19 October 2019 – London, UK
organised by London Centre for Interdisciplinary Research
Multiple environmental crises are increasingly inescapable at both
transnational and local levels and the role of the humanities in addition to
technology and politics is more and more recognized as central for exploring and
finding solutions. Representations of nature’s agency have become central to
many studies conducted in literature, culture studies, philosophy, history,
sociology or political science. This conference aims to explore the
relationship between the physical environment and text in its broader meaning
as well as analyse the social concerns raised by environmental crises.
Conference panels will be related, but not limited, to:
- Sustainable Development
- Biopolitics
- Animal Studies
- Cultural and Literary Ecology
- Ecolinguistics
- Ecosophy
- Ethnobiology
- Ecofeminism
- Posthumanism
- Environmental Arts
- Environmental History
We invite proposals from various disciplines including political
sciences, history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, literature,
linguistics, etc.
Paper proposals up to 250 words and a brief biographical note should be
sent by 20 July 2019 to: eco@lcir.co.uk. Please download paper proposal form.
Registration fee – 100 GBP
Provisional conference venue: Birkbeck, University of London,
