Join us for our upcoming virtual conference “The Coronavirus Pandemic: An Environmental Humanities Perspective,” held online via Zoom on February 16 and 17, 2023. We will convene on Thursday, February 16, 2023: 9:00am — 4:45pm (CET) ans Friday, February 17: 9:00am — 4:00pm (CET).
The COVID-19 pandemic has been recognized as a direct response to the complex interplay of progressive environmental degradation through, for example, ecosystem disruption, urbanization, international travel, and climate change. This conference brings together scholars from across the globe, and across multiple fields, who apprehend the coronavirus across a human/environmental nexus. Presentations at this conference consider the COVID-19 pandemic a key challenge for the present, addressing implications for the future in the areas of ecology, community organizing, planetary health, resilience, waste, and human/more-than-human relations, among others.
