The STREAMS are coming!

 

This summer the KTH Environmental Humanities Laboratory arranges STREAMS - Transformative Environmental Humanities. An amazing, online event between August 3 and 7 (on Central European Time). We welcome researchers, activists and artist from a wide range of disciplines to meet under a joint team and to discuss future directions of thinking and acting in a time of an ecological crisis.

 


About

STREAMS is an international conference for the Environmental Humanities. We gather researchers from a wide range of academic disciplines as well as artists, activists and practitioners. The Environmental Humanities has grown considerably during the last decade and STREAMS seeks to offer a space in which this experimental and dynamic field can meet, discuss and set out future directions for thinking and acting in a time of an ongoing ecological crisis. STREAMS is made up of several single sessions organized under a joint theme. The purpose is to reflect strands of practices and philosophies within the Environmental Humanities. At the same time, it is also an invitation to see how streams diverge, merge, and new ones emerge over time.

 

Originally we had planned for this event in August 2020, but due to the pandemic it was postponed. For the same reasons we have decided to go completely online this year.
