Environmental Humanities

As a subject area, the Environmental Humanities has emerged over the last decade as a response to significant environmental challenges that have proved impossible to address comprehensively within the confines of traditional disciplinary boundaries.

The Environmental Humanities is thus an area of work that seeks to highlight the importance of the humanities in meeting these challenges, while also looking to stage conversations with the natural sciences.

Goals

In order to narrow down somewhat this broad scope, the Thematic Network on Environmental Humanities has three initial strands:

  1. Indigenous, decolonial, gender, and feminist perspectives in interdisciplinary collaboration
  2. Transdisciplinary methodologies, sustainability, and planetary health
  3. Care, creativity, and communication as contribution to peace in the Arctic
