CFP: Aesthetics of Gentrification: Art, Architecture, and Displacement

International Conference, University of Oregon in Portland, April 5-6, 2019

Organized by Slow Lab at the University of Oregon, this interdisciplinary conference brings togeher scholars from across the humanities, social sciences, and art and design fields to explore the aesthetic dimensions of gentrification in the present era of accelerated urbanism.

Ecocriticism plays a significant role in shaping environmental consciousness. Representations of nature’s agency 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 crisis.

Conference panels will be related, but not limited, to:
