Meeting Description:

Traditional scientific approaches provide important information on
climate change and environmental degradation; however, they typically
fail to address the underlying cultural, ethical, and philosophical
dimensions of such crises. These are deeply interwoven with economic
and political agendas, and thus need multifaceted solutions.
Environmental humanities connects diverse fields, enabling dynamic and
interdisciplinary dialogue, which is essential in enhancing scientific
efforts and promoting comprehensive solutions to intricate global
challenges. Through the examination of cultural narratives, historical
patterns, linguistic frameworks, and ethical discourses, environmental
humanities enables us to reevaluate our connection with nature. By
exploring the potential for composing a common world that unites both
human and non-human entities, environmental humanities encourages a
holistic understanding of our place within the ecosystem.

Call for Papers:

We welcome papers on literature, language, and culture that address
questions broadly related to environmental humanities*. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
 - environmental harm/environmental justice/catastrophes and
pandemics,
 - ecological issues and enduring legacies of racism, enslavement, and
colonialism,
 - encounters between environmentalism and feminism,
 - interrelationship between race, gender, poverty, and ecological
concerns,
 - climate migrations/climate trauma,
 - natural landscape, landscape modification, ruins, spaces of
abandonment,
 - postnatural fiction, novels of the Anthropocene, Cli-Fi, extinction
narratives, etc.,
 - representation of objects/matter/non-human others in discourse,
 - Indigenous knowledges and practices,
 - ecodiscourses, practices of making and communicating ecological
knowledge,
 - media systems and artifacts embedded in ecological relationship,
 - ecological analysis of language, ecostylistics,
 - eco-translatology,
 - ecological approach to teaching and learning, ecopedagogy,
ecoliteracy,
 - language ecology: language diversity, minority languages.

*We also welcome proposals for presentations and panels on a variety
