desks, or travel choices augment or hinder our practice? This event showcases current Environmental Humanities research, advancing the field in new place-based and politically engaged directions.
Speakers: Michelle Bastian (University of Edinburgh); Sam Solnick (University of Liverpool); Éireann Lorsung (University College Dublin); Patrick Brodie (University College Dublin); Lisa Otty (University of Edinburgh); Ellen Rowley (University College Dublin).
Free to attend in-person or online: https://forms.gle/sosgTjEqXiSr8ueS9.
